I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. What a month we've had. Madison had the stomach flu, I ended up with the stomach flu, Madison, JR, and Colin have all had colds, Madison and Colin have both had ear infections which ended us up at Primary Health last night; just Mommy and two screaming kids. Thank goodness Aunt Mic was just getting off of work to help rescue Mommy before she started crying!!!!
We also thought we would be moving to Coeur d'Alene the beginning of March. JR applied for a position at LifeFlight as a flight medic at the new base in Sandpoint and he got the job, but JR and Lifeflight were unable to agree on pay so we had to turn the job down. It makes me so sad because I want nothing more than to move back to CDA, but I have to believe it will happen when it's meant to be. Right now JR will stay working for Lifeflight here and hopefully get on as a flight medic so that he can transfer to Sandpoint in the near future.
The third thing is that we have completely gutted our master bathroom. We noticed a leak and so we decided now is as good of a time to remodel our master bathroom. We are going on three weeks that we have been down to one bathroom!!!!
I enrolled Madison in preschool at the Challenger school for the fall. She is doing great. We are working on the whining and also no longer feeding her her food, but her being a big girl and feeding herself. Colin is smiling and cooing. He has been sleeping in our room in his cradle and tonight will be the first night that we are trying to get him to sleep in his room. I hope it goes well.

I feel like Aspen, Demon, and the house are completely neglected. Right now it is all I can do just to stay up on the laundry and with that I still have clothes that sit in the basket for about a week before I get it put up. I enjoy my job, but it's hard because I don't have time for anything else. I don't know if it's just me or mother's guilt, but I just wish I could do it all, but there is no possible way to do it unless I didn't sleep at night and that's not a possibility. To add to my guilt, Madison now asks me multiple times a day if I still love her....
