Ok - I have to admit... I am not a fan of mice! If I see one I am screaming and standing on top of whatever is close by!! Somehow I actually enjoy this unit. Could be that the mice we study are actually cute and most of the time wearing clothes! Lol!

We had a great time yesterday going to a painting class with some of the girls from co-op. Ashleigh made a beautiful cross painting.
I also got some job possiblilities . As I have already said - my heart is wanting more and more to stay home. Doors are beginning to open and I am so excited about the possibilities!! One thing that would make this transition SO much easier would be selling our house! We had it on the market a few years ago but took it off and have not reposted it yet. If anyone knows someone looking for a house or rental property in Dothan, Al send them my way! I have the house for them!!
On a sad note - Fall break is coming to an end :( I will miss the time I have been able to spend this week with Ashleigh!
