Another day we are blessed with…
I have my english done and one section of math. Only two more math sections to go. I picked up a few books at the library for my death and dying class. The Christmas Shoes, which I am half way through. I cried through some of it. Tuesdays with Morrie, I read this so long ago and want to reread it. I also saw the book, A child called “It” not anything for school but I thought it would be good to read for my profession. I read part of it yesterday. That poor child… To answer Pam’s question, I am in school to earn a degree in social work. I am in the profession already but without the degree.The title of this book is…”Hello Ladies” because the older boys and I went out for lunch yesterday. They had exams all last week and got out at noon. We were sitting in the booth. Ty and Josh across from me and the waitress came toward us facing me. Ty was on the end so all she saw was the back of his head and his hair is quite long. As she approaches she says” Hello Ladies” Quickly recovers and says and gentlemen. She was so embarassed and I made it worse by saying to Ty now its time to cut your hair. I explained that he is a cancer survivior and is growing his hair to donate. I added the family photo in flickr on the right. We are off to pick up our freecycle finds.

I started classes yesterday. I have two classes 1-4pm an hour and a half break and another class til 6:50. I have to read three stories, write a response to one, read a chapter and do many math problems. All this needs to be done by Tuesday. I spoke to the doctor’s office yesterday and they were pleased my blood pressure has come down. I still did not want to know what it was. Clayton made me a wonderful salad for when I got home last night at 9pm. I had a yearbook meeting for Trace’s class. I hope to do an excercise video today as my walking buddy has to work late. Thank you for the suggestions of the South Beach. I just bought a bunch of fresh vegetables Wednesday afternoon. I need to use them up before I think about starting something else.
Tomorrow morning I am picking up a corner cabinet and a bookcase from someone on freecycle. I will put the corner cabinet in my living room for my music boxes. The bookcase will also go in the living room I hope with all my photo albums. We still have so much in boxes in the garage.

Yesterday morning at church Trace went forward and professed Jesus as his savior. I was so proud of him! I have to call the church office this week and talk about baptism. We are Baptist for those of you that do not know. Tyler and Josh have not been baptized either. I am praying all three will do it together. That would be so cool! We watched the games yesterday on TV and just relaxed. I was hoping that relaxing would help my blood pressure. no such luck… it was pretty high last night. I will have to call the doctor this week and let him know. I am hoping with walking I will lose some weight and it will correct itself. My diet needs to change too. I am about 40 pounds heavier than I was in 2001. It is freezing here in the Northeast. No walking outside for me this week. I will do my dvds.

Today is Clayton’s birthday and he took the day off. I will put a pork roast in the crockpot with BBQ sauce for pulled pork sandwiches with cole slaw and french fries. We will all attend church this morning which will be so wonderful. It has been a month since Clayton has gone with the boys and I. I have been monitoring my blood pressure. It was high when I went to the doctor last Wednesday. It made me so nervous that it really hasn’t come down that much. I have to call the doctor next week and let him know what it has been. I borrowed my mother inlaws blood pressure monitor. It nice to be able to take it at home. MY neighbor is an EMT and she can take it but she is so busy I hate to bother her.
