We have a new roommate! The preschool teacher at St. Ed's was living with an elderly couple in Marshall, but we decided with coronavirus it would be safer for them if she was not living there. Plus, she is closer to work this way. And we have an attic with plenty of room so here she is.
We are doing our best not to drive her crazy - moving from a house with 0 kids to 5 kids is a major change.
She has been mystified by such odd behaviors as kids dropping things on the floor and not picking them up - "Who drops a pen and then just walks away??" "I'll give you 4 guesses." and siblings fighting with each other. "Why are they fighting? Can't you just tell them to work it out calmly." "Oh! Huh...I never thought of that :)" I should mention she also didn't grow up with siblings. At any rate, it's going very well and she fits in nicely. She's good at rolling with the punches, and gets along well with everyone.
Bonus: one more person in the house who cleans up after herself without being asked!!
