this week

well, we are finally settling in now!
i hired a house helper. she is wonderful- she is coming three days a week for a few hours so i can catch up on paperwork, and go to appointments and run various errands. i spent so many years BEING the household help, it is really fun to have the roles reversed. Also, since i have so been there i have a very fair set of expectations and feel like my house is a good job to have ..lol
she actually told me my kids are well behaved. ROFL... i told her, "just wait till they warm up to you !"
but really they are sweet kids, but if they were perfect i wouldn't need the help!!

UPDATE

the house is relatively sane right now, so i thought i would post an update-
i know we havnt posted any picts, BUT the construction is still not totally done, and everything is messy and i want to SHOW OFF my new house lol!!
We have turned in our paperwork to do the foster to adoption. next step is "PRIDE" training - fun fun- then onto the homestudy. I am getting very excited dreaming about what our foster daughter will be like... will she be a little , or a very little >? what will she look like? Will she like us?
it's like being pregnant!
Did i mention i love my kids?
I am so happy to have Tristan back in the house (he was in PA for 2 weeks). He is really blossoming into a well behaved , sweet boy. Man, were those toddler years tough with him!

Completely asleep baby! LOL
