Mom's flowers

Mom fixed dinner for the family sunday so I took a few photos of a few of us.

Time at the pool

Amber and Grayson came over on the 19th to hang out at the pool. It has been so hot the pool has really come in handy each and everyday! I just got a new battery for my camera so I will be updating my pictures so be prepared! HA!

Update

Well, I thought I would update everyone on my new job. Last week I filled out papers and picked out and office. I don't officially start until Sept the 4th right after labor day. The beginning should just be about getting myself settled in and figuring out what cases will be mine. My supervisor is in desperate need of my help so she said she is more or less going to throw me in with the dogs. HA! It seems they have lost two employees to another department and to maternity leave. The supervisor has been taking on cases she hasn't done in five years. So, there won't be a lot of training. It will mainly be a lot of hands on training for me.

On September the 17th the company will be sending me to Virginia Beach for Foster Care new worker training with Oasis at VA Beach State Field Office. I am taking the kids with me along with my ex-mother in law, Becky, to watch the kids while I am in class. I figured I would take this opportunity to use the time as a vacation for the kids. I feel guilty about taking them out of school because I am a real stickler about "Perfect Attendance" but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Leon works night shift so it would be hard for me to leave and have tamra taken care of. Taylor could go and stay with my mom and she could take him to school but Tamra is another story. So, I asked the kids what they wanted to do and they chose the beach. HA! Imagine that! Hopefully they will have a good time.

Well, that is it for now. Wish me luck! I am currently feeling very sick and am hoping and praying I am over this by the time I start work. It started with a sore throat/stopped up nose and now it has become more about nausea! I can't make it go away and I just feel horrible! It makes me feel like I need to eat. Once I eat the nausea goes away but comes right back when I stop. I have changed to just drinking water everytime I feel sick. It helps for that one second! UGH!!!

Mamaw's new floor

I got a few pictures today of mamaw's new floor. It really looks good. The workers started on the front porch later in the day so it won't be finished until tomorrow, friday. I am anxious to see how it looks out there. The carpet before really looked bad! Mamaw really loves it so all is well! This last photo is of Mamaw talking to Dorothy about her floor! HA! She hates it when I get the camera out! As you can see she is in her famous uncomfortable seat!

Thursday (Back To School)

Today is the big day! School is back in session. I wish everyone the best of luck this year! Taylor will be in the 10th grade, Jared in the 8th, and Tamra in the 4th. It should be an interesting year. Good Luck to all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAYSON! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! LOVE, AUNT SANDI, UNCLE LEON, TAYLOR, AND TAMRA
