now what I'm
certified to do....
that is the question.
Here is my August (in case anyone cares- I think I'm just wondering!)
Kingdom Kids yearly training and classroom prep
Did I tell you I'm leading a class this year? Our new Friday "mini class" called Friends N Fun.
Trying to enjoy some summer with not so summer like weather (which is fine it just puts a damper in swimming)
I've started farming (on Facebook- craziness)
Jordan has been home almost every weekend- still don't have a concrete date for him to stay home but I've heard September 11th.
Excited about great Women's ministry events coming up. The Fall Kick Off is Sept. 11... and of course our Women of Faith trip is in October again this year (that's really only a little over a month away)Kayla's 1st car said it's last good-byes. Ramone (she named him) has been with her for almost exactly two years now and that has been interesting to deal with. In the end Kayla bought a 02 Focus and has now joined the very adult world of car payments. "Ruby" (can you guess the color?) will be a good reliable car for her. I've had lots of questions about when she leaves for school and Kayla has decided and really pretty wisely to work full time right now in her job at Rochester Toyota and wait to go to school until she feels more ready. I remember going to school not feeling ready and well I could write a whole other post on how that turned out.
On the Kayla note... she is also moving out next weekend (labor day), she is not going far and it will be a good fit for her. My mom's house has a pretty private spacious upstairs area that she will be renting to Kayla and it will be a great transition for all. My mom lives alone and I think it will be good for both of them. I know Kayla loves her brothers but she is ready for some privacy :)
Rick, Sam and Jordan were all sick this month. Jordan was first on one of the first weekend visits this month. Cough, fever, stuffiness, really tired and just generally feeling icky. Rick was next- not sure if he ever got as bad as Jordan but his cough is STILL hanging on- it's been 3 weeks now. I know they'll tell us virus if he were to go in. I noticed Jordan is finally done coughing and with Rick a week behind I'm sure his will be better this week. Sam had it next- 5 days of up and down fevers and the cough and sore throat- he missed almost his whole week of Quarry Hill Summer Camp and our last day of Camp Kingdom Kids :(Guess who's getting the crud now? mmmmm I have meet the teacher this week and am back in the classroom for more prep. Please be in prayer for me! Couldn't be a worse week(s) to start sick!
Today we're off to my mom's house again. That has been the other big project this month. My mom lives alone and her house has just gotten to be a lot for her. I'm not sure why we didn't realize earlier that it wasn't that she didn't want to do work to it- it's just it has been to much for her. So Rick and I and the kids along with my brother are working to get things prepped for painting, (hired a painter), helping her get bids on the roof and a couple of windows, washing floors and anything else that needs washing and working on our very own Home Makeover- We finished her bedroom yesterday and are almost done with the guest room. The area Kayla is moving into has been remodeled and it's the only area she doesn't live in! Rick put up a hand railing on her steps so she doesn't fall and break something, Rick and Jordan put in new oulits and covers along with air registers - Rick put up new blinds after I washed windows. Things are coming along and it's going to look GREAT when we're done and she already feels better about her home.I didn't mention Eric- Eric is Eric- nice and even, easy to please (if you know how to please him) and excited about school. Whewww one of the six of us knows how to not over do it!
