...still breathing..

turns out i really relied on that work pc (rolling eyes innocently)! still no pc at home, so still no pics and now no camera either! boohoo. i left my camera out in what i thought was warm enough weather at camp Wishon, just above Porterville. however, i awoke to discover the digital screen is now just a black screen with a 'crack' in it. the camera itself still works so i suppose i could use it as a good ol' fashioned point n shoot, but c'mon now! needless to say though, just another kink in our chain to remind us what life in our early 20's was like! HA.

not to worry though- life is curiously enough working itself out for us. i've been enjoying, for the most part, life as a stay at home mom. some days we stay in jammies all day, some days we run errands (events which are often severely disabling with a cooper in tow (yes, i said a cooper=)), actually grocery shopping for meals vs. drive thru stops and some days we head to the big soccer/park complex for the boys to play in the interactive water fountain... while i sit and watch and soak up the domestication from the other moms!

in other positive news, craig acceped a new job as an assistant warehouse manager and will start in just over a week. not only does the new job bring new responsibilities (asst. mgr baby!! haha), but a nice pay raise as well. well timed i say!

and i'm still waiting for a clear picture of my plan. i'm waiting to hear if i'm approved for some Workforce Investment Act money to complete the Social Services certificate program at COS as well as applied for financial aid. dealing with the government takes time ya know! =) i've mapped out an academic plan though and can finish this certificate program in 12 mos. minus the intern hours required. so if all goes well, i'll take 15 units this semester and 12 in the spring. of course being home with cooper full time will be a challenge, but with craig's full support, i'm really feeling confident that i can make this time worth while!
