Cross Country meet in Carroll.

Got a text during the night that Laura would like a ride to the XC meet.  So Beth brought her out here after she took Stephen to meet the bus.  We got to Swan Lake early.  Beautiful weather!! Met up with Gail and Bruce and got boxes of garage sale goodies from them.  Found a suit at  New Horizons for dress up day during Homecoming.  Home about 1.  Denny had sprayed for our bugs.  Dan G. came with machine and found out the broken pipe was metal.  Phillip had 4 boys out.  I went to the folks and felt sad.  So empty.  Lots of beautiful round pears on the tree. We watched kids from 4:30- 8 so Missy could work on her class work.  Kids played while Denny worked on getting flat bobcat tire off, and chainsaw running, and then we cleaned our apartment.  They helped get rid of lots of bugs.  ick!!

Friday YEA!!

  It was a year ago that Howard died.  Life is different ... yet it goes on.  What a great year to have Mandy with us taking care of the folks.  Priceless.  Missy headed in to Mock Trial early so I got to braid Anabel's hair.  I took flowers to Olde Towne and made a bouquet for Sheri.  Another put out fires day.  English students would not read out loud.  But they were in school.   Math student is so slow.  But he did keep it under 4 minutes going to the RR.  Math test was taken by student absent on Tuesday.  Very nice student helped her with careers project during math.  Success student worked on very late careers project.  Other success student would not finish geography test.  Uffta.  I was worn out again.    After school, Denny took bobcat and chain saw and tried to clear a way to place so we can dig and look for water leak.  UFFTA!!  Dan G. came to take a look.  I an writing on computer out on the deck and it is starting to get cold.

IEP

We got up early. Denny was leaving for work at 6:15. I went out to pick flowers then ... it is very dark at that time. But I did get some flowers and on the road to school before 7:15.  What a day.  One English student doesn't show up. One student cuts out of school second hour.  One student doesn't get contacts in and stress.  Independent living did a good job of fixing spaghetti. LONG time in RR for science student.   Math test hard for absent student. Mom late for IEP.  Two staff got a chuckle out of me laying down the law at the IEP meeting.   UFFTA!!!  Nice to get to the CSA pick up and work with flowers.

First IEP exit of the year

I was in bed over 9 hours last night. That's good for me, had one a day in bed. Rupps put the balloon tire on when I went to get it fixed yesterday. Denny ordered 4 new tires. Had an 8 am meeting that went well. Grocery store to get spaghetti and pancake mix and sausages for next week. After school went to get a perm. Phillip hurt his back today and is flat on his back. Another great night in Awana. I brought the 3 Grands home. Pictures ... guess who was tryig to use the wide angle lens?

Long day

I was in bed a good 9 hours. That helps my day a lot. But it was still a long day. 2 English students here, but not reading the best. A student left after 1st hour and needed to be found. Class room discussion on Attitudes did not produce better attitudes. Student who needs review time in Math was not in school this afternoon. UFFTA!!! Lord, help me be a better teacher. Pictures of friends and families.

Lots of kids gone at school.

I slept a long time last night. Hurrah!!!  When we went outside to visit it was chilly.  Tomorrow will be chillier.  Two English students gone today, plus one from independent living, plus one that I needed to talk to about an IEP.  Cathy thought I did a good job on his IEP.  Now if he comes to school so we can get him improving his grades in classes.  After school I stopped  by the hospital for information on  a charge I got in June.  Then home,  Denny washed a repo truck.  I made some salsa.  Too soon to bed time.  Pictures from baby Kane visit.  MIss them so.



 

Sunday am with Jensens

Got up much earlier that I wanted, but it was a beautiful am and great to have my one a day out on Jensen's front deck. It has almost been a year since Howard died.  Sad time thinking about them. Miss them so much. Laurie came out and Denny and we had coffee on the deck and visited.  About 9:30 we headed home.  I am overwhelmed by my life and the things that I don't do well.  Lord, keep showing me.  I can't do anything without you.  Home and Denny and I went out to look for the leak on the well line.  I think that we found it.  Two is better that one.  I helped him.  Later in the afternoon I could not get a file to download to an IEP.  He helped me.  Two is better that one.   Thank you Jesus.  Keep leading us through tears and fears.  Prayer time at 6.  PIcture:  Two peachy ladies.
