What A Few Weeks...

Some big changes have come about in the last few weeks, at least for me they have been big. For starters, I got a hearing aid. Ya, I have been rather repulsed by the idea of getting one until recently. I got curious of what I was missing out on. I was the kid that failed every hearing test in school, but didn't think it was bad enough to be the dork with the hearing aid. Now that I am a little older, and hopefully more mature, I don't view it as being anything worse than someone with glasses! The hearing doctor was shocked that I did well in school and was never held back. I feel I have done just fine with what I was given, but now knowing what I had been missing out on I realize what she was talking about. It has been a hard few weeks adjusting to the REALLY LOUD noises. However, I am now feeling that I don't notice it in most of the time, which means my brain is accepting the new sounds it has never heard before:)
The second new development, is working. I rather hate it right now, so I need to adjust my attitude. I am working at a Care Center again because that was about all I could get with my limited working experience. It will be a fight to keep my license, so for now I am just going to take it a shift at a time. I work nights so I can stay home with my kids as much as possible. It is exhausting but the only way! I trained two weekends ago and poor Dan was single parent all weekend. He did great considering he had a nursing baby! He is super husband, really. I could not ask for a more hard working and supportive guy. He always has his head on straight and keeps me in link:) So wish me luck and my family luck on this new adventure!

Had to add in my two year olds art work on the wall. When it gets quiet, you better check on him:) This was actually really weird because he usually shows me before he is about to do anything this naughty!

I don't even notice your hearing aid ;) I am very glad you're not missing out on sounds anymore.
Levi is a little stink for doing that ;) good thing you got it off! ha And SERIOUSLY on the 'check on them when they're quiet' cause they could be eating toilet paper, or licking their finger and sticking it into the baby formula. haha yeah sick! :) Love having you so close
oh and by the way, every night when I ask Camryn what her favorite thing that she did that day was she ALWAYS replies, "play with Levi" :) Whether it's "ride bikes with Levi", "play at the park with Levi", or just "played with Levi", my daughter loves your son :)
