Well I spend a good portion of my night at work sending e-mail responses to the queries I had about my Craigslist posting for a housekeeper. When I posted the ad for a housekeeper I didn't think many, if any, people would reply. I ended up being flooded with e-mails. By 11am I had to delete the posting because about 20 people had already responded. Tonight I narrowed it down to 4 people who I am going to have interviews with next week. A couple of the people sounded very promising. I am looking forward to coming home to a clean house in the mornings, and the mountain of laundry being reduced to a small hill. I am hoping to have someone start within a couple of weeks.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful. We went grocery shopping in the morning, then I went to bed as soon as we got home. I left Steve to put away the 2 full grocery cart's worth of food away on his own. My husband is so wonderful. I slept quite well and got up around 5pm. I hung out with Ethan and Miles on the couch while Steve made quesadillas for dinner and I grabbed a couple on my way out the door.
Have a beautiful day.

Where did March go?
Good Morning on this 2nd to last day of March. I can't believe how 2009 is flying by. It seems that I was just toasting the new year.
I am at work right now and it's been a nice night. I have had time to read and surf the internet and chat with friendly coworkers. I also wrote out our grocery list. Steve and the kids will be picking me up from work at 7:30 and then we'll get some breakfast and hit the grocery stores. I posted an ad on Craigslist this morning for a housekeeper. I am looking for someone to come in and clean and do laundry 3-4 days/week. I would rather use the money to pay off debt, but I can't take the mess or giant piles of dirty laundry. Steve is so busy with the kids and/or so discouraged when he does clean and the kids have made it dirty again within hours. I have hopes that with this economy and people looking for work, my ad will be jumped on and I'll have a few choices.
Also a funny story to lighten your day:
As most of you know we have a pet snake named Destiny. Destiny the Snake's diet consists of one mouse a week. The pet store we buy the feeder mice from is only open until 6pm on Sundays, so we usually buy the mouse before church and then Steve and the kids feed the snake when they get home from church. The store usually packages the mouse in doubled up paper lunch style bags stapled shut. Well two weeks ago, when steve got the kids into the house and went back out to the van to get the mouse, the mouse had chewed through the bag and was MIA. Steve wasn't sure where the mouse went to, but the van door had been left open, so it could have been anywhere. Steve and Lilah looked for the mouse for about 20-30 minutes with no luck before giving up. The next day we bought another one to feed Destiny and forgot all about the other mouse.
Tonight we were about to leave to church in the van, when I needed a napkin out of the glovebox. Upon opening the glovebox, I immediately noticed that a bunch of the napkins in there had been shredded up, mouse style. At once, I knew it must be the MIA mouse from 2 weeks ago. How it survived for so long, I don't know. I had Steve feel around in there and sure enough there it was. He put it in the garage to later become Destiny's Dinner.
I am thinking it may be time to clean out the van since a mouse was able to survive for two weeks in there.
LOL. Hope you enjoyed another Yang family adventure.

Beautiful Spring!
Hi Everyone.
I hope everyone had a great time on what was a BEAUTIFUL spring day. It was so gorgeous outside today. The kids played outside almost all day. I want to talk to our Landlord about putting in a playset, like one of those nice Rainbow ones. I think that would be great for the kids and they would be able to spend even more time outside. We have a nice sized all fenced in backyard, but currently it is full of gravel. I was so exhausted the last few days, but I caught up on sleep today. Our new bed is so great. I have been sleeping much better and waking up with fewer backaches. I was out cold today from 8am to 5pm, with only waking up twice to feed Miles.
Miles is getting so big. He is 5 months old now. He can roll over both ways and is almost sitting up. I bought some rice cereal last time we were at the grocery store and I plan to start him on it soon. He is such a happy little guy for the most part. He is quick to smile and his laugh is infectious. The older kids love to try and make him laugh. I can't believe how big he is already.
Love,
Suzanne

Looking forward to better sleep.
Well My CA state tax return is fully spent. We had to get a new refrigerator because our died earlier this week (so sad, because I had to throw away a lot of Miles' breast milk), and while I was shopping for a fridge, I also found a really cheap dishwasher. The new fridge is a big black side by side fridge/freezer with ice and water in the door. The kids are totally fascinated by the water in the door. The new dishwasher works like 10 times better than the old one and Steve appreciates the time it saves him. The rest of the refund went to buying a new Mattress set. It was much needed. I frequently wake up with a worse backache than I went to bed with and there was a definite pit in the middle you would find yourself waking up in. Our new bed is supposed to be delivered between 1 and 4pm tomorrow and I am really looking forward to it. I kind of want to be canceled tomorrow night so I can sleep a whole night on my new bed.

Hello All,
Well I am at work and I am having a pretty good shift. I am taking care of a set of twin boys. They aren't giving me too much trouble. I managed to wash and dry about half of the mountian of laundry today, but I didn't get it put away before it was time to leave to church. Hopefully I will be able to get it done in the morning. I enjoyed Pastor Miles' sermon today, he is in the middle of a series on the Holy Spirit, which has always been a difficult subject for me in the past, and I am finding myself understanding a lot better now. That is why I love our church. Pastor Miles' always makes things understandable and relevent. Well, more tommorow, Suzanne.

Well I didn't work last night and I had been hoping to spend my night home on my New bed, but they called and said that they wouldn't be able to deliver it now until Tuesday. So much for their delivery guarantee. We did have Sarena and her fiance over for dinner last night and we had a good visit. The kids enjoyed seeing her again too. They stayed over until about 8:30, then Steve and I watched a couple of movies together after the kids went to bed. My project today is the mountain of laundry in my garage. I bet I have about 20-25 loads of laundry to do, so I guess I better get cracking. Have a good day everyone.

Well here we go.........
Hello Friends and Family,
I have decided to enter the world of blogging (internet journaling). Mostly because we recently got a new videocamera that will make it easy for me to post video on the internet and this blog will allow me to do so without posting on youtube, not that there is anything wrong with youtube, but I find this to be more personal.
It is glorious spring in San Diego and we are enjoying the beautiful weather (who am I kidding, it's almost always beautitful here), and today was especially lovely. Steve and I dragged all of the kids with us as we did our errands today, Lilah and Ethan had doctors appointments. Lilah is 53lbs and 49 inches tall and Ethan is only21lbs. I don't remember how tall, but his weight remains at the 3% mark and our Pediatrician has now recommended a bottle of pediasure a day, fortunatly Ethan likes it. Dr. Reynaldo also recomended increasing his diet in iron and fiber, so if anyone know how to add fiber and iron to fruit snacks and cheerios, let me know. LOL. We also went and put a down payment on a new mattress set for Steve and I, I have been having more trouble than usual with my back and neck pain, and I figured the perpetual dip in the middle of our current mattress wasn't helping. I wasn't planning on getting one today, just scoping out prices, but I found a great clearance deal and they had a layaway plan. Well I've rambled on enough about our errands I guess. I hope to keep this blog up and also post videos often. Peace out for now,
Suzanne
