Busy News Day``

Today has been a busy news watching day! We are under the threat of very severe thunderstorms and have tornado warnings. Many people have died in these storms so I am taking them quite seriously! We have also been following the search for the missing 20 year old mom in North Conway. Sadly it sounds like they may have found her and she may be dead. This is just an unconfirmed rumor for now. Shawn has been resting on the couch for the better part of the day. I think he feels better than he did this morning. Kate Lynn finished getting the house nice and clean and then went grocery shopping. It has been a pretty busy, but not hectic day! I ask that folks will just pray for that missing mom and her family in New Hampshire!

Storms!

 Up early, Shawn is pretty sick this morning,so I had to drive Kelly to school. I am so not a morning person!! We are waiting on some pretty nasty thunderstorms!  Other than that not sure what the day has in store! Right now I am battling Kate Lynn's "storm", she woke up on the wrong side of the bed! And is having a fit over her mp3 player!! Ugh!! It is going to be one of those mornings! I am off to finish my coffee and then see what I can do about cleaning this house! I need to get rid of all the germs before we are all sick!

Opportunities!

After much consideration, a whole lot of investigation and even more discussion; Shawn,Kelly and I have signed Kelly up for Job Corp. She goes Monday, May 2cnd for orientation. If she is accepted, she would complete high school through the Corp and then move onto career training and college. She could even have the opportunity to take driver's education through them. The public school system in Montgomery has been disappointing and we needed to look at different options. This looks like a fantastic opportunity for Kelly. Some of you may know Kate Lynn had considered Job Corp, she continues to say she still wants to join..just not here. So early in May we are praying we will have the finances to put her on a plane headed back to New England. Once she is there I pray that she will follow through with signing up for Job Corp in Maine. She is 20 years old now, so it is up to her what happens after she gets off the plane. My sister has graciously offered to allow Kate Lynn to stay with her if Kate Lynn would like to. It is definitely a time for change in this family! Please be in prayer that things will go well. On an interesting note, Shawn and I could be on our own as early as this summer! What in the world are we going to do with ourselves?! I told Shawn I always knew that someday both girls would be out of the house, I just hadn't expected it so soon or at about the same time! Kelly is a little nervous about the prospect of having to leave home so soon, she is, all though, excited by the possibilities. Because the program is accelerated she could be have her high school diploma and beginning career training and college well ahead of her friends. Boy oh boy.......

It is Tuesday

hmmmm.... It is Tuesday! I will leave it at that for now!

Down Falls

There are down falls to Shawn visiting with Ricky, the biggest suddenly are unable to tell time! The only condition to Shawn going over to visit with Ricky was that he remembered to pick Kelly up from school. When 3pm came and went it was all to clear Kelly had been left to walk home. I called Ricky's and sure enough they did not know what time it was and Shawn was still there. I hung up on Ricky and raced down the block, trying to meet up with Kelly. Her book bag weighs a ton and the temps have been in the high 80's with high humidity, pair that with a 2 mile walk and there is nothing pleasant about a walk home from school. Shawn arrived home around 4pm, knowing all too well he would be met by grumpy women! Next time he goes to Ricky's for a visit, I will call an hour before Kelly is to be picked up to ensure she is not forgotten! I wish I could tell you it was cooler, it is if you consider cooler to be 79 degrees! We truly need to get some air conditioners or at the very least some fans in this house! Other than that it has been a quiet Monday. I just enjoyed a fudgicle on the front porch! How is that for excitement!

Enjoying some Quiet

Shawn has been at his friend Rickys' all afternoon. Kate Lynn and I spent the 15 minutes needed to clean the house. We have been so hoping for rain and when it rained for all of maybe 30 seconds, we missed it! There is still a cloudy looking sky, so just maybe!! It has been a pretty lazy Monday or maybe I have been lazy!! Shawn and Kelly should be coming home in just a short while.  So I had better enjoy the quiet while I have it!

Prayer for Missing Mom

Well it is Monday, another new week. No plans right now, still being prayerful God will open all doors that are holding Shawn's retro disability check. We had a good Easter am I so happy for that! I am going to try to stay optimistic and to keep a hopeful heart and a sense of humor. I hope you all a have a good Monday! Please, be in prayer..There is a 20 year old woman missing in North Conway,NH (the town we moved from). Someone found her car running in a parking lot with her 14 month old baby in the car seat. The baby is just fine. No one has any idea where the mom is!
