My in-laws are generously letting us stay in their home as we job hunt and house hunt. We appreciate their kindness. They are feeding us well, much better than we deserve. We are hoping we don't have to stay too long, even though they have said we could stay as long as we need to. They are a family of five and we are a family of 6. 11 people in a four bedroom house is a lot. I have always loved relatives coming to visit but there comes a point when you are glad to see them go. I don't want to overstay my welcome.

Ethan is sleeping on the fold out couch in the livingroom. The boy could sleep thru a hurricane and would stay asleep on the couch all day if I let him. I make him get up the moment the house begins to come alive.

Stephanie is on the fold out loveseat in Grandma's room. She is usually up bright and early. She likes to steal my coffee. One day I'm going to show her how to make her own.

Morgan is sleeping in grandma's bed. Morgan loves grandma's bed. Grandma usually wakes up in the middle of the night and moves to her recliner to sleep for a couple of hours. Grandma has done this for as long as I can remember.

Rachel is sleeping on the top bunk in Zoe's room. I honestly forget the child is there. Out of site out of mind.

Ken and I have private accommodations we are residing in Mackenzie's room. Mackenzie is at her momma's house.

I'm usually one of the first people awake in the house. I want to run to the kitchen and make coffee but I'm afraid to make noise. I didn't have to worry about noise today my brother in-law was already awake. He made the coffee. My routine in the morning is to drink coffee, check my email and then begin my search for a job and my dream house. We have looked at 12 houses so far. None of them suits our needs. It would be nice if I could mix and match; that yard with that house in that location. I received three phone calls about employment yesterday. The only message taken was that the employer would call back at a later time. {grrr}

I tried to call the numbers left on the phone but the numbers went no where. I guess I will wait.
