Halfway through another long week

Honestly, this has not been the most encouraging 2 weeks.  Isaac has been in Sierra Vista for a week and a half now and I have been losing my mind in Mesa.  Just me and the kids, piles of boxes that we're collecting all over the apt., 22 doctor appointments, trying to pack up our apartment and spending way too much time trying to find doctors and therapists for Isabelle in Tucson. And lots of crying.  I can't decide what has been most discouraging out of everything - probably the phone calls.  I've literally spent hours on the phone trying to find therapists in Tuscon who work with our insurance and will work with our schedule.  You wouldn't think it would be that hard, but it is!  So as of now, we're moving in 10 days and have no home to move into (Isaac hasn't had any luck finding us a house) and no services for Isabelle set up.  When we do get services set up, I will be doing a 2 1/2 hour round trip drive for those services (long story, but due to Sierra Vista being small and only having a few therapy options available and because none of them accept our insurance, we have to drive to Tuscon for therapy.  Currently she receives therapy 5 times a week and Tucson is a 2 1/2 hour roundtrip drive).  I am so tired, emotional and worried about everything and my kids have spent way too much time in front of the TV while I've been on the phone and trying to manage everything, set up everything and be a single mom for the next few weeks.  Like I said, I've been crying a lot.

On the flip side, here's a few things that have been going on this last month (other than moving!).  Just a picture of the kids and I from Easter.
 Isaac and I got to go to Eli's school party a few weeks ago and he had so much fun.  He loves school.  In fact, we took Eli to the waterpark this weekend when Isaac came home on Sat. and he told us he didn't want to go, he just wanted to go to school.
 My friend Sandra came to visit.  We used to work together in Utah years ago and haven't seen each other since we both moved from Utah.  She came to visit for a week with her daughter Gwen, who is Izzy's age.  
 And my daughter, much to my dismay, is turning into a blondie!  I love her dark curls, but what can you do? She's still cute!
