About Me

My photo
I am a fun loving mom and wife to my wonderful husband, Ted. We were married 25 years ago in 1985. I saw him, and I picked him up. He was wearing a tag that read "AS IS, No Refunds or Returns". I fell in ♥ love and took him home! We have five...count 'em FIVE sons that are going to make some amazing husbands one day! That's because I am trying to teach them the necessities of life and preparing them for the "push" out of the nest when they will learn to fly on their own. Of course, they might not think it's such a great idea to be pushed, until they realize what it is like to SOAR on your own strength! I work at home and maintain my BLOG space as best and regularly as I can! My passion in life is to be a listening ear and gentle answer to those who have been beat up, disillusioned, torn down and tossed away in life. I know the pains that life and other people's choices can bring you, and I also know what you need to "pick you up" when you feel hopeless!

FIRE!

Well, as most of you have now heard, there was a fire last week in the Monticello Middle School.

It was quite a surprise. I was just leaving for work when my neighbor came over and said, "did you hear? There's been a fire at the middle school and the kids are coming home"...this was at only 8:00am!

Yes, a fire. It appears that there will be a change in the school schedule that has upset my Julian greatly (yeah RIGHT!). The high schoolers and middle schoolers are now "sharing" the high school building by alternating weeks. M, W, F and then T, Th...must be rough!!! I would have loved to have that "dilemma" when I was their age! Nothing exciting ever happened to US!

Today we went to pick up the contents of their school and gym lockers...MY GOSH!!! No wonder Julian never does any laundry!!! The teacher could hardly carry out the bags of his stuff, they were so full of clothes! Guess what Julian is doing on his days OFF?!


My "baby" turned 20 on Monday! Joe had his 20th birthday, I can't believe it! Finally, we cut his hair...no more black and it's back to "normal"...but, don't tell him you like it, or he will change it! (just kidding).


Julian got his long locks chopped today. He wasn't too thrilled, but I don't want him getting too used to the really long stuff! I told him that it was my mother's day gift (just like Siah did last mother's day--at church--remember?) I'll post pictures later!

We are going to IOWA this weekend to walk in the MS walk to find a cure for my sister...please consider a donation to sponsor me or my kids in the walk. You can pledge for me by clicking this link https://www.nationalmssociety.org//NTH/personal/default.asp?pa=54366020&pd=NTH0EWLK20060513DSM Thanks so much!
