Thankful...

Back in the swing of things again...Laura greeted her residents yesterday and is happy things are finally underway at Mines. Amy is counting down the days till she goes to J & W (less than 2 weeks,) and we're spreading her things out and getting them ready to pack up. And Bethany just finished her third week of school and is busier than ever, which she loves. She picked up another volunteer job at the CSFD headquarters on Friday afternoons working in the office. Add to that 6 hours on Saturdays at the hospital and our girl is getting about 9 hours of volunteer time a week! Brian is getting ready for a quick trip to Ohio followed about 36 hours later with a trip to Maui. And me? It's a full-time job just keeping it all straight. I'm the keeper of the calendar, the baker, the taxi driver, the packer, etc. I often wonder how women who work outside the home are able to do it all. I'm thankful for a husband who supports me in staying home. And I realize how blessed we are that we have a roof over our heads and food on the table when so many people are struggling to make it in this crazy economy.
