Welcome to spring

Welcome to Spring. For all of you who don't know me, I am not, I repeat not, an outdoor girl. That being said, when we moved into this lovely farmhouse last fall, I became the official lawn mower. Glenn's dad was nice enough to find me a self-propelled push lawnmower to complete the task. Glenn was usually nice enough to weed eat since I am still scared of that contraption. But, as spring has sprung and Glenn is now working an night job, he decided that when he is not working both jobs he can do the lawn. But, guess what? One mow with a push mower and we were at good 'ole Aaron's Lease & Purchase looking for a new Poulan. He was quite depressed when he sold his last spring. We lived in a condo last spring in Florida and did not need it nor had any intention of needing it.

On Saturday we stopped in at Aaron's to get one and they were backordered. :< Well on Monday, Glenn expected me to call them and see where his was! What a doof!!! Does he understand the meaning of backorder??? On Tuesday, I got a call that the one on the floor was for a woman who decided she did not want it for another week so they were giving it to us. I had to finish up homeschooling Cam and drive down there to complete the paperwork. On Wednesday morning the mower was delivered and Glenn rushed to wax it and do a quick mow before he had to go tint a car. I asked if I could use it and NO. Amazing, when it was a push mower I could do all I wanted but with the rider it was no, I'll handle it. But, he gave in and I got to finish the backyard and it was so fun, I mowed the neighbors front yard. Without their knowledge or permission!!!! I know the neighborhood is happy though as the neighbors only do their front yard about once a month.

On a happy note, I'm excited that lovely red tulips have popped up in the garden next to the fireplace. I'm not really a tulip person, but they are beautiful and I have found a new love of them.

I've fallen behind on my devotional and Bible reading, but still pray daily asking God to watch over my family near and far and to watch over the evangelists and missionaries who have made it their lives to bring others to know the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

My diet and workout at Jazzercise continues, not without it's hiccups though. I started out 5-6 days a week and I'm down to 3 days a week. I cheat on the diet occasionally, but not as bad I as usually do.

Cameron- what can I say? He's an incredibly intelligent young man with too much energy. Homeschooling is working wonders for him. We got started late and I had my own version of ADD this year. So, we are only starting month 7 of 8 of school. A little love and cooercion and I've managed to convince Cam to do two days of school each day so we can be done by the end of May or beginning of June. I'm not sure who is more tired of school? Him or Me. His current ADD med is working great he only takes 1/3 of the dose daily and I up it to 1/2 of we have a long day and his ODD is getting out of control. I've only done that 2 or 3 times since February. He seems to understand what I am saying, why I am saying it and follows the rules better. The Hgh treatment is going smoother than I expected. Anyone who has seen him with needles would expect it to be a dramatic, screaming fest nightly. But, it's not. He helps with the shot and even reminds us. I love this kid so much and I like him more and more each day.

Kelly-now that's my one true love. I miss her daily and wish only the best for her. She is having trouble keeping her grades up and that worries me. I think she is moving past James' issues and standing up for herself. I'm starting to see the Kel I raised shine through and that excites me. I wish she were here with me so I could help her. She does not want to leave her friends and I understand that but it does not make it any easier.

To all our friends and family who read this and future posts, welcome! I started this so everyone can see how our lives are progressing and to get my feelings out. Life is getting better everyday. 10 years of marriage and I feel like it gets stronger everyday.
