Our Island Family Life

Will took this picture of a hummingbird at one of our feeders. Taking pictures is one of his hobbies and he has recently joined Instacanvas to show off his work. If you want to check out his pictures go here. If you are ever in the mood for some wall art you can even buy one of his pictures there framed and everything. Will of course always looks for yet another way to earn money. He gets a percentage of everything he sells.

As for me, the job front is getting a little scary. Good and bad of course. Our postmaster is retiring so I will be taking over the office for better or for worse. Short term will be hard with no back up to help out and a six days a week schedule. Then of course we are on the list for reduced hours so we will have to see how that goes. The pay isn't all that great and there will be no perks at all but any money is better than no money. It will be hard because of the kids. Sofie especially.

Stress levels are high. I want to have one day to hide from everything. I haven't had a car for several months now. First I didn't have the money to get it fixed and now I can't get it in to be fixed due to complications. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Connor auditioned to get into a school for music courses and got in. He is thrilled. His school work load will increase next year but he is finally working towards a future goal so I will keep my fingers crossed.

Cade is still dealing with the whole bully issue. We are working on ways to keep the kid away from him. The kid had alcohol in his backpack last week. Maybe he will get suspended and Cade will have a break.

Sofie goes on her first visit with her dad in a month tomorrow. Let the emotional fall out begin.
