Well, Jim told me last night that he might be getting a HUGE pay cut. Seems like the new builders of homes wants to keep the union guys for the installs but don't want to pay them the union wage. The want to pay them the way they paid the non union guys. I don't think that is fair. I look at the higher pay as a way to pay them back for all the special schooling they got to do what they do and do it well and right. The builders are tired of all the messups the non union guys have been doing so they want them out. What do you all think? Am I being silly on this?

bitter-sweet
Hello friends . . . this past weekend was full of things that are bitter and hard to swallow and then some really sweet things.
So lets start with the bitter to end on a good note. Well, found out that my high school sunday school teacher is ill and doesn't have much more time here on earth. Then he will join his Mother in heaven with this Lord. That in its self is bittersweet. You know who you are and if you read this I love you and will miss you and we will see each other again someday. I know that Jim will miss ya too. I know that he has enjoyed the time you have spent sharing stories during your duties at church on Sunday mornings. We love you!!!!!
Good notes, all of our butterflies have hatched and are out there somewhere and hopefully growing. All of the veggies that I have gotten are in the ground and I notices today that there are flower buds growing on them which means that soon we will be having some fresh veggies. We got 2 tomatoes, and a total of 6 bell pepper plants and 2 strawberries. I also got some tomato seeds that are planted but so far nothing from them yet. Maybe soon.
As far as Evey, things are going. I got the herbal meds that we are going to try today in the mail and she got her first does tonight before bed. She is not liking this at all. I have entered the councilor part of being a parent and so far its harder than I thought. So please pray that I help her feel better about her "new body" as she would put it. She got upset Sunday that her friends from the neighborhood were getting things from the ice cream truck that goes around town. I told her no due to the fact that I would have no way of knowing if any of the items are gluten free. It was hard for her to see her friends part taking in this and she is left on the side lines. I told her that maybe she got this so that maybe someday if she meets someone that is new to this maybe she is there to help them figure things out like we are doing now. She told me that she never thought of that. So maybe that calmed her down, or at least till next time.
Yesterday we patched some holes in the pool liner and we are starting to fill it up to get it up and running for the summer. So can not wait. What better than pool, a great tan and fresh fruits and veggies. Aj wants grapes so maybe next year. One may never know. Well I have to tuck in little ones and clean up from the day.
good night, love you all!

garden and more
Hello all. Well I am hopeing to get to play in dirt today. Jim and the kids took me shopping for some gardening stuff. I was able to get supplies to make a raised veggie garden. I also got some new potting soil for my 6 pots and the kids helped pick out flowers for them. I also got some flowers to plant in the front yard.
We know have all 10 cacoons now and we are waiting to see them hatch into beatuiful butterflys. Exciting!
Evey is doing better. We had a bit of a set back during Easter weekend. Not sure if the glaze from the ham or something in the Easter Basket had gluten in it but she broke out in the rash again. I am looking into getting that herbal med for her since heat flares it too. I want her to have a good and as much as possible itch free summer. I know that the masquitos will be out and might nibble on her but its kinda differant.
Both Aj and I tested negative for this. Which means that we both got a faulse negative or we truly don't have it. I am thinking that both Jim and I are carriers of it and since we both stirred the pot for the kids they have it and Aj's negative came out faulse due to him being on the gluten free diet at the time of the test. That would happen this way since there was no gluten in his system to cause a reaction therefore its a bad result. I hope that makes sence to ya.
Anyway to all you mommys have a wonderful Mothers Day and I hope your kids spoil you!!
