Schools out for summer!

YEAH! I am done! No longer will I be going in to substitute teach this school year. I was waiting to receive the phone call summoning me to work today....but I DIDN'T, yeah! It is officially starting to feel like the summer. Jonathan's been out for a couple weeks now, but I worked like a dog for the last 3, so it finally feels like vacation to me. AND... Josiah, my son, is finally potty trained. We still need to wear diapers at night, but I imagine that will be no longer soon too! YEAH! He has totally turned the corner since I was able to be home with him these last 4 days! NOW....vacation, vacation, vacation! Hope to go to Orlando this weekend to see my brother, can't wait! Am going to Ohio to see my sister in 2 weekends, can't wait! And then on to see my parents in Michigan, my brother-in-law and sister IL and new baby in Chicago, and then on to see the ILs in California! What a wonderful vacation!

craziness....yaaaaaah!

I swear, our lives have been so busy I have hardly had a chance to check my email and voice messages, let alone post on my blog. But...here it goes. This is my first day off in 3, and I go back to work tomorrow and then again M-Th.
Because childcare can get kinda limited, I traded with a friend this week, so therefore, I babysat her kids today(on my only day off). But hey, her kids are gone now, and mine are still napping. whew! That gives me somewhat of a break!
Well, the college year here at SWU is finally over, and so that means summer is here. I always look forward to this time because Jonathan has fewer distractions from us! The sad part is...some of our closest friends that are students are graduating and moving away. Exciting, but sad! This also leaves our basement apartment empty. For the added income, having someone in there is pretty much a necessity. Anyone know someone that needs a 1 bedroom apartment in Central, SC? Please keep this in your prayers. One more prayer request...I have a friend who has an 8 month old who is going through MAJOR depression right now, and she needs prayer!
