I caught Sofie's cold. Here I was thanking the stars above I never got "really" sick with that stomach bug that hit the kids last week other than one nasty day and a few other days were I felt a little tired. Last night I began sniffing. This morning I am a leaky faucet and so very sleepy. I was feeling pretty good yesterday morning though. Which is a good thing since I just got a job cleaning two houses that are being rented by FEMA loggers while they are out here on the island. Cleaning up after all those men though isn't exactly easy. They leave for the weekends so I was at one house for about four hours yesterday which wasn't too bad. I was there while Sofie was at school on Friday for 2 hours just doing dishes and cleaning counter tops. Seriously. It will help me get through the winter though. I am not babysitting for a while. Lobster season is over for the mom I work for and she is training now for another job so until she is done with that I am out of work too. Luckily when I do babysit again I can still do the cleaning while the kids are at school so I don't have to pick jobs.

I'm so sorry you have caught the cold - usually my daughter comes home for Christmas with what we call "the Christmas cold." I just push chicken noodle soup until she gets better. She had the sniffles last night on the phone so she's right on schedule, too.
I visit here often and wish you the very best. You'd think at my age, I'd be able to share some insightful comments - I do think you're doing a great job and coping very well. My husband's family is from Wells and they were always dependent on the weather and the tourists - Maine is so beautiful, but I know it can be tough, too. I just think you are an amazing young woman and a terrific mom.
I hope your court date goes well and that you feel better fast. I know you are pushing yourself - take care of you, too! You are in my thoughts.

I couldn't let Christmas Eve pass without a visit. I hope your court date went well on Tuesday and that your cold is better. Have a safe and happy Christmas with your children! Best wishes to you!

I have never known anyone who is as good at cobbling together jobs to make ends try to meet--I'm glad you got another source of funds!!!! I hope you feel better soon, and I hope you aren't getting clobbered by that big blizzard--but I suspect that you are--take care of yourself...
