Update

Adjusting to a family of four has been chaotic. I know I talk about my dogs as though they are kids, but sometimes I feel that they are just as much work. I do feel lucky though not having to change diapers or get up in the middle of the night :) Riley is so cute but so crazy. It feels like a zoo in here sometimes because he has to be the center of attention and will do whatever it takes to get that attention...then I try to not leave Corky out and Riley bumps him out of the way while I'm petting Corky...and it goes on and on.

As most of you know, Ben was informed of a 2% pay cut last week. That's a significant amount of money for us during these tough times. I recognize that it's better than getting laid off but it still sucks. On the plus side, I still have a job. For a while, I wasn't sure what I was going to do or if I would still be employed as our census has decreased dramatically. The schools are implementing new programs to keep kids from having to attend treatment centers unless they really need to. While that can be a good thing for kids and their families, it has been concerning for us. I have faith that things will work out as they should, it's just the waiting that is hard.

I haven't really been feeling like myself lately, hence minimal blogs. However, I think this about covers the 411 in our world.
