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:(

A Good Day.

Had a good week, had a Great Day. I got to have lunch with my good friend Michelle from work this past week. I'm glad that we can still keep in touch and stay close-she's one of my favorites from there!

After church this morning I had the chance to have lunch with my BFF Kathy and her family! It made my day. I miss her so much. But whenever we do see each other or talk to each other we just pick up where we left off last time! It was good to laugh at old pictures and have her daughter make fun of her 80's hair-do from my wedding! I didn't get any pictures but she did and maybe she will put them on her blog when she gets a chance.

Scott and Clay worked their BUTTS off tilling a garden for me. I haven't had a garden in years. Scott has refused to do it because I never pulled weeds out of it. I think since I am not working there will be a better chance for me to keep up on it now. I promised him I would not fall behind in my weed-eating!!

4-H is in the air!

We left the house around 7:30 this morning to make the annual trek to go buy hogs with the 4-H Club. Cameron is the only one taking a hog this year since Clay is taking a feeder calf. There was a caravan of 12 cars (I think). We (the club) ended up buying 22 hogs total. Cameron chose his and named her Missy......If all goes well, Missy will be in our freezer come August. I know it sounds cruel, but that's just how it goes:)

Chad

Chad (+) Glasses = A pretty cute kid.

He seems to be adjusting fairly well with wearing glasses. He looks just too darned cute!

I got up this morning and went to Grandma Carrie's for breakfast. Mom was there and it was a nice visit. Grandma is 93 now and not as good as she use to be. I need to take advantage of any time that I can spend with her. She can still make me laugh! I think Chad and I will be back for a visit on Friday after he gets his eyes checked.
BTW-eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy.....does it get any better than that?

Easter Egg Hunt

with my family we always try to have Easter on Saturday.....have a dinner and Easter Egg Hunt. This year we had a record of 134 eggs for 6 kids to look for. Clay had 2 special eggs to look for.

Mom and dad surprised me with a birthday celebration for me. It was great to spend the day with my family. I know I am so blessed.
