State of Things

Haven't heard back from the doctor, but we started the diet anyway. Gillian seems to be feeling a little better, not great, but better. A little more energy, but she's sick again, so that makes it harder. It's amazing what your body does when it's not happy :)

Heading out to Seattle for a conference for the rest of the week, should be very cool. I'm feeling good about my status in the company, I'm still loving my job after a year so far, the commute still sucks, but I'm used to it by now and Audio books are my friend.

The kids are having their tryouts for next years teams next week, so they are getting ready for that. The gym has a thing called the All Star Challenge that they are involved in. It's mostly just a program to keep the kids in better shape over the summer so they're not having to start over in the fall. For the price, it's totally worth it. So they'll spend most of their time at the pool, and walk to the gym 4 days a week for several hours a day. Plus their teams will be assigned in the end of May, so we'll know which ones they'll be on so we can schedule things.

We're praying that their practices are on the same weekend day. This year sucked having one on Sat, and one on Sun. Plus we're going to tag the hell out of the summer (ever see a kid with a can asking for change to support his group? that's tagging) so the money goes directly into their account and pays for tournaments and training and stuff. Begging? yeah, but we can't do the season without it.

Fae's working with a friend as a personal assistant which is helping with the bills tremendously!! She's also gearing up to be a Brownie troop leader for Gillian's school. It's amazing the things we'll do for our kids. Luckily, the cast is pretty much off her leg, so she's getting around a lot better. That thing was a serious pain in the a**.

Anyway, hope this finds everyone who reads it well and happy.
