ramblings...

so the basement is almost done. the electrical is done, the framing is done, the drywall is done.... we were not planning to mud/tape/paint however we are now considering it. it would have to be done FAST like this week and it would have to be affordable. so we'll see. carpet is being put in either friday or monday....

i am having a dilemma with my dayhome.... now that we have moved, i have to walk the before & after school child to the bus in the morning. this REALLY REALLY sux. i have been packing up 5 kids, most in pj's and driving down the street to the bus stop. it's not working. before, a neighbor walked him but now we aren't close to them. i'm really hating it. when it's nicer, we can walk but even then it's just a pain!! the after school part is fine because i pick him up. it's not a big deal as i'm usually out picking up my own kids from school. sooooooooo financially i don't "need" him and i could let him go... however i know they are counting on me and i just hate giving families notice. i am stuck on what i should do. any advice???? should i cut out some stress and just give notice? or suck it up and work until the end of the school year, and then give notice. i don't think i can keep him for the summer. i have 2 new kids starting in the summer and they will require walking the bus too next fall, however i will have to be up and have the kids dressed anyway as they will be going mornings next year. aaaaaahhhhh help!????

blah!
