=================++++++++++++++++++++=================
Sometimes, I wonder just how crazy my mind works...then I wonder if everyone thinks the way I do...They probably do, they are just ashamed to admit it...so here are a few of my thoughts to either make you laugh, cry or just wonder...Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.comBlogger238125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-456605571905888982017-01-26T04:44:00.000-05:002017-01-26T04:44:38.465-05:00ICU nursingI am back at work. Just came in from 6 days off. (that's the good thing about working 12 hour shifts... you get a lot of days off if you schedule them correctly)... So I get pulled to the stepdown unit again... Here we have 3 patients and basically, they are stable. They all sleep thru the night- which is a big plus!!!! I am going to say this- and it is according to my state of mind, hormones, etc- I do not like hospital nursing... I just don't like it. I have always worked in long term care and I still miss it. I am a totally different person in the hospital. I don't have much confidence in my nursing skills, because of all of these problems are acute... I am used to dealing with chronic problems... My buddy is wanting me to go get certified for critical care and that will also give me a raise of $1... I just don't know if it is worth it... I don't know how long I will stay here... but I have been saying that for the last 10 months... and I am still here...hoping that I will find my niche... yes, it has been a learning experience... yes, I am still learning things-- yes, tomorrow, I might like it again... but for today, I just want to be home in the bed!!!! I have a cousin, who likes hospital work. I cant find the like for it today... I am getting older and need to find a stress free, desk job... just sayin'Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-65867549572416592332016-12-31T03:06:00.002-05:002016-12-31T03:08:44.003-05:00UPDATE on MY LiFeHas been a very long time since I have even been in the mood to post. Since I am at my new job, I hope to post more. I quit the Director of Nursing job (on my bucket list) and moved to another job that was on my bucket list... I work in Trauma/Surgical ICU. I have been here since March- 10 months, and I will have to be honest, I don't like it like I thought I would. I work night shift, so it is kinda slow and at times, absolutely boring. I don't usually get excited about coming to work, like I did at the Assisted Living. So, I love to get a new admit in who has been in a car wreck or other trauma... don't like the medical ICU as much yet, as I feel inadequate- it's a whole new world... Tonight I am pulled to the Medical stepdown unit due to staffing shortage. I have 3 pts.<br />
Have a little Alzheimer's Dementia lady... she's got some sundowning going on and is right now agitated and anxious/angry.. so cute cause she used the words- "what in the thunder"-- I hadn't heard that phrase in a long time. She also had passed out and was brought to the hospital and now she can't remember it.. she keeps asking me why she didn't know about it-- I said, honey, you were sick... she said- in a very hateful voice- " I didn't know one THANG about it!!" So cute!!! Makes me miss my little dementia unit at the assisted living. <br />
Tom is pastoring at a church in Rogersville. Bethel Baptist. We love it and love the people. He has been there 2 years... <br />
Morgan is in college at ETSU- <br />
Luke is a Junior and is courting hot and heavy... well, he will tell you he isn't... <br />
That's my boring life in a nut shell!!!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-35544238561079849042016-12-31T02:55:00.001-05:002016-12-31T02:55:56.967-05:00Hiking at Horse Creek( Forgot to post on date this happened in the summer...)Today, after sleeping till 2pm, me, Helen, and the girls go hiking. Parked at end of Horse Creek Rd in the parking area, got out of the car, walked straight in front of the car to the creek. I began to explain to the girls how to 'creek walk'. You know, like how to steady your foot, check the rock for stability before putting all your weight on it, etc. And within 2 min, I fell in slow motion, right into the creek!!!!! Got wet all the way to my shouldersššššš... I literally die laughing at myself and forget my hipbag is still in the water with my phone in itš Took lots of pictures, the girls built a rock statue, had a picnic by the creek... so much fun!!!!!<br />
Shelbie leaned over a log dam in the creek and fell into 4 foot water! By the time I turned around, she was coming up to the top! Freaked us out! Jaida had screamed was the reason I even turned around!!!!!!<br />
