All good things must come to an end

Got your hopes up, right? No, still working with the refugee clinic and still have our nanny.

I was referring to my complaining. I hereby promise to do my best to no longer complain.

The clinic is getting organized and I am actually happy that I can still function in an environment that doesn't involve wearing snot or drool on one or both of my shoulders (tho I wish I had looked in the mirror afer our good bye hugs to have seen the snot on the shoulder as I left). I am actually pleased with the progress I(we)'ve made and am optimistic that this will be the best refugee clinic in the greater SD area. ( I think the competition is pretty slim- so the odds are in our favor)

The kids seem to be doing fine and seem to be reaping the mommy-left-them-for-the-day-guilt rewards- we spent yesterday together- no daytime business stuff- just the 3 olders and me in line at the pass and id office, at the smog check center and then we went to open swim at the pool(all of us) for the afternoon. So.. yes, they had to be away from me for 3 days and now I'm all the more aware of making every moment "count" while I am home. (yeah, I know- it's quality AND quantity- I'm working with what I've got) And I know waiting in line is not my idea of fun, but they think they're missing out on something good if they're not there. It's funny we humans seem to think there is something better out there that we are misisng out on and once we get there, it's not what we thought it was going to be.
