Wheels!
Wheels that work.
I hate car shopping, so we more or less walked into the nearest Toyota dealer and announced that we wanted a used Sienna, and our payment terms. Drove one home nearly 4 hours later. Done.
Today was our first "normal" day, with Jeff at the office. I moved enough boxes out of my office to set up the school table. I paid bills. The kids played in the basement, and the "back yard." I'm still in that exhausted phase of being sick, so that pretty much wiped me out.
I recovered enough to walk them all to the tot lot at the end of the neighborhood. That's an interesting place, yes it is. It's a decent little playground, but it's surrounded by swamp. Real, honest-to-goodness swamp. With snakes. I saw them. There's also a bit of foresty area, punctuated here and there by old barbed wire fencing, and rusting metal barrels. Ooh, good fun here, kids! What were these people smoking when they decided where to put the playground? I could suck it up and call it a "wetland area" if it weren't for the freaking rusted metal everywhere. Tetanus Tot Lot, maybe.
Tell me y'all don't have a big mosquito problem in Michigan.
Tomorrow we're going to venture out to a park to meet actual people.
I hope to get the boys back in school starting next week. We do plan to have school throughout the summer. I like to keep things going year-round anyway, so that we can take off whenever we like without guilt. The boys are ... thrilled. Heh.

Swamp, snakes, barbed wire, rusty metal, and four boys. I wish I was your doctor.
