BFF

Was so glad that I got to spend a few hours with Kathy and her husband Todd today! I miss her so much so any time that I get to spend with her, I will! and Todd, the tomato war is on!!

mooooo......

This is a cute picture of all the dairy feeder calves out at the barn tonight. One of those is Clay's.....couldn't tell you which one!

Relay for Life

Friday night I spent the night at the fairgrounds participating in the Relay for Life. Attached is a pic of me & Chad the next morning....I guess someone from the newspaper took this and it was online. Obviously I had no idea my picture was being taken! and I have no idea who the guy is.....his spot was next to ours and all I know is that he hula-hooped all the time!

Week One

Well, it is now Friday and it has been a "week" since the kids have been out of school. I think we all had a melt-down at one point or another today. Cameron woke up screaming at me when he didn't like what I had to say to him, Clay didn't like what I had to say to him either. Chad didn't want to quit playing with his toys when it was time to leave and run errands today so after we went round and round I took his toys and put them in a trash bag.....he will get them back when he earns it.....that could take awhile. Things have calmed down now. Clay is mowing a friends yard, Cameron is outside playing with some friends, and Chad has found some different toys to play with.

Tonight I will be spending the night at the fairgrounds doing the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. Our 4-H club will be doing it with another team. The plan is to stay up all night with the kids in the club, but our camper is out there in case I need a little nap:) I'm sure it will take me all weekend to recuperate!

day 1

Well, I have survived the first day of summer break. Chad talks too much, Cameron pouts too much, and Clay sulks too much! No, it really wasn't that bad. I think we will go to the library tomorrow and see what kind of summer programs they have for kids lined up this year. Cameron thinks he is too old for this, but he will go :)

I had to take Cameron to soccer tryouts tonight. Even though he is on the team, he still needs to show up. Hopefully we will have enough boys for a decent team, since we are moving up an age group in the fall.

I'm still here....

Wow, I guess it has been almost a whole month since I've been on this thing....I've got to get better at this!
Tomorrow starts my first day of summer break with the boys. This is a first for me and them! I'm hoping things go well. I really don't want to hear Chad and Cameron arguing and bickering over every little thing all day long. I will have to be creative to keep them each occupied. I'm not worried about Clay. He will be working and hanging out with friends all summer.
I've been doing a few online applications here and there. I think if I could find something part-time I could live with that. I always worry that the money will run out. I just have to keep the faith that the Good Lord will provide, and so far he has! AMEN

another week gone by......

Another week gone by. Not much happened this week, mostly rain. The weekend turned out Beautiful, though. I got my garden planted so that is out of the way. This week I need to concentrate on straightening out a problem with Chad's plastic surgeon and my health insurance. Since my insurance changed first of the year, he is no longer in network. I'm in the process of applying for BCMH, but I have to sign up for SSI and Medicaid, be denied for those before I can apply for the BCMH......I hate all the red tape and all the running around that needs to be done! In the mean time, Chad's mouth keeps getting worse:(
