Same 'ole, Same 'ole

















Happy Valentines Day! I received two dozen fancy red roses on Friday, and had a lovely dinner at a fancy restaurant tonight. It has been a good weekend. It helps that I didn't have to work at all and Theron took off on Saturday! We hardly ever get a day off together, so it was nice!

Our sunbeams are doing great! We had a breakthrough today... no one cried when their parents left them. A major improvement! I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to work out! I still have one child who steps into primary and instantly bawls, so mom has to instantly carry him off. Someday he will come to class!

Work is the same for the both of us. My kids don't talk so I don't have any silly antics to report and they don't go to school, so there is no drama to report. All they do is eat, sleep, bring in mud from the backyard, an occasional hairball, and the occasional trash can raid... I know, my life is exciting...

Theron has taken on a new project. I more or less volunteered him, but he was happy to do it. My receptionist at work is having a tough time with her youngest, the 12 year old. She is divorced from an alcoholic who is off again, on again... always in between jobs, so he doesn't always pay, etc. Anyhow, Matt is having a ton of trouble in his math class and she has no clue how to help him. She doesn't have any money to pay for a tutor. So, I volunteered Theron , knowing how good he is at math. And I also told Theron not to take any money from her. So it's our little service project. They had their first session last Wednesday, and he'll be going over their every Monday. Matt seems to respond well to Theron and seems to like him. We will see how things go in a couple of weeks.

I think that is all there is to update... I keep this updated in case something else happens!
