Guess I’m back to being a newbie here; I just sent my shout to myself instead of you. Here it is:
Sounds like the live-in friend is both a blessing and somewhat of a burden. It’s good of your family to take him in when he’s in need, but at some point you may have to decide if it’s too much.
Looke at the Won and Done site. Look cool. Being away from your spouse can be trying for both of you. I hope you and he are spending quality time together when he’s home.
Kids! It’s 2 am and I’m doing my son’s laundry because he works tomorrow and needs his uniform. And I just filled Easter baskets and set eggs in the yard. Was just thinking how much I’ll miss it when they’re up and grown. My son goes off to college this fall.
Life is pretty good for me, at least compared to the depths of the recession. Back to using my creative talents. Some time I’ll send you a link to what I’m working on. See you around.
When does it come on? Do we get MAVTV on Comcast? I have all the channels Comcast offers… in HD too! My stupid cable/internet bill is $200 a month. Ha! I love watching the races on Speed no one else gets, the NASCAR truck race was awesome this weekend.
I managed to leave and go to work yesterday but it was very difficult at the beginning. Its odd, I have no issue going out as a waitress and making talk with complete strangers but its entirely different with people I know.
Szia!

I don’t really know what it means to lease with an option to buy.
The only things that I have heard about it are:
1. the leasee/renter pays all expenses in the house during the duration of their lease (ie: hot water heater goes out, they pay; pipes burst, they pay)
2. They pay for upkeep
3. They pay a percentage (1-2%) higher than normal rent and that percentage will be their “down payment.”
How are you doing otherwise? How is your son and your family these days??
I’m homeschooling two of mine and the third will be homeschooled at the end of the school year. Crazy! I never thought I’d actually do it; but there are too many issues in public school. My daughter is in 4th grade and there were 4th grade boys who were putting their hands down girls’ pants; up shirts. Ick.
Then, my 6th grader wanted to be homeschooled, too. So, she started at home a month ago; he stared last week!

Life is moving in all different directions around here, but surprisingly i am doing OK with it.
My husband is has been out in your neck of the woods for the past few days. Job offers are coming his way and current job changes have been announced, so our life is up in the air right now.
Our house in Indiana that we want to sale may be leased out again instead of selling. So different direction then I really want to go, but I am staying open to following where I am being lead.
A friend of my husbands is coming to live with us starting next week, so my two boys will be sharing a room now. That has not been a pleasant transition. They are not too happy with being squished together in one room. I am in the process of clearing out things. They do not want to let go of things, even if it is just going in the basement. So in one room we have two book shelves, two desk, two tv’s on stands, two beds, a keyboard, and extra shelves. There is barely room to walk so I hope this means there will be less room for them to make a mess.
It’s nice to hear from you, I was starting to worry about you. Have you heard from our Twentysomething friend? I do not see here on my friend list anymore.
What a caring family you are, thats really nice to take him in.
Glad to hear about H. I got a good feeling that kid will do well. My instincts are never wrong.
I’m doing great. Mental health is a constant battle, but I’m better than I’ve ever been. Struggling to now balance social life and academics is tough. I mean when you sit at home moping all day you have a surprising amount of time to do your work.
Now I’m working on becoming healthy in having a social life and talking and experiencing things with people and its hard, taking a lot of my energy, rewarding.
I’m meditating. I’m eating well, excercizing, going to class, taking notes, rocking it. Positively framing everything.
I feel like, I’m on a new level. And its way tougher but I don’t really ever have a day where I’m just in a total funk or anything, there is just too much to accomplish and do right now. My final semester, law school applications, job applications, applying myself to school, to social junk, to building a new body and mind.
Its crazy, absolutely crazy. And some of my friends are coming along on my journey and its touching my heart.
