What's Happening in Our Life

Well, since I forgot my camera last weekend, I don't have any pictures to share of our Christmas Party. :( I thought I would just update everyone on how we are doing. Lexi and I are over our strep throat, although I am still on my antibiotics. Jeff is doing well in his remedial courses for college. He is excited about getting started in January with the real stuff! Bradley is doing okay in pre-k. The girls got their mid-nine week reports today and I am proud to say that they are both doing wonderful! Lexi is all A's this time!!! and Allison is all A's with one B!! I think that is pretty good!! I was really excited for them!

Me, I am trying to decide whether or not to go to cosmetology (however you spell it) school. I can go for free, so why not huh? I am seriously considering it! I just don't know if we can handle him and I both going at the same time. Jeff is on vacation starting Saturday!! We are just going to stay close to home and get some much needed things done! I love spending time with him. There are so many things I need to do in this house but I really don't want to do them. Maybe I will get motivated eventually. Time to go for now. You know, it is past my bedtime!:) Love to all.

Just thought I would write a little. I haven't been keeping up with my blog as well since I have been doing facebook. I like facebook, but I have decided that I like a blog better. Allison's birthday party was last weekend. My family came up for it and we had her party at Pizza Inn. She had a great time with her friends and family.

Happy Halloween!

This is Lexi, she wanted to be a witch, she has a hat and broom but didn't want to take them to school with her. She was just happy to get to wear Black polish and lipstick!!




Allison(flower child), Bradley(power ranger)

I did it!!

Yes, I did it. I did my part in this election, I early voted!! I liked doing that much better than going to the polls on voting day. I felt more relaxed. Everything is going good here. Jeff is still working on his stuff with AR Career Pathways and they told him yesterday to get me to come in and go back to school. I don't know. I wouldn't know what to go for. Definitely not a teacher! I can sub but not full time. They said I could go to be a CNA. Does anyone have any input? Gotta go get kids ready for school. I have to take Bradley to sick call. He has been running fever and says his ear hurts. We all know what that is! See ya!

Costumes

I don't know if any of you are like me, but I hate trying to come up with a costume for Halloween. It is awful. Waste of money if you ask me. Jeff never has done the Halloween thing. So it is up to me. The kids and I had fun at a little Halloween Carnival thing today. No dressing up though. They got to have fun playing games and sliding down the big blow up slide and, of course, seeing their friends. Jeff left for work this morning at 7:30 and it is 8:45 tonight and he is just leaving work. Hard day for him. I hate that for him. Gotta go tuck in kids for bed. It is wonderful when they come to you and ask you to take them to bed. Later.

Busy Busy

I know we all say we are busy all the time but does it really have to be this busy? I mean I had a friend come my way and I couldn't even think to call her before she got here to let her know what was going on in my life and why I couldn't meet her and visit. Some times are busier than others. Well, here it is. Saturday, Oct. 11th was the day the kids and I were to go to Xander's birthday party in Russellville. Woke up and while getting ready to go we get a call that my mother-in-law, Norma, had passed out in her kitchen. (while making our sandwiches for our trip.) Jeff went up there and they ended up calling 911, she went to the hospital. I was stuck, do I leave or not. I couldn't really do anything here because I have these three kids, so Jeff and I decide for me to go ahead and go on my trip. Xander's b-day party was a success! The kids loved it! They got to skate!
The next morning I get a phone call from Jeff saying that his dad just went to the ER from his mom's room in the hospital. Really bad stomach pains! Come to find out, he had gallstones. On Sunday night Jeff and I and the kids stayed with his dad while Donisha(my sister-in-law) stayed with Norma in the hospital. Well, Norma got out of the hospital on Tuesday. We had Allison's last soccer game of the season that night and on Wednesday morning while taking the kids to school I get a phone call from my father-in-law saying that Norma has passed out again and I need to come get her up. I did and she is fine. She is having trouble with her blood pressure dropping. On Thursday, Gene, (my father-in-law), went into the hospital to have his gallbladder removed. Everything went well there and he got to come home that same day. I did stay with Norma that day. On Saturday, we had another birthday skating party to go to for one of Bradley's friends, Rodney. They all had a blast! Things seem to be slowing down a bit, but there is housework and yard work to be done! So for anyone who has emailed or called and I haven't replied, I'm Sorry. Jeff is at the Doctor right now for his yearly physical. We will see how that one goes! I am expecting good news! Oh, I forgot, Bradley was sick on Friday with some kind of virus. I love being close to my in laws when they need us. We would do anything for them. For those of you who do not know, Jeff's dad is 82 and his mom is 78. But they do really good!! Love to all of you. Miss everyone! Girls from high school, we NEED to get together soon!!
