in the homestretch

OK, Monday morning, and we're one day closer to The Return of the Mom!

Kim's been out of town since last Tuesday, and we've been pretty good for the most part. She left us pretty well set for food, and I had a "paint-by-the-numbers" schedule to follow for the kids each day. Nobody missed a drama class or went to school without food or clothes, although their were a few close calls!

The kids have been great, and we've gotten some huge help from some of our friends. Actually, some of our closest friends are more like family. We've tossed around the idea of adding a room onto the house for Delma!

I think that we've hit on a couple of the pieces to the life-puzzle: have a good plan, and find a support system to help...

All that said, we're ready for Kim to come home!
