Viva!

Hmm...quick life update since I haven't blogged much lately. Only a few family issues but over all, things have been really quiet. Hence the lack of blogging.

So, least important info first. One of those guys that sells meat out of his truck because he "bought too much and has to get rid of it" showed up at my door today. I'm in my Pink (brand) pajamas, green with recycling emblems all over them and a violet Emily Strange shirt. My hair is hanging messy (I haven't brushed it yet) and I have a big white glob of face cream on a zit on the left side of my face. I actually don't look too bad considering, but I am a bit of a mess. I step outside half way, he's on the other side of the stairs, "is your mother or father home?" he asks. "I am the mother." I smile. He pitches me and I tell him we don't really eat red meat. I send him on to torture the neighbors. Perhaps if he had a catchy jingle on his truck like the ice cream man, he'd sell more. People lined up for miles to get their meat-cicles. I would have to ask my parents first though, I mean if it's ok to have one before dinner:)

In other news, we're waiting to hear back from the owner of a house we've fallen in love with, for a lease to own. We're also waiting to hear about a big job that would turn the lease into an own much faster. We're praying SO HARD!!!!

Unfortunately, we got a bit behind on Lu's schoolwork this year with all the um...crap. So we're on a mad dash but we're almost there which means she'll get a bit of time off for summer and then we'll start fourth grade fresh in September.

Lu is enjoying Vacation Bible School this week and making new friends, yea! I think we've decided on continuing AWANAS next year, along with CYT, basketball and possibly Future Farmer's of America or Girl Scouts. As for the summer. I've been madly working on my memoir and am planning on helping grow Lu's artistic talents. Jude has a job in L.A. next week and we're planning on going up with him. Lucy collects American Girl dolls and we've been promising her forever to go to the store in L.A., so.... We have a deal with her too, there are six books for each girl and when she finishes reading an entire series, she gets the doll. She's been reading a lot:) She even has the Kit movie (the first released in actual theaters), air date memorized for the last six months. She's planning on bringing her Kit doll to watch it too.

Latest book- Marya Hornbacher's Madness, A Bipolar Life. Her book Wasted is one of my favorites.

I guess that's all for now. I have to try and talk Regent University into letting me defer my start date one last time to the beginning of the year. I hope they'll let me. Welp, uh gu bu, uh gu bu, uh gu bu, that's all folks.
