Hi Gabe!

I wanted to be your first today, k?

Now I have my coffee and can write more! Still have not figured out how you managed to give that stuff up!

Your description of the conditions of the house reminded me of this stupid assignment I had in JH where we had to figure out true/false correlations. One of them that I had wrong has always stuck w/me being: the cleanliness of the house is directly related to the income of the owner. (that was years ago, so I'm probably misquoting it!) That was supposed to be a true statement, but I still don't agree w/it. I think the cleanliness of a person's environment is directly related to their PMA. If someone isn't happy, their house shows it.

It's good that you were able to get moved back in, and as time passes, and you make some of your changes to the place it will feel more like 'home' to you.

I got a chuckle out of son's advice to you. Ahh, if it was only that easy. What other things do 6yo do? Pull her hair, maybe show her some bugs? j/k!
