February Update

So the newest stuff that is happening is:

We are trying to potty train Evan, again. We figure if we want him to start preschool in the fall he needs to be potty trained. We bought him new 'big boy' underwear and are trying the sticker chart again.
The reason we want him to start preschool is 1- we think he's ready early, he is so smart! 2- he would be in with his cousins. 3- I started early too.
Lately I have been home with him and working with him and his cousin Parker when he comes over.

Over Valentine's day dinner, Wes and I had a long discussion on adopting again or not. We've decided that Evan is our miracle boy and that we want to give him everything we can...and not spend it on another adoption. Yes, we've decided not to adopt again, it's just too much money and Evan is such a blessing, We wouldn't want to risk his happiness and ours.

Another update is that we really want to get out of the city!!!! We have thought about a quick sale/short sale and then save for a land contract deal... With me not having a job I am not sure we would get a good loan. We are looking in the northwest area, of course, but so is everyone else. We really like this house on the corner of Benn and Dearing, but we've told some friends and family that and now they want it too, so I guess it's first come first serve, huh?!

Next I would have to say that I am on a major decluttering rampage with getting rid of all my baby stuff and everything else I don't use! I want to clean everything all the time and reorganize!! DO you think I have OCD?? Just joking, I think its more of a home all the time thing...

On the job front I have had multiple interviews but either I am too qualified or not enough experience. Make up your mind would ya!! I figured I am making the same amount on unemployment that I would if I was working (daycare,gas,etc) but still it is frustrating that I have a degree (and spent all that money on school) and nothing to show for it!!

I have thought many times on becoming more 'green' but that means changing alot for Wes and Evan too. It's hard to change for men!!!!!

Wes celebrated his 32nd birthday this month and purchased some new ice fishing gear (his new hobby) and got to go out on the ice a couple times with Brad. He seems to enjoy it (freezing my ass off and staring at a hole- no thanks!).

Sabbath is still doing well on his pain pills, for those who don't know he has multiple tumors throughout his body. Ozzie of course is wild and crazy like a puppy still. And we only had to flush one fish in the last 2 years!