They were so excited to see all the different plants and things in nature. It was so good to take them along. <br />
In the fall, we took a trip to Cumberland Gap... that was an awesome trip also... Will post pictures... we were worn out after that trip- it was strenuous at times and we ended up walking quite a distance. Was able to be in 3 states at once... Where TN, VA and KY come together... so cool!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-37446820538075786562014-09-01T20:29:00.000-04:002014-09-01T20:29:03.315-04:00Labor Day,2014Today, is Monday- 2 days after Morgan turned 18 years old... so Mom decided to have a cookout... cause Morgan goes back to college tonight... She amazes me that she is so much like me.. She was mad today because I read her birthday cards from Tim and Helen and from Mom... My mother made the comment that I was the same way when I was her age... I guess she thinks she is "independent" now.. I probably thought the same thing. She was very grouchy... I couldn't say anything to satisfy her... LOL But you know me, I am just me-- not trying to satisfy anyone... <br />
<br />
So I was supposed to go to school tonight- but I didn't- when my family is visiting, those moments are so few, I will miss school for that... I hardly ever get time to spend with Lacey and Anthony and Tim and Helen and the girls, so I will miss school to spend time with them... Tim didn't act like he felt that great today- wasn't in his cheerful mood...<br />
<br />
Me and Lacey and Lukas laughed so hard tonight, I literally am sore... we laughed at Mom and the things she told the kids when they were young... she said she felt like the kids need to know things, so she just told them... so Lukas says that when he was 6 years old, Mother told him be careful, because a {family friend} might try to screw him in the butt..!!!! For real?!?!?!? Mother!!!!! She said, well, kids need to know! I told her to please not tell Jaida and Shelbie things of this nature! Oh brother... so anyway, me and Lacey laughed and laughed at her- bless her-- so naĆÆve...<br />
<br />
Work is so stressful but I wonder sometime if it is even worth all the stress... I just don't know... <br />

I am in school to get my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and will graduate in May of 2015. I am a director of nursing at an assisted living and am in charge of scheduling 28 spots per day, I have 55 or so employees that I am responsible for and I have 100 residents at the moment. My lovely daughter is going to college and my wonderful son is starting high school... this is a money sucker, that's for sure... <br />
So what else is going on? That's it! I work, sleep, eat, and work...and it starts all over again. I do try to fit in family and church. It is kinda a pathetic life! But God has blessed me, so what can I complain about? Absolutely nothing!!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-13290470954968519122013-06-20T23:32:00.001-04:002013-06-20T23:32:29.126-04:00O M G...

White water rafting on the Ocoee River in Cherokee National Forest near Chattanooga. I was scared to death the whole trip that I was gonna fall out of the boat... But overall, it was awesome! I think I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known that the class IV rapids were near the end... But then again, I'd always been wondering what was worse to come. <div>I did NOT fall out, which was a prayer answered!!! I know I would have drowned. (I hate water in my face...yes, I can swim, and I had on a life jacket, but I don't like swimming underwater...but that's another blog post). My boss fell off and went under & had time while she was under to think about what she was doing and how she could get out if it!! So yes, I would have drowned. The kids want to go... But if one of those flipped out, I'd have a heart attack!!!!</div><div>So I came thru rapids named Double Trouble, TableSaw, PowerHouse and Hells Hole. So yep, you'd be nervous too with these waiting on you down the river. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVW1bbO9N-YHsWRki2_dYNoOvXjUp0rambpnWthc1qIKku4BF4l4IbspuaH6M14XprF-7W2UH2cFHNRXYC7R_RIiiE-2wgHx0_YEzCGHMXzDiNu-ZduJdChoO6Sx6KOFaoKMyPg/s640/blogger-image-755401877.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVW1bbO9N-YHsWRki2_dYNoOvXjUp0rambpnWthc1qIKku4BF4l4IbspuaH6M14XprF-7W2UH2cFHNRXYC7R_RIiiE-2wgHx0_YEzCGHMXzDiNu-ZduJdChoO6Sx6KOFaoKMyPg/s640/blogger-image-755401877.jpg"></a></div></div>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-9821159681816387832013-03-11T11:59:00.001-04:002013-03-11T11:59:55.693-04:00Lukas being sillyWe are at apple barn.

