Stick to the structure
Everything seemed to work fairly well today people got to friend’s house, everyone (who want such) got to school on time and the house was calm when I got home. Stephanie didn’t seem overwhelmed and she got here and right to work first thing in the morning. Laura learned a valuable lesson too. She are…

Transition
I stayed home for the morning to get kids out the door and after seeing the laundry room get trashed by someone looking for clothes I declared that the younger kids no longer get to pick out their own clothes nor can they choose what they wear. When I got to work I ended up…

Settling in
I missed a day yesterday so let me catch up on the goings on of Sunday. Toward the end of a chaotic Sunday morning I lost my temper and hit Isaac so he left before church started. I figured he would make his way to church eventually just to get out of the rain. Instead…

Moving day
Today we got Laura moved into the new apartment behind the Jr High. After moving one load in she locked the car key inside the car at Mom’s house and we had to call a locksmith – for nearly $200. It’s obviously (past) time to get a second key. I went with Alyssa, Mariah, and…

Laura found herself entangled in a series of concerns with the kids over the course of the day. She should have broken away to take care of herself but she just pushed herself. She concluded that we needed to move on from Chandler soon. Savannah also voiced her frustrations with Chandler. With Chandler off tomorrow…

Who did sin?
Laura came to church today. I brought her up without telling the kids and she sat separately in sacrament meeting (so as not to be overwhelmed by clamoring kids). After church I took her back down and later Emma and Isaac each got visits with her. In the evening I talked to her to share…

Forward Ho
Work was a bit hectic today as I had a couple of calls that needed to be handled. After I got home I had another one. I didn’t manage a nice, quiet on-call week. It hasn’t been too bad though. Laura had lunch with Julie Smith and Julie is considering letting Laura stay in her…
