Oh so long....

It has been quite some time since I have written anything on here. Between school and the children and work, my time has become very scarce. So much has happened since my last post. We had Christmas in Florida, found a new house, renovated that new house, moved out of our tiny apartment, moved into our nice new house, and adjusted to life living in double the space. Max has had no flareups since we moved out of our apartment which made us believe there was mold in there and we have since contacted an attorney. I am in school and working as a server. My grandmother died during spring break and we were fortunate enough to attend a wonderful homecoming. Charlie started walking in January, much to our shock. He was 10 1/2 months old. He is now on the go all the time.

Catie is playing softball and acrobatics and doing very well in school. Max is being a holy terror and I have to keep my anger in check with him all the time. We were raised that you didn't cry unless you were hurt and crying to get your own way was a HUGE no-no. He doesn't sleep through the night and screams from the hours of 2-5am. Needless to say we are all very tired. He is so naughty and yet I love him even more because I feel that he lacking something to think that he needs to scream all the time. At what age is therapy appropriate?

I am working as a server now in a very old and historic house. It used to be part of the Castle Heights Military Academy. It was the commandants home and it is full of awesome pictures and history. They told me it was haunted when I first started and I personally haven't experienced it but that doesn't mean it isn't true. I get a very uneasy feeling when I go upstairs to get linens and such late at night. I try not to go up there. It is a fine dining restaurant complete with linens and water goblets on the table. I serve judges, lawyers, business men, and the occasional politician. It is very exciting at times and with the exception of some of my co-workers, I enjoy the job very much. I have never worked in a place where the standard tip is 20% and higher. I love the bail bondsman that comes in and tips me 50% and up. I love that $50 tip on a $100 check. I have had a hard time juggling school and work and kids and home but what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Well I am off to go clean the family room and kitchen. Dad is coming over tomorrow to help put some furniture together and I think Mom is coming over on Sunday to help me unpack or organize something. Did I mention we have a HUGE fenced in backyard?? I am tilling my veggie garden up next weekend if the weather is nice!! Yipee!!
