Don't Worry

I think Owen is a prophet through song. I already wrote about his "He's got the Whole World.." incident with my mom. Well, over the past few weeks I've been stressing a bit about finding some kind of work. One particularly bad day, Owen just started busting out, "Don't worry..about a thing. Cause every little thing gonna' be alright." He hadn't heard that song in over a month! Prophet or not, it spoke to my heart, brought a smile to my face, and did make things a lot brighter.
Carly is moving all over the place,, and is pulling herself up. She and Owen can rough and tumble a little bit more these days, which Owen enjoys. Although it isn't uncommon to hear me say (exasperated), "Owen, get off your sister!"

I've really been thankful to be at home, although it has been a huge adjustment. Now that I've got some wheels it has been so much better already. I was starting to go stir-crazy, and being in the house all day combined with not knowing how I'm going to add to the family income was getting me down.
The van is exactly what I prayed for--it's cheap and it runs. Passing the emissions test is another story though. "There's an emissions test? Oh, we'll get to that right away."
I'm not sure how regularly I'll be able to keep this up, because when I'm on the computer I definitely neglect my mothering duties. I will try to keep adding updated pics and good stories to share. Speaking of stories, the book club I'm in just finished reading, "Riding the Bus with My Sister," by Rachel Simon. It is an uplifting and enriching read. There is a movie of it that Rosie O'Donnell stars in, but I haven't seen it yet. Our next book is "Snowflower and the Secret Fan," by Lisa See.