I got really weak a couple times thinking about a Golden Dairy hamburger. Lolš <br />
We had Sweet Potato for supper. Added maple syrup- a little, and cinnamon. I kept laughing at Morgan cause she said, this tastes like nothing! I had scraped my potato clean & here she is can barely eat it!! š Lol So not sure if I can do this... But we are on the third day! Got 11 more to go. Surprisingly, I'm not hungry. Just cravings. I keep repeating the mantra, we only eat to stay alive... Food is not supposed to be an enjoyment! <br />
Tom really doubts I can do this... I really need to do it. š Right now me & Morgan are keeping each other strong. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSpAD8gqIQX5kWz46qHszRmqtnG5e_90Z8EqpmklurcIIbjpJvhgD2LTGdiDCpgSl5RRsKrpdT2i90AOshm9HsKSzBmt1Mscgm2rzp0P2zTUbGU_s63p1EkJeT-J3ZhhFy3eQyMA/s640/blogger-image--1997501829.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSpAD8gqIQX5kWz46qHszRmqtnG5e_90Z8EqpmklurcIIbjpJvhgD2LTGdiDCpgSl5RRsKrpdT2i90AOshm9HsKSzBmt1Mscgm2rzp0P2zTUbGU_s63p1EkJeT-J3ZhhFy3eQyMA/s640/blogger-image--1997501829.jpg" /></a></div>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-3989698629648264992013-02-03T23:04:00.000-05:002013-02-03T23:20:13.249-05:00NEW LIFE...Maybe?Starting today, I'm changing. Well at least that's the way I feel right now. Me & Morgan have decided to try a diet she forced me to purchase off Internet about 6 months ago. So not sure why today we decided to start it. Well probably because we have been watching biggest loser. So we went grocery shopping today...we are gonna start on a 7 day cleanse... It is basically a raw food diet. So I am on the way home with a car full of...broccoli... romaine lettuce...broccoli....1 orange...broccoli...almonds...broccoli...apples....broccoli... LOL I don't like alot of veggies...so if you can't tell, I do like broccoli...but only with cheese...and butter...so I am pretty much out of luck. So I was hungry, wanted to come home and eat...guess what I get to eat, BROCCOLI!!!! LOL<br />
<br />
All jokes aside, my resolve is strong right now, but it won't take long
for it to be gone... me and Morgan took "before" pictures.... yes, I
know, she doesn't need to lose any weight!! <br />

Well Surprise surprise...they don't marry people at the courthouse in my county...?? What? For Real? She said very nicely, "were you all planning on doing it today?" Yes,.. "well, you'll have to find someone to do it." So luckily, Tom had a minister buddy that he wouldn't mind... so we called him. He said, I'm in my jeans.. Tom said, Im in mine too!!! Lol...He then mentioned that he ws the only one at home, so we needed to find a witness... Called Tim my brother who was at work close to the minister's house and he left for a few minutes to come witness it. <br />
<br />
So we are standing in front of the minister, he has his Bible...he says "I don't have my ceremonial book with me, so I have written some things down, I hope that's ok...?" Of course... so he looks at his Bible/paper and says, "Well gosh, you all have been thru this before and know what all God says about marriage, I don't need to go thru any of this... Tom, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold, to cherish and to love and to blah blah blah" Tom said I do. He asked me the same and said you may kiss your bride!!! LOL So in about a minute and a half, we were married!!!<br />

I am starting this year blessed far beyond measure. I was reading all the things God has done for me over the past 4 years and now it has all been worth it. Tom and I got married (again) on Dec. 27...(a whole nother story). We are happy, God's plan is in place...and oh the things I learned over the past 4 years. Learning to depend on God was absolutely the best. I can't explain the things God has done for me...so many things...so many lessons...Simply amazing! I heard a song last night from a child, singing "I've had a Wonderful Life"..."If I died today, I'd have to say, I've had a wonderful life..." and truly, the pain was so hard..the loneliness so bad, but it was totally worthwhile... so, I'll try to post more this year than last year...LOL, this post is def more than last year... :)Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-63389963001131811242011-12-31T13:53:00.007-05:002011-12-31T14:25:38.255-05:00The McKerrocher's photographs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWr4ZrLoSeliy_jc2ICt5YTqD0CbzYpimB8m3pYT8AtsAhocuDEZDpP_PsXQ3LQkeh16ANGIfyyB8EbODBDl0lxJFIZ1tC3jlA_9T5Gw91rjX3_qtZ1x8QtqCrDkIc0ZwEQXZRwA/s1600/DSC_3014+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block;

LOLMy life has been so busy in the past 7 months that I hardly have time to breath...I am gonna start my last semester for my RN degree in 13 days and I will graduate in May. As a single mom with an uninvolved father, I have to do all the running for my two children, one in ball, one in high school...I am working two part time jobs and goin to school 3 days a week, not to mention trying to attend church 3 services a week. One day a couple weeks ago, I spent substantial amounts of time in 3 different cities in East Tn...so yes, I'm busy...that's not including keeping the house clean, the clothes washed, (the kids help, Thank God) and all the other routine upkeep to life...trying to pray, study the Bible, study homework, and still have time to take a shower, eat and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night...yep, I'm busy...Now is there any question? I still have to try to spend quality time with the kids, whether it be taking them to eat or watching one of our fav tv shows with them...and Lukas's basketball games haven't even started!!!

