Can I hide in the shed???

I haven't posted lately because I'm not sure I wouldn't be just whining! Because that's all I'm hearing from my beloved oldest son. Whining, crying, screaming - you name it. Almost an hour this morning because he didn't want to change clothes. 30 minutes yesterday because he didn't want to take off his seat belt and then didn't want to put on his shoes. Kicking and screaming into his room to take a nap. On and on for the last few days. My last nerve is shot.
It is quiet right now with both of them sleeping so I'm trying to regain a bit of sanity.
Aaron should be home soon to change for an interview. He's wrapped up in his brain about what to do for a job next and $$ and all that stuff. I think enjoying what he does more days than not is more important than making a few extra dollars. I think he would agree but he's off of the rational boat at the moment and needs to get his head straight again. Pray for us please!
At least I have bulbs starting to come up in my garden and that makes me very happy and hopeful for spring! I'm hanging on where I can!
Thank you my friends!

Insurance Schminsurance!!!

Bleh! I do not like trying to get individual insurance. Everything's fine talking to the rep until - oh, your husband has sleep apnia? And he's how tall, and weighs how much? ooooh, that's not so good, we can't insure him. but you can call this state agency and they'll take him.
bleh. i guess at least there is somewhere that will insure us all and for cheaper than cobra but this is really a pain!
I think I need to go knit for a while!

Being sick sucks

But thank God for husbands!
So today I think I just might live. I had a cough all weekend which all of a sudden blew into a huge head cold on Sunday. Yesterday my sweet little boy spent the whole day watching tv while I fed Katie and slept off and on. Then Aaron came home from his first day being an electrician for his dad and took care of us all. What a relief!

birthday...

Sorry! to clarify - my birthday isn't until 2/20 - I just have figured out that I can get my own present at this creative festival and Aaron's life is easier and I get what I really like. It is less of a surprise on the day but it works for us! and this year my mom said I could find a present from her there too!
Anyway, we're off to the wildlife experience with the kids today, Andrew is very excited that Daddy is home so we're treasuring a day off. (looking for the blessings in this!!)
