Thursday April 7

Happy Birthday Micki!! It was fun to be in Denver with you last June. Can hardly wait until that little girl arrives. Went to coffee at folks. Laurie J. spent the night and is here for a couple days with her 5 grand kids. That'll make her sleep good at night. Denny and I ate supper in the green house. I know we have no life. Denny is out putting the roof on to stay. I'm headed out there with my 407 textbook. Kinda different. Tomorrow the 3 certified SPED teachers are headed to SC for a transition conference. First time I have gotten a substitute for my classes. Nice quick call from Mandy tonight. Love to hear from my kids.

Wed. April 6

Brooks is ONE!!! Coffee at Folks in am. After school I brought 3 guys home. CM wanted to know if they would get paid for coming to B's birthday party. About 5 The folks came over, they hadn't been here 5 minutes, and Brooks got sick, so they headed home. GGny hadn't held Brooks, but she was in the room when he tossed up his cookies. Poor little guy, he hadn't been sick during the day. He sat in his high chair while we ate. Missy had fixed yummy mac and cheese, green beans and applesauce. The guys ate a lot. Denny headed to Awana. I worked on an IEP, then to Arthur. Cute little black lamb.

I remember "wispy" hair during nap time. I used to love to nap with my little girls, but I didn't like the wispy hair in my face. Looking back, the wispy hair is pretty cute. It's cute even in grown up daughters. Coffee at folks this am. After school I ran the trail. Then home and I started a fire in the coop while I read for 407. I put a fry pan with mushrooms, onions, and polish sausage. Andrew and Shannon left off Owen and Noah. Missy will be watching them for a few days. She'll be busy. Denny took fax to Howard and Anabel to have the initial for funeral home. Then Denny cut and started to put clear roof on the green house. Such a great husband.

Monday April 4

Happy birthday Maynard! Hope your golfing season is going good. Anabel was suppose to have chemo today, but her blood count didn't look good enough. Her platelets were low. They will try next Monday. After school I ran the trail. This is the 4th time I used "MapmyRun" or something like that. Denny had looked at the program last night. I don't know if he reset something, but every 2 minutes it would tell me how long I had been running, how far I had run, what my overall pace was, what my present time per mile was, UFFTA! too much information. I didn't really appreciate all that talking, but I didn't want to take the time and figure out how to reset it. (And it wasn't because my pace was SO fast). At night I worked on another 407 assignment. Wish I knew more about math. All this talk about functions, rational numbers, operators, algorims, additive(absolute) and relative (proportional) perspectives, divide both numbers by teng (not a typo, monomials and polynomials, preoperative and constitutive functions makes my head spin. What ever happened to "rithmetic"? Some of my students struggle counting money and telling time. Some days I struggle with that too.

Sunday April 3

Donuts before SS. Nice church service. Sat in front of Patrick, Geo. Helped with Zachary, Evan with Denny. After church we went to IG. IEP stuff at school, nails at Bomgaars. Nap, Denny grilled meatloaf burgers witih ranch. I finished another 407 assignment. Denny (soft hands) put more screws in the greenhouse. We went to the folks on the 4 wheeler and got a door for the green house. Denny gave little ones a 4 wheeler ride to see a turtle. Folks came over to see basement floor, green house, and the lambs being fed. Pretty cute. The folks missed seeing the "arch way" that Phillip put up between the two evergreen trees on the way to the bunk house. I'm not sure what color I'll paint it, maybe blue. It looks nice, too. They didn't have prayer time tonight, SS appreciation dinner.

I worked on Morningside 407 from 7 until 5 today. Just got done assignments for next week. UFFTA! Ick. Denny cleaned the house in the morning and in the afternoon he started on the rag-tag green house for me. About 6 I pulled some dead plants off the flower beds. Then I cut a bunch of pussywillow for school and church. Now I'm back at the computer trying to work on an IEP. Denny's aunt Millie died this am in Missouri. Pictures are from state BB tourney and ride home.
