Life...

Do you ever wonder why?

I was hoping...

That even though the economy is really bad, that with everything Ken does at the school we would be ok. But I guess not. Ken came home from work yesterday looking a little down and I thought he was just tired from the work week, didn't think too much about it. While I was doing laundry, I heard him on the phone asking about hours in kindergarten. I go in our room to see what is going on, and he tells me that they have cut his hours. He is now working 4 hours a day instead of 8. What a shock!!

He has already put some calls in to people that he knows and we are hoping that things will get better. I was thinking of life last night after the kids were in bed and I guess this is how people become homeless, it starts at the end of the day with bad news and keeps getting worse.

Not saying that we are going to be homeless, it was just a thought. So for the last 12 hours I have been in the "what can we cut out mode". Looks like TV programs and Bunco are the first to go.

WOOHOO for Jentri

School has been in for a few weeks now and last Friday she took he first spelling test. There were 10 words and she got 10 out of 10! She is awesome in spelling, last year in first grade the most she ever missed on a 20 word spelling test for the whole year was 1!!

Like I said...WOOHOO for Jentri

Dear Mother Nature,

Obviously you have ignored my last post about the weather. While I am sure there are other people that are enjoying the 90+ weather that we are STILL having, I for one am not one of them. Please, please, please take into consideration the cooler weather loving people. ANY significant temperature drop would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
~Traci

Here we go again...

I got a txt from christian saying he didn't feel good. Headache, sore throat and upset tummy. Had him check his blood sugar, he was 308! Took a correction shot, still high. Went to get him, hope things calm down. Maybe he is sick with strep or something, that would be an easy answer to the high readings after a few days of lows.

Dear mother Nature...

I know we are supposed to have 4 seasons, I understand the reasons why we do. But honestly, haven't we had enough summer? The heat, sweating in places that you really shouldn't, the muggy weather, sun burns and did I mention the heat? I think it is time that you consider turning down the temperatures, at my house (well with me at least) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
From your winter loving, cool temperature, wishing for snow, summer hating friend

Makayla started 7th grade!

She went to the bus stop in tears, talk about feeling guilty! She looked so cute in her new digs, but you will have to take my word for it because I am now blogging without photos till the stupid computer gets fixed. I did take a pic of her on my phone, so if I have your cell number I will send it to you.

We are just waiting for her to get home.....

She started 7th grade today, Christian and Jentri are home. Tomorrow She will be home and Christian and Jentri will go to school. On Friday all 3 of them will go to school. What will I do with my time???
