I Love Vacation Bible School....

Well it is Vacation Bible School time again. We will be having tonight thru Wednesday night at 7PM at Adamsville Church of Christ. Please come if you can. It is going to be so much fun. I am almost like a kid...I am excited about it. I will be down stairs during the classes since I will be doing the crafts with the kiddos. Come and bring lots for a night full of fun and God's Word.

College Student Again...

I am officially a college student again. I am going back to get my second degree. I have one in Industrial Electronics and now I am going back to get one in Education to teach secondary math, like the pre-algebra and algebra's. I registered at Beville yesterday. I am taking 4 classes on Monday's and Wednesday's from 8 am til 2:15PM. But those are the only 2 days I have to go up there. I will be taking Math at 8, Music at 9:15, Eng 101 at 11 and the Psychology at 1 ten on to car line to get the kiddos at Corner. I am kind of looking forward to it, but not sure.
Beville wanted to try to say that West Birmingham, where I graduated High School, was not state accredited and told me I may have to take my GED. No way!!! I was a straight A student with a 3.926 GPA and the Salutatorian, there is no way I should have to take the GED. I think they are mistaken and I am trying to get my transcripts to prove that it was accredited. Wish me luck.

Registration of two Kiddos

This morning we went and registered Mary and CHristopher for the new school year. My babies are in Kindergarten ad 4th grade. Mary got Mrs. Purkey and Christopher got Mrs. Frazier. These two will d very well. They seem to be very good teachers. Mary didn't get the one she wanted, but I think she will be very happy withthe one she got. She will also be changing classes this year and she will get all 3 of the teachers at some point during the day.
While I was pregnant with Christopher, I worked at Southtrust. There was another woman who I was friends with and she was pregnant with her 1st child, a little girl. Well she was due like Sept 17th and I was due Sept 5th. We always said that it would be funny if we had our babies the same day. Sept 5th came and went. The next week she went into the hospital for blood pressure problems and they were going to induce her. I was still pregnant and late. I said she better not have her baby before Christopher came since he was already late. So finally a week later on the 12th Christopher decided he would start coming, she was already there just waiting on the induction. So we went to the same hospital and were 2 roos apart. She found out I was there and had her nurse keep a check on me, my nurse would not do it for me. So finally at 10:11 am Christopher came and then around 3:3?PM her daughter came. Our babies were born on the same day, at the same hospital and we were right down the hall from each other. The reason for this story is that our babies are going to be in the same class this year as well. They were grown together, born together, now live on the same street, and will go to the same class and school together. How neat is that?

Busy Busy Busy as everyone is!

I have been pretty busy lately. I have been going to the track every evening to walk. I also started back in with some intervals of walking 1/2 a lap and then a slow jog for the other 1/2 lap for a total of about 1/2 mile of jogging and then at least 1 1/2 miles or more of walking. I also have been watching the scale to see what the outcome is... it works. It has kept me from gaining anything and I have actually lost. So I will be keeping this up. Last night was Lauren's first time to go with me in a week and the first time since I started in with jogging. She said she was going to kill me, but she did as much as I did. Way to go Lauren. If anyone wants to join us we do it at Corner most every night around 7 or 7:30. Of course not on Wednesday though.
I have been working with Mary on school work to keep her up on what she learned last year so she doesn't have to relearn it in 5 weeks when school starts back. And I have decided to go back to college, yes I already have a degree which I do not use. I am goig to be going to Bevill this Fall for Secondary Ed. I went and took my placement test yesterday and did really well. In reading the highest score you can make is a 99 I made a 96 andEnglish highest is 99 I made a 94. The math had about 5 different numbers so I am not totally sure what my score was, but the lady told me it was good and I placed in the math class just below Pre-Cal. So I guess that is good since I would not want to start in Pre-cal my first class back in many years. Also I learned that there is a possibility, now that Lawson has taken over Bessemer, that my classes I took back then, may transfer. And if they do then I will not have to take alot of the beginning classes and it won't take me as long to get my degree. Keep you fingers crossed that they transfer.
Home has been busy and wonderful. The kiddos are getting along alot better, knock on wood. Maybe it was the full moon or something that made then argue and fight alot last week.
Hope all have a wonderful week. God bless you all.

Locks of Love

Most of you already know that Mary is into growing and donating her hair to Locks of Love. Today we went by the salon just to see if her hair was long enough to donate yet or how much longer it needed to be. They said it was long enough so we got it chopped off. Now she has very short hair that is kind of stacked in the back and angles toward her face. Here are some pics of the outcome. She loves it and I think it is really cute. So much cooler for the summer.

Happy 4TH

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4TH tomorrow. Hope all have a wonderful time with what ever they do. We will probably just hand around home. Not sure yet.
