Resurrecting summer

Yesterday I went running in shorts. Outside. In Detroit. At the end of November! The kids loved it. I loved it. It felt like heaven!


We are coming off over a month of being sick. Squeak brought a severe cough/sore throat home from school. She shared that with most of us. I kept her home for a few weeks and sent her back for two days. Then she brought home pink eye. She also shared that with us. And a cold. As a result of the chest/nasal congestion, we all got ear infections (me too!)--except for D. He has not been sick at all. I've been doing these great affirmations for him during hypnosis--along the lines of, "Your body is strong and resistant to disease." This is the guy who used to catch everything. Well, not anymore! It was the least I could do to repay him for the fantastic hypnosis he did for all three of our babies' births. If you have not tried hypnosis before, you should. We are believers over here at our house!


I've started a "Moving Dos and Don'ts" post in my head. I would love to finish it, but I can't until our move is over. And we are still in limbo. During the moments when I feel really frustrated, I have to keep reminding myself that although this is hard, there are many, many challenges that would be more difficult, so chin up!! We had to go to court for the eviction hearing. The attorney for the bank was really nice and actually was kind of on our side, and the judge ended up ruling to postpone the hearing for 90 days. Then they dismissed the case because we are trying to buy this house. The seller's agent for the bank is a thorn in our side (if we could cut him out of the picture, things would be so easy!), but everyone else has been very helpful. We are hoping to have some stability soon!
