Another day we are blessed with…

Clayton applied at a place closer to home. He interviews and has a pre-emloyment test today. If it is the same or close to the same money he will take it. If it is less than he will work two jobs for awhile. This job he applied for is overnight as in third shift. Not the best but to have him 10 miles from home instead of 40 would be nice. I also applied for a job within the town hall. It would be full time with benefits. I work 19.5 hours but so many weeks I have more than that and have to take comp time. Full time is 37.5 hours. I interview Friday. I am so nervous. We have all been sick with sinus infections this week. I got a 70 on my math test. It sounds bad but some of the kids got 20’s… as long as I get a C which is passing that is ok. I can get my gpa back up somehow. If I get the full time job I have to change classes anyway. Tyler’s dx anniversary is Thursday Oct 4.Eight years have gone by… I forgot to mention September is childhood cancer awareness month.

Time passes so quickly when you are so busy. The boys have been doing ok with school with the exception of Josh not handing in homework again. I had my first math test on Thursday. I pray I get at least a C.

Another day we are blessed with…

We are back to our busy schedule and full throttle. Th eolder boys started archery lessons. That happens to be on the night Trace has soccer practice. School is back in session for the boys and I. Josh already had a missing assignment, summer work that I know he did but didn’t hand in. I took his brand new cell phone away last night when I saw the missing assignment on our parent connect. We can not have a repeat of last year. He was missing so many assisgnments. Tanya left for Scotland yesterday. She will attend Edinburgh University for her masters in International Law. I am proud and also sad that she won’t be an hour or two away anymore. This weekend is crazy busy. We entered some things in a local fair, homework and a car show. Josh and I will work at the Christmas Committee booth for awhile. I am on the committee because of my job. They buy gifts for children in our town. It is a great program.

Another day we are blessed with…

I have been having a difficult time letting go of my neice, Tanya. Very odd I know but she is leaving September 6th for Edinburgh, Scotland to go to school for her masters. I am very proud but she won’t be a phone call away anymore nor will I be a phone call away. During her time in college at Fordham she would call all the time. This summer she has slowed down with the calls and I miss them. Right now she is in LA with Jeanne, her best friend. Jeanne moved to LA after she graduated from college this past June. I called Tanya the other night and asked while she is in LA could they take a picture hugging. She said “no” so I talked to Jeanne who of course said yes and told Jose to move. I then said well put him in the picture too. Tanya has been saying that she is going to marry Jose… don’t ask… Jeanne sent the pictures which I love. Clayton and I borrowed these two little girls to go to the circus before we had children of our own. I have the picture in my mind of them eating McDonalds at the picnis table before the circus started and now look they are grown up and so beautiful even when they are being silly. Jeanne is talking to me on her cell while trying to take the picture.
