One down a gbillion to go.

Zach made it last night, he didn't come wake us up. He said he did wake up but didn't open his eyes( a little advice from his oh so wise parents) and went back to sleep. So yeah. I always thought that once they were not babies anymore I would sleep again. Don't get me wrong I sleep a lot more then when they were babies but still. Anyway I am glad that we had a the opportunity to share with him the gospel and God's love for him and our own.

I dropped my application off yesterday. I am still amazed at how far things are here. The Board of Ed. is in Ashville. Anyway I would like to share a bit of my insanity with you. Why haven't they called me yet? I had this thought even before I took the application in. Like they could feel my want of the job telepathically. I mean I am so great and really want the job. Can't they tell that from my resume? I am the most impatient person ever. When I get a thought it is all I can think about. I am obsess over it. I plan my life for the next 25 years around something that has not even happen yet. (You know the whole retirement thing). Anyway I know that it is really a lack of trusting God and His plan for me, instead of my plans and what I want Him to do for me. So I am trying to just chill and trust that the best thing for me and the family is what God wants for me and to trust in that. We'll see I guess I will just have to keep working on that one.

Anyway I think we will go to the pool today I mean there are very few pool days left. so toddles for now.

Adivse please.

My 10 year old is having a waking up at night scared out of his mind probably. He has always been a bit scared at night. Scared of robbers breaking in. He sees things moving and thinks he hears things moving. Or a light moving. We have tried many things like a night light, that was to bright and he would come wake us up to tell us he could not sleep because the light was to bright. Bye-Bye night light. The office is right across from him and he would see light from the computer or maybe an alien space ship, come to us wake us up and tell us. So we closed the office door. Now he thinks he sees the office door opening. The other night it was so bad he was shaking all over terrified. So due to being so tired he sleep with us briefly until I sent him back. We encourage him to pray to trust that God is in control and that the house is safe but if something were to happen it would happen and God has a greater plan than we can understand. Last night 3 times he came in and woke us up it is getting worst not better. He feels we are mad at him and we let him know that we are not mad just frustrated with the situation. We told him not to get up to go back to sleep that is not working. I know he is truly scared and not trying to just sleep with us we never let him, but I feel punishing him is not quite the right avenue yet . What should I do. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Life is tremendous.

So I am going to apply for a job at Moody High school in the office. Crazy I know but I keep an eye on there web site because I think it would be fabulous to be off work when the kids are out and I am very excited. Thanks to all the ladies that came over today and listening to my excitement. I can get a little excited. But I have decided that having something while the kids are in school would be good for me I tend to get a little crazy when I am not busy. So we will see what happens. I am leaving it up to God and if it is not this particular job He will have the right one lined up for me. Will I keep going to school? Probably but I am not sure if I would stick with nursing. Maybe something in office admin. or something. Because I think a job where I am off when the kids are would be super fabulous. And to be honest I love school but it can get a little tedious and I would be just as happy doing office work and working for the county. I am way to obsessed about retirement. but I really want to retire and travel and I need to have a good retirement lined up. And it would be a good fit for me I think. Who knows we will see. Anyway I had a really great day. I love having people over. I will have to do it again soon.

Chocolate Cake anyone?

I would like to invited everyone over for chocolate cake Tuesday around 2:00p.m. If you can make it I would love to have you. Let me know if you can or just come on over.

Lately

So life has been busy lately. And to quote Paige I haven't felt obligated to blog much lately. School is good and I have an A in math right now. I have never been able to say that in my entire life. Usually I was happy about a C. Wisdom and old age and actually studying has its advantages. I have observed that I really don't remember much of what I learned in high school, not because I had a drinking or drug problem just because I was a teenager and didn't really care. I hope I can instill in my kids the ability to care or a least that school matters. We'll see.

Speaking of school the boys start in less the three weeks. I am a little nervous about it but mainly nervous about being all by myself all day. What will I do? I meant I haven't been without one or both of them in almost 10 years! I am happy for them they are both very excited and looking forward to it. We will just have to wait and see what happens. I hope it all goes well and that I don't worry to much about weather it is the right thing or not.

Life feels good right now I mean really good. The hubby is wonderful the kids are good, summer has been so much fun. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Can't wait to see what life has around the corner.

Chillin.

So summer is so good. We went to the water park Alabama Adv. my cousin Lindy and her son Jonathan came up and we had a great time. We got to talk a lot and I got to share with her the love I have for my church family and that finding a good church home is so encouraging and wonderful for your life and living the gospel and grace is wonderful. I am sure I did not convey it that eloquently but I hope I did okay. I love her so much and want great things for her. I had to call her at work to set up our plans. I still think it is so cute she has a job. I know she is grown up but in my mind we are still kids when we talk to each other.

Anyway the water park was great the kids had a great time. I am way to old to ride spinning stuff in fact I never really liked it so I got a little motion sick. The water rides were great except the one that is shaped like a bowl I banged my head and feel through the hole in a most unlady like fashion. But the boys thought I was way cool for doing it. And I have to get in my way cool quota before I get to old.

Can not wait till the 4th we are going down to see family and it will be a blast as always.

Happy 4th!!!
