Chopped salad

Took Grands and Naka's for donuts. visited too long with Kim before SS class. I got a few groceries after church then checked an email at Schaller and found a note from good friend Mary Jo. I responded Hope you had a happy Birthday. I thought of you. Life seems too full at times, so I better reply now while I see the email. Then I am settling in for a Sunday afternoon nap. Thank you for your faithfulness during the storms of your life. I know the verses about Trusting the Lord and Leaning not on your own understanding, Caste your cares, God has not given us a spirit of Fear, Come to me all you who are weary, Be careful for nothing, Peace I leave with you. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you. ... But I fail to put them into practice. Lord, help me. Thanks for praying. I always need it. My storms seem minimal compared to Joy you find in your life. Thanks for the example. You are a precious friend to me. We napped a little, Then got to chopping salad for lunches this week. We are trying to put them in quart jars. Luke called and we had a good visit, then to prayer time at church. Denny did Laundry in sunroom watching.TV.

Gary came for a short visit

I got up and ahd devotions, then worked on an IEP.  Denny got a text from Brother Gary that said he was coming to IG to plan for his 40th Class reunion this June 24-26.  We cleaned house and He stopped for a quick visit about 11-11:45.  Good to see him.   In a way I just realized that he is about the closest thing to Denny as any person in the world.  That sure makes him special to me.  It was good to hear what his family has been doing.  Lord, Please work it out so me can see more of them.  It was about 4 years ago when Gary brought Howard to South Padre Island for Luke and Karen's  wedding.  What a gift of service and love.  It was and is so appreciated.
     Denny is out working on making a stand for recycle containers for Telephone closet.  I am in bed doing nothing.  Trying to recoop my sanity and   In the afternoon we walked and looked at the corncrib where Phillip may be setting up pens/crates for AI. We went to the root cellar to get my dahlia bulbs. I put them in the shower room in the basement. Hopefully they will sprout there. Missy had Sola kids overnight, Anabel is at Ames with G'ma Laurie, Brooks went to a friends in Odebolt. Denny set up the car wash and 4 vehicles got the first layer off. We visited with Missy and Phillip in the kitchen. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hurray ... Friday

I took Denny to work today so he can use the bank car and leave his pickup in the garage.  A student got scheduled change so not 2 study halls in a row.  Lunchtime mishaps, perhaps ISS. Two tests today for students.  Alg. 1 and Pancakes  Heading to meet Mandy after school.  She is working on a clinical in IG. I walked the trail and sent an email from my car. At 5:30 we got a cup of coffee and visited in the purple park. Then home. Denny had supper ready. We watched a movie, well I realized we had seen it before so I left the sunroom and went to work on an IEP in the bedroom.

Happy anniversary Luke and Karen!!!!!

Denny went to work early. I went early and filled up with gas. Then started final working on an IEP.  Wrestlers left for state meet.  Mrs. L went to classrooms so teachers could be in on the IEP.  Child Dev. went to Elementary school.  I appreciate Lynn so much.  She comes to every IEP and gets students registered for TAP.  I was thankful for teacher input and I feel that Will set up a good goal for vision.  It was good to have the meeting after school,  Lord, may it make a difference in behavior.  It always seems good to talk to students and parents.  Quick trip to Dose where I got a pair of snow pants and 2 packages of pipe cleaners.  Then back to school until after 7, working on next two weeks of classes.   I had put a ham roast in the crock pot and it tasted great with the salad for supper.  We talked in the sunroom and watched 2 episodes before going to bed.

A long day

School, PD, Awana, and I am tired.   Lord, help Luann recover from her back surgery.

Brooks dental surgery

Didn't sleep well last night. Such is life. Missy and Phillip took Brooks to Carroll to get some root canals done. 4 years ago Evan had the same surgery. AT school we measured ingredients in Ind. Living. I also went to get groceries. I tried to give a probe to Flex student. It happened at 3. Then I left to get Grands and take them to Gymnastics. Home for another great salad by Denny. Watched some TV and them to bed. The picture was one Brooks made for his sister. So cute. Notes from Brooks: Anabel is awesome. And Anabel is a great teacher. I love everyone in the earth.

Back at school. Finished Ia. Assessments

I headed to school early, It looks like the sub got along okay. It took a couple extra class periods, but I think everyone is done with the tests. I scored about 15 writing probes. During Child Dev. I addressed an issue ofa student just sitting and doing nothing, I sent an email after school. After school I visited with English teacher and sent a text to arrange a meeting with student, parent and teacher. I was at school until after 7 and started to plan for the next two weeks. When I got home Denny had cut veggies for a wonderful salad. It was so good. Matt called to talk to Denny. We watched the Bachelor. Then to bed ... still talking about what a great weekend we had.
