Well, Emily may be doing just fine in school, but home is another thing! She just wants to argue and sas and I'm at the end of my rope with her! We found out Tuesday that she has a SS project due on Monday, Sept 26. I told her we would do this weekend - to bring the info sheet home on Friday. Next weekend is the Okra Strut so I want it out of the way so we can go.
So, I just talked to her. She just got home from school. Did she bring her SS sheet home! Hell no! UGH!! I know what the project is - so I've told her to start a list! (Top 10 things that have happened in her life.)
Then I remembered Chasity is coming tomorrow. So, I called her back and told her to go clean her bathroom, bedroom and change the sheets on her bed. Whine, whine!
Last night was even worse! Sassy mouth!
At least she brought home all As on her interims!!! But gosh she is getting so sassy!

Long time, no post!
We'll I haven't done a very good job at keeping this thing up. Maybe I'll try again.
The kids are doing great. Emily has terrific with a capital T teachers this year. I love them! And Emily loves them! She really seems to enjoy school again! Thank God for that! Last year was awful for her - for all of us but thankfully we've put it behind us and moved on.
Emily is in AGP math this year. Suppose to be more challenging. Her grades have been great, so far. A averages in all classes so far.
She's walking to school and she loves that! And she's walked home some days. She is going to Safari on an as-needed-basis. Trying to save some money. She is also taking gymnastics on Monday nights. Well, really, it's tumbling but she loves it.
J.R. is still a little ham. He has finally started showing some interest in learning his numbers and letters. I'm not pushing him - if he doesn't get it now, he'll get it next year in kindergarden. He still like to punch things - trying to put a stop to that, but it hasn't been easy.
My dad wants to put him in karate but I'm so not ready for that. He is so little for his age. He will start t-ball in the spring. I think he'll be good at baseball. Looks like Emily is giving up softball.
Tim is in Augusta this week. Do to the cost of gas ($3 + per gall0n) and the early start time he is staying there all week. We'll see him on Friday - my day off!!
The kids start choir practice tonight. This is Emily's 6th year in it and J.R.'s 2nd. They both seem to enjoy it. Emily should get some bigger parts in the plays since she is older now.
We went to the beach for 6 days this summer. First time we've done that. Usually, it just been a weekend trip. We went the last week of July. It was the hottest week of the summer. 100 degree plus days and heat index was 110+. We stayed at the hotel a lot and used the pools. The kids had a ball. Chasity went with us, too. We did go to see "One" at the Alabama Theatre and it was great. J.R. didn't care to much for it and was ill by the end. He finally went to sleep on me during the FINALE! We also went to see "Herbie" at the movies. The theatre was nice and cool!
I guess I've caught up with the important stuff. So I sumed the last few months up into just a few paragraphs. Not sure if that is good or not - but that's us.
