ya, sure…school is over, but the drama is beginning. My oldest son isn’t acting the “OLDEST” in the least. I can’t get into it, but I let’s just say I don’t think he’s making very wise decisions. I guess at this point you have to sit back, pray, and remind yourself that you have spoken into his life for the last 17 years and he’s almost of an adult age and just hope he makes good choices.
Why is it that kids don’t see that they have it so good until they have to experience something life changing to realize it? I guess that’s the part that hurts as a Mom. If I could make all the decisions FOR him, I guess he wouldn’t learn anything. *SIGH* It saddens me. I just want him to get the point where he’s already learned everything so I don’t have to go through the pain.
So, if you think about it, keep me and Him (Zach) in your prayers. I will get through this. It’s growing pains after all for him.
Have a great weekend all!
Love,

I am almost there! Only 3 days left of school and then I’ll take my class to Knotts Soak City for their end of the year party and field trip. FUN FUN FUN! Although, with my ankle, I’ll just be sitting around with other moms and playing scrabble! Yes Scrabble! It’s our THANG! LOL
((BELLA IS HOME!!)) Rich brought Bella, his Search & Rescue Dog” home on Friday night from Gilroy (northern California). *shew* It’s been a long road and I am so proud of Rich and all the dedication he’s put into this program. Bella is a full labrador, and is beautiful. Mild mannered with still some puppy instincts, but overall very obedient. A HUGE applause to the people that train these animals. It’s almost a thankless job, but they are awesome! Welcome Bella to our family!
Today marks the 10th week since I broke my ankle. I have a doctor’s appt. to check and see how everything is healing. Eventually, they want to take out a screw that extends from one side of the ankle to the other. Now mind you, they want to do this in the office! *FAINT!* LOL They will do that sometime in the next month I assume.
I am loving walking again. Actually maybe a little too much. I always seem to find something to do which takes me away from blogging, computer stuff, mail, crafting, etc. That’s ok, I have a lot of catching up to do and it feels awesome. So don’t think I’m ignoring some of you, I just feel like a new person again! I can finally do ordinary Mom things again. Like bake cookies! 
Yesterday after church, Rich and I stopped by a few places and finally found some outdoor furniture to go with my chiminea (SP?) We also found a gazebo and put everything together yesterday and it looks amazing! We are redoing out backyard and this time it has to be drought tolerant. NEW watering guidelines took effect today! 
You can only water 3 times a week for 10 min. That’s it. They were saying on the news that a lot of people are going to be losing their landscaping. So we opted to buy succulents, add rock, and palms in order to at least landscape our huge backyard. We are also having a concrete walkway poured from the back patio to the pool. Why the people that lived here never did that I have no clue. But it makes for muddy feet when coming back up from the pool area. BLECK!
I’ll take pictures to show everyone. I love gardening!!! I’m having fun!
I’ll also be by to visit some of you today! So have a great week!

I am so thankful for our troops! I cannot imagine living the life of a military wife or husband. It is such a thankless and dangerous job sometimes for them to risk their lives so we can save the freedom this country was founded on. So from all of my family to yours we THANK YOU!
We are going to a pool party today for our group Wisdom for Moms. We thought it would be great to have our husband’s meet. I mean after all, we were meeting every Friday night for 3 months, I think the husband’s should know who we talk about.
Not much else going on. Thank goodness. Ever since I could start walking again, you’d think it was my first time. I am all over the place trying to get things done. I have over-done it a few days that’s for sure. I have to try to remind myself that I won’t get better in the long run if I don’t rest at times.
Hope every one else has a great weekend! One last good note, I lost another 2lbs. I am siked!
Blessings,
Kacy
