Jumping Rope

Two weeks ago the weather was beautiful. Now it is cold and grey! Katie said my depression gets worse in the winter months. I love this photo collage of Emily jumping rope. It makes me smile.

Went to Emily's parent/teacher conference last night. She is doing well. Mr. Karas thinks she is capable of getting A's with a little extra effort. He says she is very bright. She seems to be getting a little better at staying focused in class and getting her work done. I hope it stays like that!

Three Months Later........

Wow! I can't beleive it's been almost three months since I posted here. I've never been much of a writer.

Summer is over and fall has arrived, in fact it's flying by fast. The weather is already forecasting snow flurries (YUCK!) and the stores are filled with Christmas stuff (Bah Humbug!).

Emily celebrated her 9th Birthday on Septemer 1st!

Katie went to the Homecoming Formal with her new boyfriend Christian:
I did put up some fall decorations:

Our kitty Dior is getting so big:

Emily wanted to dress as something scary this year ~Here's a couple Halloween photos:

We still haven't sold the old house and the temporary renters will most likely be moving out at the end of this month. Money is tight and both Bill and I are stressed! Bill is working for his Mom on weekends and volunteering for extra things at work. Currently he's in Detroit doing extra inspections. He hopes to be back home Wed night. He even volunteered to go out to California to work on fire claims, but they must have had enough volunteers for now because they didn't contact him. I'm secretly glad because he would have been gone for the entire month of November, including Thanksgiving.

I applied for some higher paying jobs, but only had one interview and didn't get that job. It's getting frustrating! I've been somewhat depressed, but I'm trying hard not to be.
