big news and small stuff

Abby lost her first tooth today!!!The girl just turned 5 in February. That's just not right. It's also not right that I'm about to have a 2nd grader, a kindergartener and a 3 year old. Too much.

On to the small stuff (although some of it isn't small to me)...
*pray that the Lord opens the door for Andy to the job he is meant to have. I think we are handling it fairly well, and we are beyond thankful for our amazing families but a job would be an answered prayer and a huge burden lifted from many lives.
*pray for us as we continue to figure out the best solution for Jake's behavior.
*I am in the midst of trying to regulate my thyroid and I am hoping for the right balance of meds soon. I am determined to lose the weight I need to so that I can be healthy and happy again. It won't be easy with our on the go life right now but I have reached rock bottom.
*I have decided that I am going to move from First grade to Kindergarten next year. I am very excited about it...I think it will be exactly the change I need to rediscover my love of teaching (or it will reinforce my drinking habits - one or the other). I am leaving an amazing team that I love dearly. Three of us have been together for 8 years and Jen joined us for 7 of those years so it will be a difficult transition for me. But I know it's the right choice for me. Pray for me when those babies show up on the first day next year!

Ok...enough for tonight.
