today was the first day of my dayhome.... i mean i usually have extra kids here, but today was the first day for my new family that will be with me until next fall. (meaning fall 2007) it went well. i was busy, didn't really get a break at all, but it was ok. we did every activity we could possibly think of, except going outside. it was way too windy today for that. the girl is hallie's age, the boy is 14 months. yes, busy. the only way to describe it really was busy!
tomorrow i have 3 extra girls coming, the new family is only coming tues & thurs for june. then tues, wed, thurs from july onward.
we finally got our new house plans from the builder. they aren't what i wanted, but might have to do. he told us they are the FINAL plans. i'm a bit angry but i feel we are stuck between and rock and a hard place, so to speak. the house size went down by 100 sq. feet instead of up by 100 sq. feet. weird. not impressed. also the main floor has a bathroom style that i don't like. the bedrooms upstairs are smaller than planned. the front door has ugly glass in it. i am going to talk to the builder friday morning but i'm a bit worried that nothing can be changed :( our "custom" home is no longer custom. that really really sux.
tonight at supper, it was one of those nights where i wish i had more hands. emerson was crying in her highchair, i was trying to get the kids' food cut up so they could eat, dh was in the shower... anyway i got my big helper hallie to feed emerson... by spoon for the first time. it was quite messy, not sure how much actually went into emmy's mouth, but it was such a help and emerson didn't seem to mind. my big girl hallie is growing up -- she is so helpful when i need her to be!!
well, off to bed. tomorrow is going to be a busy day!

You are nuts! I wish I had the patience to do a dayhome again but I don't think I could do it.
sounds like you had a busy day. isn't it great to have a "helper"?
that really sucks about your house, i hope they can change some of the things you don't like. when are you supposed to be in your new house?
Awwww, what a sweet picture.
Tasha - a house is a MAJOR invetsment - DEMAND what you want!!! You're Canadian!!! Canadians are great at demanding what they want!!!! ;) jk but you really need to tell them how you are feeling about this house and get what you want! Those plans are NOT final until YOU say they are!!!!
Like Miranda, I think you are nuts re the dayhome lol but I think you will be great at it...I just can't cope with 'other peoples kids' day in and day out lol!
Well done Hallie!!!! It's such a help to have the older siblings there to lend a hand!!!