I knew it was satan. Honestly, he has put an all out attack against me and it is kinda funny, cause no matter what, I am not gonna quit...and basically, I don't have time to fight with the devil...lol<br />So anyway, you wanna hear something funny?? This is how bad it is...<br />I got pulled over for not stopping all the way at a 4 way stop...well, yes, I got a ticket...but also GOT MY LICENSE TAKEN AWAY!!!!!! yes, I am driving with no DL's! There was some kind of mix up from my tags when I got the car back in October...and I thought I had it all fixed...but obviously not, cause my license are revoked!!!<br /> The two trees outside my house that are probably 100 years old are dead...I'm afraid the wind will blow and top of them will fall on house, or worse, someone! well, to get these huge trees cut down, it will be a pretty sum of money...<br />I go today to try to get my license back...after all is said and done...gonna cost me around 500$$$ (including the ticket for the stop sign)...yeah, satan, bring it on...LOL<br />oh yeah, and this aint even half the things I have been slammed with in the past week...I mean, it is really getting to the point that I am just laughing...wondering how much more the devil will throw on me...Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-78761383810150032582010-06-15T00:34:00.003-04:002010-06-15T00:38:11.773-04:00Peace from GodBlogged this Friday night, but didn't have internet access...<br />I have said over and over that thru all this mess that I now call my Life, that God has been there over and over for me. Today, I experienced that once again.<br />I boldly made a statement to a friend that I no longer felt a burden to pray for a certain overwhelming problem of mineā¦ well, because I felt it was gonna be taken care ofā¦I felt peace about the whole situation that was a ānew peaceā you know, the peace that says to you that God is gonna take care of it and itās okayā¦well, low and behold, within 2 hours of verbalizing about that, satan was there to try and get me upset. Imagine that??!!! LOL<br />I immediately got sick to my stomachā¦but then got control of myself in the next few secondsā¦not wanting to let satan have an inchā¦but you know how it isā¦as long as you are talking to someone about being strong, you areā¦, right?? But as soon as you are alone, those thoughts start running thru your mind again. So I am on an hour road trip and I have a chance to have a couple conversationsā¦with God, myself and satan. I started thinking about how God has brought me thus far, and how there is no way I can say that God wants me to give upā¦I said, devil, you canāt stop Godās plan, I donāt care what you do, or how much you target meā¦ you might as well get thee behind me!!!!!! I turned on the CD player and the song was on, āToo much to gain to looseā ā¦It totally blessed me and I played it like about 4 times in a rowā¦I thought how that, yes, I have carried a burden for awhile, but thatās okay, Iām not only learning as a Christian, but Iām growing tooā¦I thought how that God knows how bad that I want his willā¦and that with my past experience, God can take the desire of my heart away if it is not his willā¦ so, then the next song was āIt is Wellā (not the old version) but the one about the story in the Bible of the son of a Shuman woman who dies and as she is on the way to get the Man of God (Elijah), they ask her how she is and even though her son is dead, she answers, it is wellā¦ So no matter what is going on in my life, it is wellā¦ So by this time, I am really rejoicing in His spiritā¦ the sweet comfort of the Holy Spirit got in the car with meā¦<br />At church, as I sit in the pew, I am just glad to be thereā¦glad that I can focus my mind on something other than anatomy and cells and bonesā¦ LOL. It gets even sweeter when church startsā¦I am so blessed just being thereā¦just being able to focus on Godā¦yes, I have not been able to focus much on His word this past weekā¦School is eating up all my brain cells. LOL So it was sooo refreshing to just tune it all out and focus on Godā¦<br />Now, truly, this was enough for meā¦God could have stopped right there and that would