Bill is finally back to work full time - and we hope the trend continues. In the past, he may have had a day or two off here and there, put unfortunately he was off for 3 weeks. With that in mind, my afternoon job isn't look very stable at this time either. Offices have been closing, reduction in staff continues on a weekly basis, and our new computer system is scheduled to begin in May, which will eliminate most of my responsibilites. YIKES!! After 27 years with the company, I have mixed emotions about leaving. I'm hoping if it comes down to leaving, I can go full time to the school to qualify for the health insurance.
Health insurance is a big issue, as over the past couple months we've had a few urgent care visits and can only imagine the out of pocket cost! Currently, the doctor believes I have pinched nerves in both feet and may need several more visits to help relieve the pain. I'm just getting over bronchitis, Bill had to go to the doctor because an infection was going through his body making it difficult to move his arm. Ryan had to go do to some personal issues, and after falling in the parking lot of work, the numerous X-Rays of my skull that followed sure would have been a HUGE expense.

Ryan turned 14 - believe it or not! (All of the sudden his pants are WAY TO SHORT!!)
Here is our new washer and dryer - the older ones we getting way too noisy and couldn't stand listening to them anymore: nothing fancy - just plain white Whirlpools!
AND FINALLY - my new car. Of course, a GRAND PRIX. My fourth in a row - It's a year old and hope to have good luck with it!!! We were putting way too much money into the silver one.
Sure hope to update again really soon - keeping up the school blogs and slide shows seems to take priority of my personal blog!
