Update On Life

Just feel like logging how life is going today. Please bear with me.

Arion - We are coming along on the list. I got back the medical forms that need to be sent in and all the shots and tests are done. We discovered that they don't make nursing shoes in a size for Arion, so he talked to the school and he can wear all white sneakers. After 2 stores we found a pair of Nike that will work. We have started piling up his stuff in the living room so he has room to pack his cloths. I told him he needs to have his winter stuff packed by next Monday. Arion made the first payment to the school. It makes me feel proud that he is helping to pay the way. I know so many families where the kid just expect the parents to do it all and they should just go and have fun. I think this will make it mean more in the end. I have told Arion that if he does good this year and gets his drivers license that I will give him the Camry.

Lauren - Tomorrow is her Birthday. We will be having her party next Saturday at the Beauty School. I am hoping that some girls show. It is always a problem, with people on vacation. Otherwise, Lauren is enjoying her summer and loves summer school.

Brandon - Today Brandon asked to take his medicine. It kind of threw me. I had asked if he wanted juice and his response was "yeah, and my medicine". I asked him if he liked how it made him feel and if it made him calmer. He said yes, but I'm not sure he understood the question. I'd like to believe that he did. He still complains about going to school every morning and really wants his old teacher. I guess it's a good thing that he will be in the same class next year.

Me - Things are going better at work. I can't believe I've had the new crew for 6 months. I think I have found a part-time job. The local K-mart is opening an appliance section and are looking for people to man it. It pay hourly plus commission. Jim and I discussed me getting a second job. Things are just getting too tight around here and with the kids needing after school care and Arion being in college, we need the extra money.

That about sums it up.
