Some friends, Ryan, Kara and I went to a Corn Maze in Sidney, Ohio. It was a lot of fun, however, when I got home, I realized that I could not find my phone. This leaves me very distraut. I can't be without my phone!! I feel somewhat naked in the world of technology. What if someone needs me or texts me? They'll never know that my phone is lost and I'm not just ignoring them. When if my mother calls and I haven't returned her phone call by the end of the day. She'll worry! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Sigh....I'm going to try and call in the morning. But how can I find a phone in a CORN MAZE???? I thing I'm going to cry! Pray for me friends that my phone is really stuck in the couch or something! That would be AWESOME!

Well, It's Saturday morning. It's chilly outside, no sun and definitely a day to visit my mom. Last night, we went to Paul's Senior night game. So, glad we went!! Ryan saw all five of his children! It was great! Chiefs lost to Shawnee 31-34 but it was a great game!

Ya know, it really got me thinking about how fast time flies. This year both my stepson, Paul and my sister are graduating. It makes me miss HS and how much I missed out because we moved around so much! The sports, the dances, the memories. I don't have any! I've somehow blocked the memories of my school years out and I don't like that. That's part of who I was and I can't remember. So, my advice to these soon to be grads. Ceaze every opportunity you have and never take any of it for granted because before you know it, it will be gone!

We had a wonderful night! So glad Kara got to see her brothers and sisters.

Well, I'm off to my mother's house. I'm going to fix her bookshelf! It's seen better days! Have a blessed Saturday!

Sniffles and Sneezes!!

My poor baby is sick. She's got the runny nose, sneezing and puffy watery eyes. Today is going to be a nonproductive day for me because she's wanting me to hold her while she's watching Roger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella. I'm sure she will watch it a few times today, she loves that movie! I'm wanting to work on the kitchen this week and also attack Mt. Washmore (Clean laundry piles) Aye! Then, I have late homework to finish. I did get a big chunk done last night. I feel better already. Well, I better get to doing something while I have a moment. Have a blessed Thursday!

I made Ryan a special Blackberry pie. It was the first pie I've ever made that had a top crust. It was fun! I actually added some cut out flowers on the edge. It was cute. It was a total surprise. I asked him to get "dinner" out of the oven. hee hee. He loved it!

I'm back, everyone!

Wow! It's been a long time since I've written on this thing. I'd like to try to stay caught up and do some things with it. A lot's happened since I've last written. I am in grad school now pursuing my Masters in Teaching. I have two classes to go. I'm excited but I still have a lot of work ahead of me. Kara, on the other hand, is doing wonderful. She's so smart and adorable. She makes me laugh so many times a day. I don't know what I ever did before God gave her to me. I'm excited about the wonderful things He has in store for us. Well, I'm just finishing my homework, so I think I am going to head for bed!! Have a great day, everyone!

Nervous and excited!

Wow, I just read Sarah's blogs and girl, your blogs do something to me. I can't imagine what you go through on a daily basis and yet you keep going. You encourage me so much! I'm praying for you.
Kara is growing up so fast. We just had my nephews for about a week. Some of you may remember them from school, when I would request prayer for them. Anyhow, there was a little accident the other day. Kara was standing at the front screen door. She is 13 1/2 months old so she's a little wobbly. Skyler opened the door from the outside and out went Kara, right on her noggin! Found out later, after her nose turned red and then scabbed, that it wasn't quite her head she hit but her nose. It was so sad, but she's a trooper. About 2 days before that, she got 6 vaccines. It was so horrible watching that poor baby cry like that. And of course, me being the mommy, I had to be the one to hold her hands down. So, when the nurse was done, out go daddy's arms and rescued she is. I think she's forgiven me now.
Tomorrow is my first day of Graduate school. I am very excited but very nervous. I'm stressing out about money. I got a computer and internet so I can start my classes and my first payment for the computer is this Friday. However, I am getting a student loan but I'm not sure when I actually get it. I thought it would be sooner than this. So, I'm a little worried how I am going to pay for this. School is out so I no longer substitute.
Well, I better get going. I have a big day tomorrow. God Bless!

Broken ankle!

Ok, so some friends and I were out socializing in front of our apartments and my brother and a friend were play wrestling across the parking lot. Next thing we know, my brother is yelling out that he broke his ankle. Well, my brother jokes around a lot so I didn't think he was serious at first but as we were coming up on him, I saw his ankle completely bent back the other way. It about made me sick. So, I called 911 and he is now on his way to the hospital. I stayed home with my daughter and my nephew, Isaac. I feel so sorry for him and worse yet, the kid that was wrestling with him is sooo beating himself up. he was crying. My heart broke. He's a junior in high school and he's been wrestling since 2nd grade and he's never hurt anyone. So, he was pacing back in forth until he was in tears. Wow. The break was pretty bad. I don't know if he'll have to have surgery. I'll keep ya posted!
