Well, it has been a week of Tom working on nights and I am not sure if it is getting any better. It is such an adjustment for all of us. This is the first time in about 20 years that he has worked nights and that was at Wal-Mart in the pet department when it was in Biscayne Mall. Now, for those of you who live in Columbia know that the mall is long gone and been replaced by a new strip mall. Anyhowmany, Tom is learning a lot of new things which will only help him in the future.
Alayna is coping with her favorite Papa being gone at night. My sister had a great idea (I know - my sister had a GREAT idea????). She suggested getting a tape recorder and he could read a book to her into the recorder and then she could get her story from Papa before bed. This way she could record something back to him before she goes to sleep. I think it is a great idea, so now I am going to have to look for one of them. Tonight she was using my phone and texting Papa while he was eating supper. She was sounding out the words and asking for a little help, but she was able to chat with him. She loved it.
I don't know if I told you but Kristi got a promotion at work and is now Account Payable Coordinator (I think that is the right title). With this great title came a little bit of money which isn't bad either! I am so glad that she likes her job. School is really kicking her butt this time. I think the break made her forget how night it was to do nothing at night. She had a great visit last week-end with her friends in West Plains. She and Alayna left on Friday and came back on Monday. Both of them were off for the day (must be nice).
Alayna got her first discipline report last week. She was playing with a rubber band instead of listening to the teacher. She also was screaming and yelling instead of using her listening ears. Kristi told her that this was her one free pass - next one is not going to be pretty so there better not be another one.
Oma has been busy making quilts for presents. She has this list and has been working on taking them off one at a time. This keeps her busy and she loves it since in the winter she doesn't get out much. Her shot seems to be working so far and I hope that it keeps working she is a lot easier to get a long with when she is not hurting.
I have been busy with work, it has been really crazy and stressful at work for me since we got back from our winter break. I can't go into detail but it is really been stressful and with Tom's change in hours that has not helped much.
I guess that is all for now. I am going to watch my DVR to clear out some of the recordings.
How is everyone else???

When Lucas works nights Brayden records messages and I send them to Lucas. Sometimes if Lucas is free he is able to send messages back. Brayden likes that a lot. Texting is great since it helps her practice reading and writing. Books on recordings are a great idea too! It stinks that Lucas works nights, but we have found ways to make it a little easier. Good luck!
Im extremely busy and tired. :-) thanks for asking. Tell Oma I said hi and thank you for the singing birthday card for Sophia. She loves it and I think I had the song memorized before bed that night. I've also been meaning to write her but I havent had as much time on my hands as I would like to yet. Love to all!!!
