Wow... almost the end of August!

Update time!  I know you have all been just waiting with bated breath.  LOL

Let’s see…  I know that there is a hurricane bearing down on the East coast, and pray that all of my friends who are in her path are safe and don’t get much damage.  Having lived in the south most of my life, I have seen what those things can do, and it’s not pretty.  Stay safe!!

The girls are at the doctor right now for their checkups.  They called last week and had to reschedule, which is a good thing because I was planning to call them to do the same!  I didn’t tell Olivia that there were shots involved.  I hope she’s not too mad at me.  Daddy took them and will drop them off at school when they are finished.  No news there, just “well child” checkups, I hope.

Speaking of school, things seem to be going pretty well so far for everyone.  Joe & Kati have had Algebra homework nearly every day, but to my delight, and surprise, they have been sitting together and helping each other with it.  I know, I know… who ARE these two and what have they done with MY kids!?  Olivia loves being a “big kid” and going to school.  I hate her not having a nap though.  I’ve been letting her go without one most of the summer but she just gets so cranky.  We’re going to be working on moving her bedtime back a little and see if that helps.  I just need to convince her that now that her and Timothy are the same age, they need to go to bed at the same time.  Hehe

John’s going back to school too.  Ok, take a moment to giggle, roll your eyes, bang your head against the wall… lol   I teased him yesterday because I think he’s going to make his career of being a student, but whatever.  If he wants to do it, and can balance it all, more power to him!  It’s all online, so at least he doesn’t have to fit in actual class time around his other commitments.  I’ve been thinking about taking more classes too, but every time I think about it something else distracts me which pretty much means I don’t NEED anything else to do with my time right now!  LOL  

If you could spare a few extra prayers… pray for Reece’s Rainbow, and more specifically Andrea Roberts.  God knows the needs (I don’t know all of them but He does!).  Also, there are several families in process right now who need a prayer or two.  Pray for the Parker family, they are going through a very tough time right now, and specifically for their 5 year old son, Joshua.  And, lastly, for me.  I’ve been having some really severe pain in my left arm (muscular, not anything related to heart attacks or anything).  It really hurts, but I’m not really sure they could do anything so I haven’t gone to the doctor about it.  If it gets any worse though, I will, I promise!  J
