The latest

For those who wondered, now that I have my license, I have been driving the bus daily, morning and afternoon. The fun part is trying to keep the kids in their seats and the noise level to a dull roar. I have a whistle I use when necessary. I've rearranged their seating twice in an attempt to keep problems to a minimum. The second change goes into effect Monday, so we'll see how many complaints I get!

My hubby is working like crazy! He is working overtime into the evenings almost every day. The paychecks have been great, but we hardly see each other. Hopefully, this is just for a season.

We are quitting yoga. My daughter, who was paying about half of our monthly membership fee, decided to try a gym instead. We really can't afford it without her. Also, we haven't been as much since we've been so busy, so we probably weren't getting our money's worth. And we really need to apply our money elsewhere. We ARE trying to get out of debt and onto the mission field.

The wedding plans are coming together. We've met with a decorator friend who has items to rent out to brides. Soon she'll be meeting with a friend who does beautiful and delicious cakes. She is still planning to have her maid of honor do her flowers -- either on her own or through the store where she works.

My older son is working at Kroger now in the meat department. This is his first "real job." He worked for the church doing set-up, which was very few hours. He also worked for a landscape lighting company, but that was very infrequent. Now he is getting regular hours (and pay) and wearing the uniform. He looks pretty good in the uniform! Now, if he can just keep his car running!

My younger son has had ups and downs in school. We upped his ADHD medicine dose, and that has helped some. He's still lacking in the motivation department most days. I sure would like to see him get on a long streak of getting it done! Summer school is looming large, ready to smack us in the face before long! I'm still smarting from last summer! For our school, summer school is the opportunity to finish the curriculum so that you can promote to the next grade. And I just remembered that summer school will happen while we are gone to Haiti with our church team. Bummer! I'm not sure how we'll deal with that! Never a dull moment around here!
