Back in Virginia...............
I feel like we never left. All those I once worked with have welcomed me back with open arms. Almost all the people I worked with before are still here. It is such a pleasure to work with Sharon, and Aris again. It's nice to already know what is expected of me and to be able to do it. I am looking forward to living in VB for the next 3 months. Our place is very nice; better than the last one. While it was nice to have a house in MD, I am glad we are not in a house this time. It is such a relief to not have a lawn, to not have so many rooms to keep clean, and I guess it just is easier to live in an apartment complex-style place. They have maintanence to help with any troubles you have. Speaking of troubles......apparently the movers did not install the washer correctly, and it had a leak in one of the pipes. We noticed it right away, but not before the damage was done. Maintenance called while I was at the home depot getting a hose to fix it, to inform us that water was gushing through the ceiling into the bathroom of the tennants below us. Isn't that a nice way to say....HOWDY neighbor!! They were nice about it, but we feel bad for them. It was completely the movers fault and we rectified their error. Unfortunately our neighbors will first remember us as the ones who flooded the bathroom and ruined the drywall as well. Oh well, there are some things out of our control. I hate that.
I am now typing a few weeks into our stay. I get away from typing at times. It has been interesting so far. Miss Diggs, whom I mentioned in much earlier blogs, is as funny as ever. If she's thinkin' it, she's sure gonna say it soon! And when she does, it sets us all to laughter. She is a very down to earth woman. She has a heart e as good as gold. I've already accumulated many stories to come home to the children with. I love telling them how the day has gone and we usually are laughing hysterically with each other almost every night! I want to be them all more than anybody else. What a blessing that is. My children are a pleasure to be with. There are many who do not echo that sentiment. Perhaps it's not for everyone; spending all the time you can with your family. The way I see it for me is, soon they will be gone and on their own. They are with us such a short time. Even if they remain with us till they're 20, it is a short time n the scheme of life. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for all of us. I am going to stop here because I want to write a different blog about some things that have happened this week at work............bye!
