Hi All,
Well, the puppies are ready to go to their homes...I believe now that they are minipin and weiner dog.....Cute as can be and very little. I have homes for 2 of them..but I need a home for the little girl now..her owners backed out.
School is going...I have 2 research papers I have to write this weekend....for the most part--I will be able to fine tune them next week...so I will be spending alot of time at the library this weekend. One is for philosophy, I am writing about Martin Luther King jr. and his non-violent resistence. For my English paper I have to write a paper, apply a topic that pertains to the book " All the pretty horses" by Cormac McCarthy. All I can tell you about that book is that.....it is no pick me upper. It is a western that has no mercy or sunshiny feelings in it...so I am struggling to find something interesting enough for me to research.
Rob is doing well at his job. However...he went to the doctor today, he hasn't been feeling well. So pray for him. I am hoping it isn't diabetes...it runs in his family and I think he has some symptoms.
The kids are doing well....I feel like I am neglecting them some..because school is all consuming for me at this point. Next quarter I am only taking 20 credits so it will be a little bit better.
The trampoline was a really good thing for my kids...they love it and I keep forgetting to get the camera and take pics of them jumping about. It is good exercise for them! They are handling my homework desk pretty well..they always come behind me and ask...MOm...Are you doing homework? That way they know if I say yes--they will go ask Dad...for whatever they need. That is really nice of them, I am so glad they are helping in their little way to support me.
Clarissa is turning 5 next week and she thinks she is a "grown-up" now. 5 is apparently the BIG number! We are having a wedding birthday.
Bryce is acting so much better , I think the counseling is helping...just so he has someone neutral to talk to about his troubles. Apparently Landon and my divorce still bothers him some...I feel bad about that...but such as life. JEri is going to counseling....her issues are a bit stronger...so it is just an ongoing process..but so far so good..I like this counselor.
Cole is acting out a bit, I think he is trying to compete with the older kids...Carl lost a tooth today...I think he was embarrassed or something to give it to me because it had a cavity..haha! HE told me he really does brush his teeth...hahaha! Preston is keeping up with everything...growing up into a "little man" and everytime I look at him and see how big he gets ..a little peice of me weeps. My little baby..hasn't been a baby for such a long time--he is 8. They will all be gone before I know it.
Well I need to get dinner started...I hope you all have a great week!
