Glad Tuesday is gone!

Well, another Wednesday is off and running. We are glad yesterday is over. Spence had a little issue at school yesterday, and I went and ate with him, since he was sentenced to a "silent lunch" for his violation. I couldn't stand the thought of him sitting all by himself, so I took the opportunity to go and sit with him, and we had ourselves a little visit.

He has a classmate that likes to get him in trouble. She talks and wiggles and screams, and Spence tries to quiet her. He always seems to speak up at the wrong time. Yesterday, he decided instead of letting a teacher know she was antagonizing him, that he'd just take care of it himself. His teacher made him call me to tell me what he'd done, punishment for his bad behavior. He ended up spitting in her face!!! OMG! I don't have any idea where he saw that -- he claims one of his buddies did it once. I was SOOOO disappointed in him, because he's such a sweet kid, and just doesn't do these kinds of things normally.

I got his spirits up before I left the school, because he was very upset during his lunch. He went and played with his friends and had a good recess, and then I had to leave, but he told me he wanted to talk more about what happened today with Daddy and me after school.

He and Daddy had a discussion last night, and I think we're alright now. He apologized to the little girl and to his teacher before I even got to the school, so he knows it was wrong. But OMG! I was just floored!

So, we're off to school today with a better attitude, and Mommy's gonna talk to the teacher again about making some changes in the classroom (since Spence is frustrated with this little girl ALL the time!).

It's funny, I mentioned Dr. Phil in my blog yesterday, and I might need him again today!!!

Well, have a great day, all. I needed a joke, so I found one -- hope you like it!

A judge was punishing three men because they had committed a crime. Their sentence was a few years in the desert. He said that they could each take one thing with them.

The first guy decides to take an umbrella, so that he can have shade whenever he wants.

The second guy decides to take a water bottle so that he won't get thirsty.

Finally, the third guy decides to take a car door.

The judge asked, "Why in the world would you want to take a car door?" The man replies, "Just in case it gets hot, I can roll down the window."

Oh Jess I know how hard that was for Spence. Once when Damion was in school and not very old the teacher did a segregation day where all the kids were either 'white' and everyone could talk to them, play with them, eat with them etc. and then several (Damion being one of them) were 'black' and he had to sit by himself for lunch and no one could talk to him or play with him. However he wasn't told that this was what was happening - he was so upset and I didn't know about it until school was out. I thought I would never get him to go back to school and that was sad because up until that day he thought school was just the BEST place to be.

Jess,
Glad u went to the school to help Spence out. I know what you mean on how he has a school mate that won't be nice or leave him alone. It is hard for kids that age to act accordingly without getting into trouble. Hope the best for him and a good outcome...;)

Really not much going on here today. I've been studying like a mad man, it's cold here, kids are busy, same old same old. I did find out yesterday my Aunt Marlene (Mom's sister) has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She is doing some chemo treatments in the next couple weeks, and we'll see where it goes from there -- please keep her in your prayers. I also need prayers for my friends still struggling financially. Times are tough, and we all have to make sacrifices we typically wouldn't, but hang in there -- it will all be worth it in the end. One resource I can recommend on money expertise is DaveRamsey.com -- he's the guy responsible for the Financial Peace University that Jason and I took a couple of years ago. We wouldn't be where we are today if we hadn't taken advantage of that valuable resource. There is a link on the right side of my blog to his website -- check it out. I'd also be willing to talk to you about his information, too. Let me know! ...

Christmas Lists

I finally took a few moments and got the Christmas lists posted for our family!  I find it hard to believe we are at this point in the year already.  This has been a crazy year, full of roller-coaster emotions, such busy times, a few slow times, losses for some, gains for many, but it has been another year passed nonetheless. This year, we've seen many changes, and with each change, we learn a little bit more about who we are and what we're capable of. I'm going into this holiday season with a warm heart, and I hope you will too.  God has great things in store for all of us, and I can't wait to see each morning what He's prepared for me. Happy Holidays! Side note about the lists -- This is verbatim what the kids had on their lists, and I did not split the list between any of the family, so plan accordingly.  We won't be concerned about duplicates, as we enjoy shopping for ANY reason.  We're grateful for the thought you put into each gift, and are tha...

   This past weekend, we traveled to Deadwood with my “work family”, and had a great time. Some of the guys went golfing up near Sturgis (Boulder Canyon) during the morning, but most of us ladies had spent the morning checking out the sales in the citywide garage sales. We started off the trip by meeting together at the office and “caravan-ing” the ladies to the Prairie Berry Winery. With Jason’s back being injured recently, he wasn’t up for golf, so he decided to be our “DD”…          I had never been to a wine tasting, nor a winery, and never had been to Prairie Berry.  It snowed on us on the way up (see photo at right). What an enjoyable experience it was! We were allowed to try up to five wines, (only a half an ounce each), so I tried a variety, albeit most of them were the sweet wines. I am just not a fan of dry or bitter wines. I ended up purchasing some of their infamous “Red Ass Rhubarb” and some “Calamity Jan...
