Whew. It has been a full-on run since January 23rd when our house helper arrived. We have a few days' breather and then my parents are coming on Friday!!! So happy. So tired.
We just had all our air conditioners cleaned. That is a time consuming and dirty job and I don't even do the cleaning! We have a footprint on our wall left by the workers who pushed against the wall to try and hoist out the air conditioner. Lovely. It is smack in the middle of a very noticeable place.
We have been hosting an inordinate number of people who are traveling around our country or just passing through. After April 10th we have a totally empty schedule but it has been a very very busy Spring. I tell people that without our house helper I would be a crying lump on the floor. I'm SOOO grateful for how well she has fit in and just figured out how to work with our family and our many guests.
She does a little of everything for us and mostly keeps things moving so that I can spend time with the kids and/or house guests and other folks. What a huge blessing to take the pressure off.
We start our after-school program this coming Monday! We have four activities offered for the kids and there is quite a bit of interest so we are glad to provide something. Hopefully it will go fairly smoothly (=
Well I am getting tired and spacey....need to shut down for the night (=
