This week went pretty well for me except I forgot my camera cable (or card reader) to pull the pics I took off my camera so I could do a bit more work while I was actually there. My contract is writing process instructions so I was taking lots of pics to show with the steps the operators will perform.

Merrie called me Tues morning - Sydney had lice, another first for our family. She had to stay home with him and wash everything. At least that was one way to get him to cut his hair! Now if only we could convince Stephan of that.... So this week was more stressful on Merrie than it should have been with me gone, but she handled it well. Raisin hasn't been too rough on her, but I don't think she'll ever be comfortable. I think she said she achieved that once so far. We are 22 weeks now.

They have hired someone for her job that starts May 22 or so. Merrie will orient her for a month at least and then may quit then. I'd prefer she stay as long as possible (unless I get this DADC job) in some type of capacity (even part-time) to build up as big a cushion as possible. At least she can see the light at the end of the tunnel better now.

I should hear something more from DADC in a week or two. I want to get this uncertainty over with! I've been holding up several things until I know what my situation is.

This week we get to finish cleaning out our house for the church garage sale (or Ebay). We will have LOTS of items. I think we had done pretty well the past couple years about not having too much "stuff" around our house, but I've gotten much more discerning after my Katrina relief work.
