A day away

I just needed to take a day away from working on the deck project. Usually I drop off my daughter at preschool, come home, put my son down for his nap, then rush out to get 1 1/2 hours of work done before waking up my son and going to get my daughter. Today, I did the first three steps and am now guiltlessly playing on the compupter. Things are actually going fine on the deck. I just need one more board to finish the decking then I need to start on the railings and gates. I have both sets of stairs up though. I also need to do a little bit of landscaping since "technically" the deck needs to be less than 30 inches high or I would have needed to have a building permit and in the far corner the ground sloped away a bit and ended up being a bout 32 inches. I just need to get a landscape timber and build up the rocks a bit under it and should be good.
Did I mention my daughter broke her arm? She fell over on her bike, not even that spectacular of a fall! She has had a tough time with the pain, but seems to be much better now. She gets the cast off next Tuesday. She just loves preschool and also seems to love dance most of the time.
My son is walking everywhere and is just so calm and collected. The two of them get along well and seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company.
I have been offered a job at the school to fill in for someone's maternity leave so I'm in the process of trying to see if daycare is a viable option for three months. I have been dragging my feet so long though, the job may disappear before I can make up my mind. There are pros and cons so I am struggling with the decision.
Mark is still struggling with his work situation and mood problems. In fact these last few weeks have been quite bad again, but he says even though he is struggling, he does not feel quite as helpless as he did last spring. It is just really hard for the whole family, I just want to take the pain away and I can't. I'm trying to enjoy the little things like the quirky things the kids do and the nice weather we have been having. Tomorrow is another day, an opportunity for a new chance I guess.
