J has lost his job once more. This job loss has really rocked my world as I know it. He is a good person, responsible, and knows his stuff. If you looked at his resume, you would think long and hard why to hire him with his resume for the past year. Anyway, this last job he had heights-very high heights! J will do anything but heights. So suffice to say, this job was not a perfect fit for him. He is awaiting to hear when he will be working again. He has been offered a position with a great company, however, we are just waiting to hear when he will start, pending the results of drug and background check.
M is doing great. She sits around all day and lays in her bed. Last Friday, her and best friend, B, wanted to have a party at our house. Of course, I told her yes, but realized it was the same night, J and I had a date so we canceled our date and stayed home to be chaperone's for her little party she was hosting.
C is having a time of her life this summer-no not really. She is eagerly waiting to go on a mission trip with our church. C will be in marching band with her sister which will start with band camp immediately after she arrives home from her mission trip.
I am so glad school is over. This year was not a good year for either one of my girls. Junior year lived up to all the stresses that everyone before me has mentioned. M did great in school and I couldn't be more proud. C did ok in school and could have done much better if she applied herself. This year, she will be 15 in September. She will be able to obtain her driving permit according to the state. I have told her driving is a privilege and not a right. She has to prove to me she is responsible to drive. By doing that, she needs to maintain straight A's. My rule not the states.
This summer break (remember we have been out of school since May 27), we have spent numerous hours in the dentist office. Both girls had cleaning, cavities to be filled and poor C had 2 teeth pulled. Yesterday we were given our walking papers for another 6 months. We had to use a new dentist because of insurance and oh my-what a great office.
We also have gone to get our eyes checked. Both girls eyes have decreasingly gotten worse so glasses/contacts are to be worn at all times. The DR reprimanded me for the loss of C's eyesight. He was not very nice about it and the girls heard him in the waiting room. I felt like a child again at the principals office-not that I ever know anything about that. My eyes are also a lot worse but I am getting old so what do you expect at my age.
This past weekend, we hosted a surprise 50th party for a good friend of ours at our house. We enjoyed the day. Our house looked nice and the backyard was finally cleaned up from all the storms we have had. Tree limbs were all over the yard. My flowers are starting to grow nicely.
Some news that makes me want to shake my head and say really:
- A little girl in a neighboring county was left in a daycare van for over 3 hours in this heat. The poor mom was called and told her that she needed to get to the hospital immediately where she was told her daughter had died. She was 2 years old. Working with children on a daily basis, I count and count and count. When I can't find one of my little people, I panic for a split second. That is just going from my classroom to outside or to another room in my little school. There are so many questions that need to be answered.
- The Batchelorette- This season is crazy. Ashley is so hooked on Bentley. I wish Chris would show her the outtakes of Bentley before he left. Next week is proving to be lots of drama involved with Bentley coming back and the other guys not feeling it. Stay tuned on this one.
- Hermann Cain will be running for President. Go Hermann!
I have to go back to my life now-as you see, I am overwhelmed with excitement that summer has arrived today!
