Happy April Fool's Day

i really hope that what happened today wasnt all a joke, or i dont know how my nerves are going to take this. my husband got hired for a job today that is supposed to be starting for him on tuesday, and it sounds like it will be good for him. it isnt in the profession that he wants to get out of, it is something completely different, and he sounds really excited about it. so that is good. the money isnt going to be that great, but is should just pay him enough, if he doesnt work any extra hours (which he said that sometimes he might be able to if they have extra work for him to do), to just pay the rent. groceries is i guess debatable on if he will be able to pay for that. but at least right now he will have something so that i know that we will be able to pay the rent. eating right now, is questionable. but at least we will have a roof over our head, which is a very important thing. if they give him a few extra hours per month, then that would be good, because then he should be able to give me money for some groceries too. and being that he quit smoking now, he has been eating like crazy. but i am very happy because this is definetly heading in the right direction. i really hope that this all works out okay, i will be so upset if something goes wrong. this means that my husband is going to be home with me almost every night (unless they ask him to work later cause they have extra work, which is what i hope happens a lot) because he is working here during the day. so that means my private time will be severely reduced.

i took the kids (with my husband) to an easter egg hunt this morning. it was nice, they had fun. my son, who will be 3 in may, was with me and my daughter was with my husband in another section because they have to be seperated into different age groups. my daughter almost filled her bucket up with eggs, she did really well. my son didnt do as good, i wouldnt help him pick them up because i figured that he was old enough and would have an unfair advantage, but he did okay. my daughter got about double what he did. he would have done better but he was getting very easily distracted, he kept not picking up the eggs and watching the other kids and what they were doing. early signs of add? i hope not. anyway, we had a pretty nice day. me and my husband didnt really argue, or snap at each other like we are usually really good at doing, but let me not say anything because the day isnt over yet.