have been enough for meā¦but MY God goes above and beyond what we can ever think or askā¦during the preaching tonight, the last point of the message about the fisherman on the sea, was how that Jesus directed them to a specific placeā¦Our prayers should not be generalizedā¦but specificā¦not āLord, help my neighbors to get saved, but Lord, help me witness to Mr. Jonesā¦ā etcā¦ but I was taken back to the time about 8 months ago, when on my way to school, God showed me to quit just praying generically for His will, but to ask for what I wanted. I was bawling by the time I got to school, just mostly rejoicing that God had shown me to be specificā¦God showed me numerous people in the Bible who ask for exactly what they needed. Hannah ask for a son..yeah, they thought she was crazy, but she approached God boldlyā¦Esther approached the King boldlyā¦.He even tells us to come boldly before the throne of graceā¦so that morning, 8 months ago, I approached the throne and took my petition before God.<br />Now, to bring all this togetherā¦after the attack from satan today, I was feeling really doubtful as to what Godās plan wasā¦was I following the right pathā¦which way should I goā¦etcā¦God gave me peace in the car while drivingā¦and to be honest, that was enoughā¦Butā¦tonight, in the message, God reminded me of the time he wanted me to be specific about my need. And the sweet peace was one again overwhelmingā¦does that make sense? Can you have so much peace, you are overwhelmed? LOL I am just amazed at what God does for meā¦<br />I couldnāt thank God enough for just these little thingsā¦I like to blog about them, cause sometimes, going back and reading them is a good way to put satan on the moveā¦LOL and to be honestā¦ Iām not a writerā¦I canāt write and make you feel it in your soulā¦I wish I couldā¦but like the songā¦itās a joy āunspeakableāSherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-90471897746727348422010-04-16T10:31:00.001-04:002010-04-16T10:34:31.404-04:00I love this quoteI love this quote on Adultery and Fornication...<br /><br /><br />Another way to put it in the animal kingdom is, "A wise Monkey is a Monkey who never Monkeys with another Monkey's, Monkey.Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-46855612409224808222010-03-10T11:23:00.003-05:002010-03-10T11:48:36.252-05:00School Nursing for DummiesOkay, I am laughing....My office partner says I should write a book...I just love the excuses the kids come up to see the nurse. I have had a lot of "patients" this morning...which is unusual in itself...but the first 5 needed to hear the story about the boy who cried Wolf...but overall, you got to laugh...<br /><ul><li>There was the little Hispanic boy who had broke both thumbs..., BTW, yesterday, it was only the left one, although he could make a fist without pain...today, both of them were broke...but nope, daddy didn't take him to the ER...there is no swelling or loss of movement, so I bet an xray is not needed till school is out...<br /></li><li>Then there's the older child who has pulled some muscles and wants to call home...but when I offer Tylenol or Ibuprofen, just the mention of these pain relief tabs obviously is all he needed,cause he suddenly got to feeling better...and said so...Wow! (try this technique more often...)<br /></li><li>The child who had chest pain the first hour and really needed to go home but don't call Mom, call Mamaw... and the next hour had vomiting, but she held it in so as not to get it on her desk...(now if she could train all the rest of the student body this trick...)<br /></li><li>oh, and the "thumb-broked" little boy came back up, this time with the complaint of "gonna puke". No temp, so I sent him back to class...(if you puke, you have to show an adult...and...if you pick a scab and cause bleeding you don't get a band-aid either)<br /></li><li>An older child is next with the complaint of coughing and sore throat...needs Temp checked, cause if he doesn't have a fever, then's he's in trouble...what do you devise from this?? Oh, well that would be obviously he is coughing exceedingly in class to make other classmates laugh...and teacher put a stop to that real quick...