thanks to the AMP

Thank you to the AMP, he agrees where many others make faces of disbelief.
Back story: Jon lost his daytime job a month ago, and we were not sure what we were going to do, we needed that job.  Faithfully we prayed and listened and waited, and God has provided for us, but not in the way we had anticipated, or even looked for(and no, no big bag of gold fell from the sky, bummer:-)  Friends were having child care problems, or just not great or affordable child care, so we stepped up.  First just with one friend from church for a few days a week, but he is a fun little guy, so no big deal.  M fits right in with the gang, and his mommy comes and gets him in the afternoon, this is where it gets tricky, because I have to leave at 1:30 to get K and D from their schools, my first and primary job as their nanny.  So, this leaves Jon home, with one of our kids, and M, hmm, he was not sure about this, but we thought it might work, so we went for it.  Last Friday int the course of talking to a very good friend we found that she was also having child care trouble, and had to take off work last week to deal with that, not good, but what could she do.  After talking to Jon that night we realized that we could take A(now to be known as Tweety Bird in our house)  and he would also stay with Jon, so now Jon has 3 kids to keep track of, hmmmm.
Jon, being Jon, is all "okay, with a bit of duct tape we should be fine, hahaha".  So that is how it stands now, Jon has one of our kids with him every day, on a rotating schedule, and the other little ones.  He is enjoying it so far too, he loves kids!
This is where the AMP comes in, he stated that this was cool, and a nice way to spend time with each of our kids individually, and while many have given us the hairy eyeball upon hearing about this whole deal, the AMP was great with it.  It is nice when we do not have to justify our ideas or goals to others, it is nice to have people around us who get it, and are happy because we are happy, and to have those same people be the people that we are interconnected with more closely now, it is fantabuluous, we have the best friends!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to the wonderful friends who get us, and think we are stable enough(hehehehe those silly folks) to leave their precious children in our care, we love you all!!!!  We love your children even more than we love you!!!!!
