Blog

Well, I haven't actually been to bed yet.  I'm working on it.  I hate when the sun goes down.  That's the worst part of the day for me.  Everyone goes to bed and I'm still up wide awake by myself.  I run out of things to do.  It's never what I need to do that I'm doing.  Sigh....

I'm eating corn flakes at the moment and I will be taking Connor to summer school in about 5 hours.  I have to go to Walmart today and get some stuff for the house.  If I had this stuff, I could keep the house more organized but it's hard to convince Chad of that....

Well, Chad and I went on a date yesterday evening.  We went out to eat and then we went to the movies.  I enjoyed myself.  Connor went fishing that night with my parents.  They didn't catch anything because it was too cold.

 Well, I guess I'll write later....my corn flakes are getting soggy.

 Until next time, God Bless!

Hello!  I hope this blog finds you all blessed!  It's been a rough few weeks for my family since my dad's sick and we don't know what's going to happen next.  My family has been spending as much time as possible with my parents.  We are taking lots of pictures and making lots of memories.  I have faith that God will restore him fully and that the mass on the MRI will disappear when they redo it Monday.

Well, My dad's birthday is on the 4th of this month, my birthday is on the 11th of this month, Connor's birthday is the 13th of this month, my parent's are celebrating an anniversary this month, my best friend Tracy's birthday is this month, Thanksgiving is this month, and I'm starting back working again this month.  Busy busy busy...   

Connor lost his first tooth today at my parent's house.  He never even told me it wiggled and then he showed me today that it was majorly loose.   A few seconds later, he was handing me the bloody thing!  I about lost my breakfast.  He showed me where he lost it and asked me if it was bleeding.  I was like noooooo.....get a towel!!!...

Well, today was a blah day. We are getting what is left from the hurricane.  It has done a mixture of mist, rain, pour, no rain, no wind, wind, lots of wind....  It was not as hot and humid so I didn't mind the weather.

I took Connor to school today sick and all.  He's just got a really nasty cough that ends up giving him dry heaves.  I got medicine for him but it makes him drowsy so he can't have it at school.  He got his fourth sad face in a row at school today.  His teacher says that he's not respecting other kid's space.  She says he's always hugging his classmates and wanting to put his arms around a certain girl and put his hands on the other kids.  All I could think was 'He's a Pentecostal boy!  That's what they do!'   Ha Ha...  He's learned two bible verses and I'm so proud of him.  I ask him to recite them and he can.  As a matter of fact, he's in the room with me and I just asked him to recite them.  "I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" and "All things were made by Him."  Yay!!!  He's getting...

Psalm 118:24  (Amplified Bible)

- This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Good Morning!  I pray that this day finds you all blessed!  It's after 1:30 a.m. and I'm still up cleaning.  It's hard to believe that it's September already.  Oh how the months fly by!!!  I'm soo excited about this month.  Chad and I are diligently working on flipping our home.  We are selling it and it's exhausting to even think about all the things that one has to do to get a house ready to place on the market.   We are painting Connor's room, ripping up carpet, putting down hard wood flooring in most of the house.  We have some other rooms that are going to be painted.  I am de-cluttering the house of the seven years of buildup.  Chad and I are both pack rats.  I just got rid of a few big totes of Connor's toys.  Chad's brother took them with him along with Connor's baby changing station.  That was a blessing because I really didn't want to have to pawn that stuff off on Good WIll and I think they'd have killed me if they ever found me!!!  I had lot's of little toys that I threw in the totes like lincoln logs and...

Well, I had to call Connor in sick on his 

third day of school.  Someone gave him 

a cold.  He's playing with my mother right

now and he sounds terrible.

On a lighter note, I got two pink lines on my 

test this morning.  **Biting my nails.**  We'll 

see what happens.  I said when Connor starts

 school but I didn't mean this quick...LoL.

 TTY Later,

Samantha

Well, today was Connor's first day of school.  So far, so good.  He didn't get any notes sent home from school stating he was uncontrollable.  His teacher did tell Chad that he didn't want to stay seated and that he didn't listen very well.  She told Chad she felt that he would get better.  I hope so.  He was soo excited this weekend and kept wanting to get his backpack out of the closet so we could go.  When we took him, he was very excited to meet his teacher and see his class.  His teacher took him to the gym at the beginning before school because all the students meet up with their class there in the mornings.  She told him to tell me bye and he turned around looked at me, said bye, turned around and ran off.  That was it...no kiss or hug.  That's when I realized that he's growing up and that he's going to become less and less dependant upon me and Chad.  That makes me soo sad.  Why does he have to grow up?!?  When he came home from school, he didn't even tell me about his day nor did he give me a...

I can't believe August is almost over already.  Time has flown by this year.  Wow!  Anyway, it's been a while since I last blogged and I'm sorry for that.  Life has been happening before my eyes and I have been enjoying it.  My little guy starts school at Unity Christian tomorrow.  He's soo excited.  When we took him to Sunday School today he wanted to take his back pack.  I was like, 'no, it's not school school it's Sunday School.'  He was a little dissappointed.  Anyway...speaking of Connor going to school.  Chad is going with me to show him his room and meet the teacher.  I am nervous.  I have been told by three different people that I will probably cry when I have to leave him there.  I hope not...at least not in front of Connor.  Sigh...

We went to Anna Landmark Pentecostal Church today.  It's 'The Church That Cares'!    Anyway, it was LeeAnn's birthday and she requested that we go there with her.  It was funny setting in the row we were setting in.  Lets just say there was a  lot of money setting on our row.  Two rich guys and then the owner of a McDonald's were setting next...

I just noticed today that halloween stuff is out already at the stores.  Back to school again!  It's coming up on fall.  I am going to plan ahead and get Connor a nifty costume this year.  No more of that last minute thrown together costume that didn't fit right and didn't look right.  My son will be stylin' and profilin' this Hollow's Eve.  Some say All Hallows Eve gets it's roots from a pegan tradition.  I don't care how it came about.  It's all about the costume and the candy baby!  I am not gonna' take part in anything sac religious or pegan.  I know the boundaries. 

Well, I got an extension on my unemployment for 12 more weeks. That's great!  I'm glad the president allowed that and it was soo easy to get the extension once my 6 months of unemployment ran out.  I'm being blessed yet again.  God makes a way when there isn't a way!

Speaking of God making a way, He opened a door of opportunity for us.  Our son is getting to go to Unity Christian school for pre K.  It's quite expensive but we're able to swing it due to some certain individuals contributing to...
