Instead

I have lots of things I want to blog about, but so many of them are very intense or at least detailed and when I sit down it is just too overwhelming. So instead of sharing I have decided to let them go or at least simmer until I really feel like sharing. But a few brief points

I would like to thank all my friends who helped me out during our current sick spell.

I am encouraged and discouraged by the progress of my yard. I have been able to do a lot during nap times and with the help of a young fella in my ward. Little projects are underway, but there is just SO MUCH TO DO it is overwhelming.

We have our renters paid up in full and re-signed for another year which is good cause there is NO WAY we could afford to sell the house this year.

Baby Spike is healthy and presumably happy set to come June 30th. I was given the option of the 30th or July 5th and decided to go before everyone left for the holiday. After our group sickness this weekend, Jeff and I are a bit terrified about how we are going to survive the delivery while taking care of the kids. I am sure we will get through it but it will be super tough.

Took Mae to the doctor for the 18 month checkup and she is 50% for height and 50% for weight, but I really hate the way they measure kids based on all the other kids. So if my kid is normal and all the kids in the US are obese what does that mean? Why can't they just tell me how my kid is doing and leave everyone else out of it.

Jeff's whole area at work has been rearranged and we are still waiting to learn how things will turn out. He is on a new team and will pretty much be the most senior person on the team, which will lead to excellent opportunities to lead, but also possibly more work. He doesn't have a new boss yet, so that is always a potential worry. He has always been the luckiest guy at Walmart ISD in regards to bosses and pager schedules, so being ever the pessimist I am nervous that his luck cannot last. Jeff, the optimist, is not worried at all. I am so lucky to have bagged such a happy positive guy. Sometimes I just want to point at him and laugh, "FOOLED YOU! You're stuck now, it would cost too much in child support to leave me." But that wouldn't be too nice so instead I just make sure he has plenty of time to play video games.
