Summertime Blues

Where has the summer gone?  I have the "blues" (not really) because the summer is almost over and the rush of school is almost begun.  That makes me sad.  I have been so busy keeping Joshua and Caleb (9 and 6) during the summer and have recently taken on Caroline age 4, and her brother Brantley 1.  I am still getting used to all the changes.  Having a 1 year old is a new challenge to me and I am trying to stay positive about it  I have these two 3 days  week (M/W/TH) and I am completely worn out.  It is full time work and I have help.  I don't know what I will do when Jenna goes to school.  I dread the days I have them and look forward to my days off so I pray things get easier  The 4 year old is fun and a lot more up my alley.  Once school starts I will lose the boys and gain a 2 year old.  It is going to be a challenge and I try to stay positive (prayers appreciated).  I keep telling myself I am doing this so my kids will go to a Christian school.  I hope maybe next year to find a public job, but I haven't worked in 15 years so my resume isn't all that impressive!!  Here are some pictures.  Meet Caroline and Brantley.

Summer happenings

The kids got back last week from the Wilds and had a great trip.  Josh left Thursday with a guy from our church and some others for a basketball tournament at Bob Jones University.  The guys had never played with each other before, (he has played one year before with one of the boys) but they ended up winning the tournament.  He had a great time and I think he learned a lot. These are the photos that his sponsor took and sent to me.

Jenna finished up taking some cake decorating classes at a friends house.  Here are some roses she made.  This was her first attempt here at the house doing them and I think she did great.  I hope to get in her sometime at Michaels.

I start my new job on Wednesday.  I am very nervous about it and praying things go smoothly this week.