</li></ul>All this happened before 10am...what a day...Finally did get a child with a small amount of blood and another with a fever...so my advice is..if you go into school nursing, these precious children will make you laugh...it's priceless!!!!<br /><br />Then there is the funny things...the stories that possibly couldn't be true..but after listening to Weirdo Wednesday news, you have go to wonder...<br /><ul><li>The child who's grandmother passed away yesterday who was 100 years old and lived in Egypt.</li><li>The child who kept talking about his dead father...which I believed...but when asked how he died, he said, "either drugs or he was eaten by snakes"... WHAT?? ROFLOL</li><li>the child who flies in an airplane everyday from China to her school here, just because it is a good school.</li><li>the child who had a heart attack last night...</li></ul>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-20664286730283749552010-02-04T09:10:00.003-05:002010-02-04T09:27:59.112-05:00My busy lifeJust a quick update here on my blog, cause I haven't had a chance to post lately. I'm SOOO busy...I know I have said that over and over on here, but really, I function better like that!!! Keeps my mind off certain things...if you know what I mean!<br />But, I think I have almost bit off more than I can chew...but I'm not backing down...I decided at the end of last semester that I could handle 3 classes...FORgetting, that at the beginning of the last semester, I thought the same thing with 2 classes... :-)<br />So, I took 2 classes online and 1 class on campus, which has class 2 times per week.<br />needless to say, with church, church activities, both kids are in basketball, class 2 nights per week, working 5 days a week, mommy stuff (laundry, house, supper, etc) I am worn to a frazzle most of the time. I know there are friends who think I have abandoned them...LOL, I haven't...just don't have time! Do I plan on slowing down? No...not a chance!!!!!<br />So for my online classes, I'm taking English Comp and Computer Science...which usually have assignments due every day of the week. And on campus I'm taking my Algebra that I am so happy I am conquering!<br />I do have a dream. I hope that in about 4 years, I can look back and see that I have reached my goal. I want to be a FNP by 2013; or at least very close. That is if all goes as planned...but you know how that goes when you try to plan your life. I tried that once...that didn't work...so just gonna have a goal to work toward and we will see how it comes along. Hey, everyone has to have something to work toward,right???<br />Morgan and Lukas are great...they are such strong children...I have never been any prouder than I am of them at this point in their life. They pull their share at home, they are trusting in God, and I am just soooo proud of them. They are only seeing their father about once every 2 weeks at this point, and I think it is better this way...keeps them less upset...<br />Well, better run, got lots of homework to do!!Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753837768009026481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15493220.post-78412863238096868812009-12-17T14:44:00.002-05:002009-12-17T14:47:03.459-05:00Smart as a 6th grader<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzX8Z7czHD6WfRnqKxVuEaJXnOVF2FbZmoIJ-bNbtCoFsBkGqBeBpBKh1hGIrG4KAhmpzCgwiWMxi8N6mu6xfFz7HWCBlEVVEaqbtBO9qH3Qi9Ags_jjYk41LRtxWaElt6VKUoJA/s1600-h/IMG_0330.JPG">So, we are sitting in the cafeteria and a child comes by and tells us of the boys making fun of the bulletin board...see if you are smart as a 6th grader...</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzX8Z7czHD6WfRnqKxVuEaJXnOVF2FbZmoIJ-bNbtCoFsBkGqBeBpBKh1hGIrG4KAhmpzCgwiWMxi8N6mu6xfFz7HWCBlEVVEaqbtBO9qH3Qi9Ags_jjYk41LRtxWaElt6VKUoJA/s1600-h/IMG_0330.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzX8Z7czHD6WfRnqKxVuEaJXnOVF2FbZmoIJ-bNbtCoFsBkGqBeBpBKh1hGIrG4KAhmpzCgwiWMxi8N6mu6xfFz7HWCBlEVVEaqbtBO9qH3Qi9Ags_jjYk41LRtxWaElt6VKUoJA/s320/IMG_0330.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416293708527498386" border="0" /></a><br />you just gotta love those boys!!!!!!!
