This has been a very crazy week. Our sitter is now gone.  She actually attempted to tell the agency that we were going to let her work the new hours she had selected. I let them debate the issues with them and told mom ahead of time that I wouldn't be answering my phone. (The sitter always calls from Mom's phone so I answer) This has made it a very stressful week.  But the good news is that we have another sitter starting on Monday. This one doesn't have any small children so we don't have to be concerned with their sitter arrangements which can really complicate this stuff.To make it even more complicated, our daughter was having diagnostic tests done to try and find out from where her pain is coming.  Our one son & family are moving and the other son is busy in military stuff this week & next.  Our good friend's husband was admitted into the hospital yesterday and last night her mother (way up in NY) died.  So, while the moment of peace is here, I will just watch our Emu playing tag with each other and the chickens.  They make me laugh so much.  Gonna head up there in a few minutes and play too.
