W.I.N.G.S

Last night we had a WINGS get together at Tracie Sanford's house. This is group of women mentoring young girls from7th -12th grade. We had a great time of food, fun, swimming, and fellowship with one another. We also got the new pairings for the upcoming 6 months of mentor/mentees. These young girls are all wonderful and need all the encouraging and mentoring we can give them. They also encourage us. Thanks you to Shawn and Tracie for opening your home to us, and pool. Thanks Jennifer for starting the program.

School again...

Today I started back to school again to get a degree in secondary education Math. I had to be there at 8AM for my first class. Yes I did have to start class today. We started in with math and even got homework. Then on to my next class at 9:30AM Music, where I also received homework, 4 chapters to read by Wednesday. I know that sounds like alot, but he assured us that it was only about 20 pages or so andI still don' t have the book. Next went to my English class at 11AM and had to do a 1 page paper on myself. Lastly, I had my Psychology class at 1PM, where we were in the wrong class room with no teacher for 10 - 15 minutes, not message that the class room was changed to a totally different building. So off 10 of us go to serch for the new classroom. It was in a biology lab just for today. That was interesting. After this I had to run to walmart to getsome cash to meet with people to buy books. I got my math book and headed to Corner to pick the kiddos up and then had to turn right around and head back to Dora to get my english book. Then back home at about 3:50 4 o'clock to cook dinner. Tomorrow I have to go to Aville walmart to meet another girl to get the Music book. Then back to class all day on Wednesday. What have I gotten myself into.... Busy Busy Busy!!!!!

First day of school

The kiddos had a wonderful first 3 days of school. Christopher has stayed on green, which he usually is pretty good. I was not surprised. He loves his teacher and loves going to school. He had a work sheet to do last week and after he finished it he wrote at the bottom "I love Mommy" so sweet. Mary loves her teachers as well. This is her first year to switch classes and she loves it. So far so good. I am bored without at least one of them at home with me some of the day..gotta get used to that I guess.

Prayer Request

I have a wonderful friend who needs all the prayers she can get right now. She is a single mom of two. She has been battling cancer since last October(the 2nd time around). She has now been told that it is progressing and the meds are not really doing the job and that she has a year or less. Please pray for her and her family. She is a really wonderful christian woman ad does for others before hersel, even now. She has not let the cancer change her attitude toward what God want and demands all of us to do. She is like the sister I never had and her kiddos like my own.
Please pray for her everytime you pray.

Home Sweet Home...

We are home from the beach. We had a great time. We swam in the pool, most of the time by ourselves the other times with a couple of girls, Mary's age. We went down to the beach in the late afternoon and walked along the shore. The first night there we went down and Christopher played in the edge of the water and was stung all up his legs by ,we think, jelly fish. We thought he would not want to go back, but that was not so. We went and walked on the 1/4 mile pier. We ate at Lambert's once. We also went to the gocart track on Tuesday night and I saw a girl I went to school with in Mississippi and her family. I have not seen any of them since Dec 1990 Yes almost 19 years and I thought it was her when I saw her, so I asked if her name was Mandy and she said yes. I told her who I was and she was wow it has been too long. Her dad was there as well and he was our Principal in school, he did not recognize me at all. I don't blame them sinc eit has been 19 years and I have changed quite a bit. We has a great time. The kiddos were great and had lots of fun.

Beach Bound

I am headed to the beach in a matter of minutes. The kiddos are already arguing at 6:30 AM it better not mean for a bad trip. I cannot wait to get on the beach this evening. I don't care too much for the ocean to swim in , but I do love to walk the edge and let it come up on my feet. We will see you when we get back. Have a great weekend.
