the last week of summer break.....

Well, it's here. JEB's last week of freedom. He starts school next Monday. I'm looking forward to it, a little bit. I'll be able to come and go on my own. Run errands w/o getting him in and out of the car. It'll be quiet in the house. And yet........I'll miss his sweet little hugs. His calls for "Momma". Taking him potty constantly thruout the day so he won't have an accident. Constantly getting up from my chair to get him something to eat, always when I've just gotten back in my chair.

It'll be a different year for me......not working. I enjoy being in school so much. I enjoy the routine of it all. I loved teaching the little kids last year. I know I'll have a little more freedom......to join a Bible study, to scrap, to read GOD's WORD, to just relax a little, to workout more. But that is hard for me to do. I'll need help from the LORD, for sure.

I think JEB is ready for school too. He loves the interaction with his little friends. He loves the structure and routine too!

Jn started vball today, so he'll be hoppin' for the next couple of months, which is good. He so needs a hobby!!

we're still here.....

Seriously, we are still here. Not really doing very much.....it's too stinkin' HOT outside. Even just to drive around......gotta get in and out of the car and it's too hot!

Just enjoying these last couple of weeks before JEB starts school. I'm tutoring a bit, which is good, but it's a little sad too cause I went over to my school and packed up my classroom stuff and now it is sitting in my front room. I have one more thing to pick up and I have to turn in my computer and my keys and then I'm officially done. My last payck will be the middle of August.....boo :(

My tutoring will be the main money-maker for me this next year, with subbing at both MS/HS and the elementary campuses. While I won't like it because I LOVE teaching and being with the kids, I know GOD has a specific plan for me in all of this and I'm out to seek HIS divine plan. The one main benefit to me being home is that for the 14 days thruout the year that JEB is off and SCA is not, Jn/I won't have to trade off our sick days to stay home with him. That will be a plus!

Hope everyone is staying cool.........

the Birthday boy......and a new look for school....

waiting for the "Happy Birthday" song....with Aunt Debra

the birthday loot.....at PaPa's house!

my new look!!!

Well, we've been busy!! We went to Alabama last week and spent time with PaPa, Grandma Sue and Aunt Debra, and of course, they spoiled him rotten! He loves going to visit. He got Toy Story stuff, as you can see, and now his bed is all made up with Buzz/Woody to his utter delight!

We also had great success at the eye dr.'s office and he finally has his glasses!! Now, he won't wear them for a long period of time yet, but we are working on it. He hasn't really realized that they will help him see far away. Every day, I make him wear them for a bit, adding a minute or two to the time he's got them on. Maybe by the time we start school in a month, he'll wear them. We'll see. He is so cute though!

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July weekend!!
