Grandparents

Grammie and Grampa are gone. I miss them. I like them. They are so kind and funny and wise. They are corky too, but that completes their personality. It has been a hectic week, with lots of talking, lots to do and a very busy daily schedule. I glided through the week, and I let things go through me rather than carry all kind of burdens and worries. Mom felt a lot more responsible to make their stay a memorable fun one. And she did a wonderful job, except she stretched herself a little to thin.
Anyway, today I mailed Oma and Opa from New York a DVD I made with Caleb's first year of life. A 15 minutes complex movie and a slideshow. I hope they like it.
Dad was so sweet with his kind words to me this week. He thanked me for the way I serve everybody around with my gifts and kindness. And he said he loves having us around. That was so kind of him to say. We don't really have a choice right now bout our housing situation. Our budget is too tight and we are still transitioning back to a normal independent life.
I started using my computer and creative skills a lot more now. I invent little projects and now dad came home with a project from work that may transform into paid creative project. In the mean time, I still apply for jobs, and I hope that my application for a bank job at chase will come through. Conrad is slowly making progress in his business of graphic and web design.
It's a new week, I started the pot roast in the crock pot, and tonight we'll be babysitting Caleb.
Living in the present and yet working hard for a better future. It's quite a challenge to do this sometimes.
