Almost Done!!!

Well, it is the eve of my presentation and last class for my grad program. I will be done with my Ed. Specialist program. YEAH!!!! Seriously, this is almost like Christmas Eve. You know how you are excited and can't wait to open your presents the next day. I can't wait to hand everything over and be done. I am thankful for everyone who has helped us out in any way. With the T-man hanging out on the perpetual beach, I have really had to rely on a lot of people. There is not enough in the world to thank everyone enough. THANK YOU!!!

So, I decided I should start keeping record of the thought provoking comments that Scooter says. Here is just some of the things stated over the last week or so:
1. While walking past the empty sanctuary with the lights out, "There's nobody talking to God"
2. While walking past the empty sanctuary with the lights on, "There's nobody listening to God."
3. After using the restroom, "DUDE, will you come wipe my bottom."
4. After using the restroom, "Aren't you so happy?"
5. After seeing a cricket in our yard, "...then the lizard crunched the cricket. It was cool."
6. After twisting off the handle to the closet, "I didn't do anything."
7. After hearing me say that the light bulb went out, "Where did it go? We go get another one at the light bulb store."
8. While eating dinner, "Whose your cute baby?"
9. Right before falling asleep, "I'm not your pumpkin, I'm your cute baby."

Okay, keeping you up to date on our lovely vehicles. Really, I think I will be a certified mechanic once T-man is back in town. I will be able to tell you anything you want to know when your car isn't working right. I am sure we have had it happen to our cars this entire year. Anyway, recently had the smaller car in the shop to replace the entire driver side rear brake drum after the whole thing broke up into pieces. Or something like that. Let's just say there was loud metal clanging together and then the car wouldn't move more than a few yards without stopping. AND Yes, was on my way to one of my first meetings at my new job. Have quit driving the other because I am afraid the transmission is going to go out while on the road. Then I'd have to call one of you to come get me. I am saving all of us some time and gas. :) I have promised T-man that I will get the transmission replaced before he comes home.

If you have never seen "Facing the Giants", YOU SHOULD! It is a good moral story and a great story of faith. T-man had just watched it a couple weeks ago and then the pastor used it in the sermon on Sunday. We have agreed that we are like the coach and the kid doing that crazy crawl down the field. Right now, T-man is the coach yelling at me telling me to keep going. I know I have been the coach for T-man when he's been the player. No matter how we see ourselves in it, I really suggest watching it.

Well, done rambling. I hope everyone is doing okay. Take care and talk later.

What's Up???

Well, it has been a long time since I have taken the time to blog something. I guess because maybe not much has been going on. The boys continue to be busy. Shortey went to Boy Scout camp. He had a good time. The A-Man has finished his first session of summer school for the high school. He know has a full credit of high school credit out of the way. Scooter has just been hanging out with me, unless he goes to school for a few hours. We did break away for some time at a local amusement park. It was a lot of fun. I have been finishing up my graduate program. It is nice to be almost done. The T-Man is still doing well. He has been "promoted" in duty, not rank. OH WELL! He is busier than ever, but enjoying it somewhat. He is just ready to be back home. I got a note from him today. He said he couldn't wait to get back to his regular job; more physical activity, which he likes, and obviously closer to home.

Okay, for the highlights of our last 24 hours. I was working on my projects, putting finishing touches on them, and I went upstairs. Scooter came up with me. When we came back down the stairs, there was a baby snake at the bottom of the stairs. I screamed; it went behind the curtain. Needless to say, we slept upstairs. I did try to get our cat to meow at it and catch it. That didn't work so well. I even ran the vacuum by the curtain and door, hoping this would scare it away. SO, I called a "critter catcher" today. It was going to be $200+ to have them look around my house for this snake, catch it, and set traps for others. I decided to go buy a weed eater and my own traps; $40. I got home and got out the mower. As I was mowing the backyard, I ran over a piece of ski rope, which is now completely tangled around the blade of my mower. I turned the mower over to untangle it, but the mower bagan smoking so bad and making a noise, I was sure it would blow up or catch on fire. Then it began to rain hard. I think the snake went back home because I have seen it all day. I tell you what, now I need to get a new mower, a varment catcher, and a new door without cracks. I don't want to know what other adventures I will get to deal with while it is just me and the boys. Hopefully, tomorrow will be dry so I can lay out the sticky traps along my back door. OH I can't wait to see what gets stuck on those. FABULOUS!

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Talk with you later.
