Mark got the job!
Mark got the job at TLC Ambulance! First interview, and a job offer on the spot. Heavenly Father has blessed us so much these last few months and now to top it off, a job with better pay and better benefits than Rural Metro. Mark is happy, but cautious. He worked there years ago, when Fiona was born and it wasn't the right fit then. But, Mark has grown up and I think that working here in town will be better for him in the long run. The two greatest things about this job are that he can walk to work, and HE DOESN'T NEED TO WEAR A BULLET-PROOF VEST TO WORK! In my mind, as the mother of his children, this is the best part. I don't have to worry about the gang violence and the murders like in Syracuse. He will still have to see crappy stuff, ie child abuse, but he will be safer in the long run. Yipee!!!!!!!!!

Life always seems to get in the way
It has been an incredible 6 months! Christmas was awesome as it always is. Lots of love and family. Even my Aunt Mary and Uncle Dan were here from Illinois!
January was a bit of a bummer. Mark got into an accident with his ambulance and they fired him. The accident was not his fault. He was going to a call with lights and sirens and some idiot T-boned him. He has not found a new job yet, but has an interview this week. :)
The upside is that Mark has reorganized this house top to bottom. He keeps me constantly worried about some mess the kids have made or that there are dirty dishes in the sink. Gotta love a husband with mild OCD.
Spring came and it was so hot that I decided to start the garden a wee bit early. According to the U.S. government, we are now zone 6 for planting due to global warming. It is sheer baloney as we had frost on June 1st! I lost my squash, zucchini, green lettuce and some tomato plants. I think I should sue Al Gore, but I won't. He needs the money to pay his electric bill.
Fiona graduates from kindergarten on Thursday. I just cannot believe she is no longer a little baby anymore. Of course, she is becoming a young woman I love even more everyday. She has been writing books on a variety of topics and does a great job!
Brigid has become the funniest skinny chick I know. First off, she has developed a habit of shaking her fist at people when she angry and asking them if they want a knuckle sandwich! She never has followed through with her threats and actually most of the time does it to make someone laugh. In her housework abilities, she has moved on to washing dishes. She is amazing at them!
I am busy as ever mainly trying to keep Brigid from digging up my plants and housework. That's life I guess!
