First, David was able to order a new hard drive for my laptop and get it running again. I don't know how he does it, between working, taking 2 online college courses, helping me with the kids, and studying for the CMA...seriously...he's amazing. So my dumb Dell is on it's THIRD (yes..3rd!) hard drive. We'll see how long it lasts.
Secondly...
DAVID GOT A JOB! PRAISE GOD!
David has been working for a financial consulting/headhunter company for 3 weeks now. It's a pay cut from his previous job, but the upward mobility in this company is excellent. His hours are not as strenuous as his last job, so he can keep taking classes towards his CPA. And...the first client they put him with is only 10-5 minutes from the house. Now that will only be temporary, but since David's had at least a 45 minute commute since we were married 15 years ago, I'll take it!
Thank you Lord...thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you to our family and friends who held us and lifted us up in prayer. I'll never be able to tell you how grateful we are to have so many people who love us. :-)
Other than that...life is going along as usual. I took Joshua to the dentist today. His x-rays showed he only has 3 wisdom teeth. And...he had 3 tiny cavities. We always knew Joshua was the most unique among our kids. Besides that little quirk, he STILL has 8 baby teeth we are waiting on. Get this...he's 14. Yes...14. With 8 baby teeth still hanging on. Sheesh kid! I only hope he doesn't have to get the wisdom teeth removed until he's well into adulthood. He will need a lot of work with braces to align his jaws and straighten his teeth. I'm thinking he can pay to get his wisdom teeth taken out himself, right? ;-)
Theresa's has some medical issues of her own. She got an ear infection 2 weeks ago. It took some phone calls and frantic paperwork to get a referral for an ENT in Conroe. The tube in her right ear is already out (she had surgery back in March) and the left one is "on it's way out." Sigh....
So we are on meds, and go back in next week for a recheck. If the infection hasn't cleared up, we are likely looking at a second set of tubes. Boo hoo. Poor girl! She did fine during her first surgery, but boy...she didn't wake up well from the anesthesia at all. The only good thing about being on CHIPS...they'll probably cover nearly the entire cost of the surgery. We paid nearly $1600 out of pocket (after billing private insurance) for her first set of tubes. I was in disbelief that putting a child under for barely 15 minutes would cost than much. Oh well. Have to appreciate the silver lining in the clouds!
Okay, that's it for now. I really hope to start posting recipes on my cooking blog again. It will really be a challenge between homeschooling and working 2 days a week now. But maybe I can squeeze in a few before the end of the year.
Back to the laundry, dishes, and the dust bunnies!
