The last week....

Yep.. it is the last week of summer vacation... and how did it start???? Monday I worked all day training new teachers on some of the technology things they will need as they start the year.... more training will come on other things! Today, Tuesday, I ran to WalMart to get stuff to see if I can get my pool back in shape after leaving it too long so that I can enjoy some pool time!!! Monday night I had a worship leadership meeting...tonight I have a streetlight band meeting.. getting ready for the reunion! So pretty much that has taken up the first two days of the last week off!! LOL!!! Gee maybe tomorrow I will clean out cabinets or something relaxing like that!! hahahaha!!!
I haven't been able to see mom in a couple of weeks due to work one week and transportation craziness the other.... I guess she knows we are there when we come.. she usually just sits and sometimes opens her eyes... occasionally we will get her to answer a question...it is sad to see her so weary!
Ashley is still working two jobs and has cleared up some school finances so that she can register for this semester.. now we just hope tonight when she finally gets home that there are classes worth signing up for. I hate it took so long to pull all the money together.. she is driving my Tahoe and hoping to hear replacement info on her car soon so that she can move forward on getting something else.. I know she didn't want to have car payments.. but not sure of other choices!
Andy is still looking for work... today he went to restraunts to see if anyone was hiring.. not first preference but he is going a little stir crazy not having a job for a month!!
I will go back to work next Tuesday... not really ready... but hopefully will be a good year... I did better this summer not overworking myself.. but maybe did too good and enjoying being a lazy bum too much!!
Steve is still working hard at the church... will be glad when that creative pastor is found and comes in ready to lead the people back to being about prayer and community and worshiping together... I miss the days when we had so many people walking in the door to see what was different and finding themselves at the alter making changes in their lives.. I pray for that kind of church again!!! Wouldn't that be awesome... life changing
Ok.. enough blabbering.. must head to the next meeting.. until I think to write again!!

So it is August

Well... here we are in August... and down one more car! Steve went to Nashville last week for conference and while he was gone I got one of those phone calls you dread to get...actually it was a picture message.. even worse... someone ran a red light and hit Ashley's car...she is sore... car is prob totalled.. and a week later the insurance of the other car is saying we are not sure the driver is covered under our insurance! ugh..
Ashley's bday is today... hope to see her this weekend and wish her happy birthday...
Andy and I went to Branson last Friday and caught up with Steve.. we also had Tammie and Robby with us on vacation.. had a really great time riding Go Karts, Rollercoasters and seeing some great shows!!! Time to get away and laugh was awesome!
Almost time for school to start again..... much on our mind with the church needing a pastor... Andy needing a job and car... Ashley now needing a car (she got a second job) and getting Ashley's school money in place so she can get registered again this semester and then transfer to another school next semester..
Hopefully things will calm down a little in our world...
