I feel like summer flew right by.
We were very busy for most of it and it leaves me feeling tired and sad! We did a lot of fun things and spent time with our family. I’m not sad about that! I’m just sad it’s coming to an end.
I didn’t get to [...]

I don’t always share every little thing that frustrates me about our situation.
If you stop and think for a minute what it would be like to see your husband on Saturdays for a couple hours and sit with him in Sunday School for 1/2 hour each week, you can imagine a lot of my frustrations.
It’s [...]

Early this spring, I received my first ever notice for jury duty.
Interestingly enough, James had just asked me what it was and we had a grand chat about what a wonderful piece of our justice system it is.
Then I got the notice and wasn’t so enthusiastic anymore!
We were still in school, but I decided to [...]

I’ve not written about single mothering for a long while. That part of our life really hasn’t changed you know. I just haven’t had anything to say about it.
It’s hard and exhausting as always, but I’m making do.
I do a lot of praying. I ask God to show me what I need to see. I [...]

James and I went to the National Night Out last night.
Lot of community organizations were there with information and games for the children. It was also a community awareness/police event.
The children’s library gave children the opportunity to sign up for a ride to the event in the back of a police car. James entered which [...]

Lee and I got to spend a little bit of time together this morning. He handed me his diploma!
It looks so nice in the frame I found. Now, I just need to find my diploma and we can hang them up next to each other.
I’m so proud of him. I’m thankful he didn’t give up [...]

Last night, I had trouble sleeping. I was concerned about Lee’s day today.
I was surprised I wasn’t concerned about his day on Monday. On Monday, they drove the semis through standing water and had to hit the brakes and control the truck. I’m glad I didn’t witness that one!
Lee said his instructor told him he [...]

Lee has 3 more days of school!
This schedule has been Rough with a capital “R” for him. Thank you for praying for him. Please keep it up. He still has to survive a few more days.
His teacher told him he will finish this week and I think he has all his requirements in.
So exciting!

Twice in the past week, I’ve been somewhere that brought back powerful memories. It’s interesting to me that it’s often a part of a place that brings back the memories.
One was the church where Lee and I were married. James goes to their VBS each morning this week. Yesterday when I dropped him off, I [...]

Since James is an only child, I think he has a tendency to get bored a little more easily. We keep busy and he does play with friends, but he’s often looking for something to do.
While James was at camp, I made a list of fun ideas. I wrote each on a piece of a [...]
