Hi, everyone! Sorry I have been MIA, but things are really topsy-turvy in my life, right now, and I'm not exactly a ray of sunshine!
For the most part, the kids are doing well. It's Leslie that we are really having issues with. Over the last year, she has had some OCD tics creep in, and they are really getting out of hand! It's scaring her, and she ends most nights in tears, because she doesn't understand why she is doing these things. We are in the process of finding her a therapist, but Alan's work has cut back on insurance (again), and it's difficult to find a good psychologist on our plan. Keep your fingers crossed that we can work it out soon!
Alan has, for all intents and purposes, finished his graduate school. Instead of taking 3 years, he has finished in 2! Hooray! He still has to finish his thesis documentary, defend it, and take his "comps" next fall. That means we won't see him much this summer! Still, it will be nice to get that degree, so he can start putting some feelers out for alternate employment!
As for me, I've joined a friend of mine in putting together a website, and that is taking up a ton of my time. More than it should, really, but when you are a computer idiot (like I am), things take longer than they should. Once the site is built, things will slow down, and I'll simply have to write some articles each month for her. The extra money will come in handy, I do have to say.
Other than that, we are looking forward to
Disneyland in a couple of weeks!!!
Debbie - I really hope that your foot gets better this time around! It's gone on too long.
Deb - I could say the same thing for you! This sickness has gone on for WAY TOO LONG!!! You mentioned that it might be Celiac. Have you tried cutting out wheat, etc? It might be a pain, but if it helps, it could be worth it! I hate that you are still sick!
Elin - Thanks for posting all that you do on Facebook! Sometimes, it's all I can do to check over there! I love the pictures that you post from your amazing dinners!!! Sure looks like you have some wonderful options! Jealous!!!
Ok, back to the grind! I've got a week's worth of laundry staring at me, and I still have more writing to do!
