We've been back for a little over a week and it's been quite the whirlwind! Neighborhood garage sale last week (I was on the committee), Sang's graduation, Sang leaving, catching up on work, graduation open houses...whew! Then Monday I woke up sick and spent the day laid up on the couch inbetween running to the bathroom to throw up. Yesterday was a big better, and today I actually worked and ate something other than saltines. It is amazing how much worse having the flu is when you're 27 weeks pregnant and have a big belly to get in the way of heaving over the porclain!
Other than that we're trying to get into a routine a bit more, but now Marc's work is super busy and he might be working late every night for the next few weeks, along with working Saturday's. We can certainly use the overtime, but it's harder to wake up daddy at 8am when he works til 3 or 4am. :(
Young leaves on Saturday leaving us with an empty house up until the fall when 1, maybe 2 Korean boys move back in, we have a baby & Marc starts student teaching. The calm before the storm. A good storm, but a storm none the less.
Speaking of our Korean sons...Young will be moving back in come fall. We have had 2 other boys request us as their host parents. I'm not quite sure what to do. Pros of hosting 2: extra income when Marc won't be able to work as much, having 2 isn't a whole lot more work than 1 just extra dishes & food to buy, it might be nice for young to have a 2nd high school student in the home - in fact he said he would prefer it. Cons: more dishes & food to buy, they would share a room so we would be packed tight upstairs, not sure how either boy would fit into the family while Young has already lived with us & we know him.
Oh, and we have to essentially make this decision by tomorrow.
Advice?
