some quiet

well, almost. It's been a really rocky, emotional week for me, and us. We are getting past it and moving on. J. has been working a lot of overtime lately, which is great for the travel plans in the looming future. We are still not sure what is going on with M. and our court date. It would be lovely to get some news about that this week, but I am not holding my breath. Today is J's first day off in seven days. That means we really have not seen him in seven days. He works at least a 10 hour, 20 min. shift. But with the OT it means even longer days. I did get a chance to get out of the house and go with a friend to a movie and treat. It was so nice to vent to someone who understands this stuff and has some valuable advice to share. Today we tried to sleep in, but S. and E. would not have it. They woke us up at 6 am. J. is now bowling with four of the kids, while S. plays with his toys and E. is resting. Love the peace!
