Stroke of Luck

Yesterday when I got the junk mail out of the mail box, I just set it down on top of the trash I was about to take out. I happen to glace at it, and saw an ad for Childcare. so I fished out the ad, and took the rest of the trash out. The ad said there is a new child care place opening really close to BART and they have extended hours, and only charge $8/hour. So I e-mailed them to make sure Westley would be a good fit, and if the hours that I'm going to work (It's looking like mondays mornings from 8-11 or so, wednesdays all day and Fridays all day) are ok with them. they are totally fine with it. And he doesn't have to be potty trained. they said they would help him, and urge him to go, but if he was still in diapers it's no problem.
Who knew that you could find important stuff in the junk mail. I guess I'll have to start looking through it more often.

and just because, here's some pictures of the kids.

Reaching out

I was just wondering what all my brothers and Sister-in-laws were up to, when I thought how bad it is that they never call. Of course I never call either, so I guess I'm part of the problem. So I settle for reading my family's blogs and getting all my news from Mom (Who I'm not ashamed to say I still call quite often). She gives me the report of everyone whos called her, so that's good enough for me. But then I thought, If my brothers and sister-in-laws are trying to read my blog to see whats up, they be pretty disappointed, because I hardly ever post. So I am going to do my best to Start posting every week, so that my family can know what's up with me. I still recommend calling Mom every week tho.
Anyways, right now we are in the lull of summer. Lindsey and Westley both finished there swimming classes (Lindsey moved up a level and isn't afraid of the low dive anymore. I'm so proud of her.) This weekend Lindsey is going camping with the girlscouts, on her first overnight. She is really excited. Westley thinks he is ready for a bike. Everytime we go outside, he trys crawling up on Lindsey's bike. I would show you pictures of this stuff, but I left my camera at mom and dad's when we were up for the forth of july. So right now, we don't have much going on. I'm trying to prepare my lessons for Nest year.
At this moment unless the superintendent decides he doesn't like me, I will be teaching K-2 grade music at Buena Vista Elementry. I'm very excited. I have a lot of ideas, and I'm working hard on trying to make most of them work. I'm really nervous, but I have a lot of support and I think it will all work out.
so that's the news as of right now. I gotta go and try to get my kids to bed.
