God bless my cousin Jennifer! She came up for the week to watch my kids so I could go to census training - and is managing better with Catie than I usually do! And she told Daniel that he shouldn't put anything smaller than his elbow in his ear... so he tried putting his elbow in his ear!
The census training is dreadful, as anyone who has ever dealt with government programs might guess. It's not hard - in fact, the whole thing is fairly simple and easy to understand - but we are being spoon-fed the information at a painfully slow rate. It doesn't help that there are a few people that are fairly dense and incapable of reaching a logical conclusion on their own (which makes them uniquely suited to government work) and that the teacher is easily sidetracked and unable to follow a timetable. I have two more days, and I'm fighting the urge to go up, grab his teaching script and finish the training process myself! It's a good thing that this job pays well!
Catie's first communion was wonderful - she felt a little sad that she didn't have a veil like the other girls, but she pointed out that no one else had a dress that their mommies had made just for them! She took communion again on Sunday, and was just super thrilled to be a part of the mass in a way she never was before.
Jake's getting loads of the upstairs drywall finished off - so excited! If he's laid off by Monday the work will start going like it's rolling downhill.
You know what? Life is good!
