Ramblings.....

I am married to the BEST husband!!!
Happy 4th of July!!!

I have decided I am not behind as long as I get it done, in some weird sort of way that actually makes sense to me. I have lots that I want to blog about, but I think I mentioned that in another post, however it requires re-posting because I want to make sure that I do not forget!

• I need to blog about PWOC.... wow what a year it's going to be, God has placed some amazing people at Fort Polk, LA, and I just can't wait to see what He has planned.
  
• also...Leadership weekend, but that really does go under PWOC
• And my marriage to the best husband in the WORLD!!!
  
• And...school, seems I can not get a grasp on college algebra, human anatomy and physiology are kicking my butt, the other one is nothing major... yet.... I sure do wish I could just get that algebra!!!
• Kids.... actually that's what this is going to be about today.... KIDS, and I intend to touch on all three of them, and being the positive chicky that I am, let me begin with Jacob....

Here is LA is rains whenever it wants, it can be a beautiful day and then all of a sudden rain, sometimes with the works thunder and lightening, well just so happens to have been one of those days today, we were taking in the "Moving Wall" in DeRidder, and rain it did.... well Jacob rather matter of factly says "Mom let's go find the rainbow God made"!!! Love it love it love it!!!!
seems he is listening and paying attention!!! YEAH!!!--- come back for the pic... for some reason I could not connect to my own network, and well if it were 9 oclock instead of 11:30, I actually might have investigated why......



Then there is Stephen, that child is going to make me crazy..... again pictures coming, but in December while on a scout camping expedition he took a road cone to the nose, yes you did read correctly road cone to the nose, they were playing a testosterone filled game of man hunt, and in an effort made by the opponent to distract him he threw a big, orange, road cone at him! Well, he was in fact successful in distracting him, and 6 stitches later and a trip to two emergency rooms, he was definitely distracted. That was in December, and since then we have dealt with mono, a broken hand, and the latest injury is... he has jammed the ring finger on his left hand, get this falling out of the pool. I am not sure if the Er is going to continue to see us with out calling social services too.... I am beginning to wonder.....


Now, for the best part of all..... We have officially stooped to the lowest level of worst parents EVER... or at least according to our resident teenager.. who is 17... we have FORCED, her to get a job, school ended in May, we gave her the entire month of June to locate gainful employment, which she did NOT do, so we took her to McDonalds, she was hired on the spot, imagine that... we took her Monday, orientation Tuesday and she started working on Wednesday, she is not enjoying it at all, or so she claims, but HERE is the BEST part of all, she came home today and said "mom, you know the girl that was at orientation with me, well her mom forced her to get a job too!"..... seems we are not the only parents that believe work to be a good thing, for all parties involved!!! (there are pics of her in uniform coming too!)
