Another week has gone by and as usual, full of things
to do and never enough time to do it. Aww life. This past weekend, we had a
church social at our house on Friday evening. The weather was perfect; not too
hot, but not chilly. It was potluck and I had made a huge batch ofham and
beans.
I had also attended the opening of a new center at the college where I teach
computer classes. It was very well done (which the college always does), but as
I stayed to clean up—a wonderful thing happened. |

Two weeks ago was Easter and Tony came home with a girl. We were all so excited to meet her and she fit in so well with the family. Whether or not she becomes a member of the family remains to be seen, but we all vote a definite YES! I had been gone the weekend before on a trip to Utah and thus had been playing catch up all week. The laundry wasn’t done (and I might add) still isn’t done. I am still trying to get everything in order after 3 weeks of doing other things. We had the church’s children’s Easter activity at our house on Saturday morning. |

First of all, I went to Save-a-lot last week and bought 2 grocery carts full of canned goods. I hadn’t bought canned goods for more than six months and was out of just about everything. In that time, too, I had seen the prices drifting upwards and was worried that to replenish my stock it would be too expensive. The first cart was vegetables and cost me $149. That was an excellent price for so much food. The second cart had more expensive items such as Cream of Mushroom soup, pineapple, fruits, etc. |

Another week or so has gone by and as they say tragedy strikes in threes and it has. Another family in our church lost their wife and mother unexpectedly. We were in Houston for Spring break and Maria called me in the morning. She told me this woman had passed away. I just couldn’t believe it. Her older children are married, but she still had 13 and 17 –year-old daughters at home. Also, her husband is legally blind and so she did all the driving, paper work and so forth. He of course is devastated. |

What a roller coaster of a week. I had extreme moments of joy and extreme moments of frustrations. But such is life. One evening, I was alone in the house which is very rare and I was just crying and so I went to the computer and looked up the music to a new song I wanted to learn. I had seen the sheet music in our church’s magazine and I had tried to pick it out on the piano, but I am not very good at that. I did find it on YouTube and the music was incredible. I went from being sad and frustrated to feeling peace, comfort, and joy. |

Life keeps going on. I still am working about 20 hours per week and playing contractor, wife, mom, daughter and so on. I bought an antique closet and put it in my mom's bathroom and put all the blankets in it. I then brought down the cedar chest from the girl's room and put the more delicate things in it. That left me several shelves free in my mom's closet to use for pantry items. I moved all the home canned items to her closet and little by little I have been reorganizing and cleaning the main pantry. |

I just added pictures of our New York Trip (although, that still isn't all) and added pictures of the Tornado damage to our property. |

Sunday, we took the nursery children into the big class. We have three children that are already 3 years-old and they wanted to go. They went the previous week and did really well. We had just finished our lesson and the other things we do the first hour and were getting the toys out when one of the boys said, “I want to go to primary.” The other children agreed, so we put away the toys and went. The only problem is that we have two children that are only 18 months old and they are not ready. |

I keep promising myself that I will blog more often so I will not have to try and play catch up, but here I am again...almost a week gone by. Last Friday, I did a Business Communication Seminar for the college. They had received a grant through AT&T that was to be used for Leadership Development. The participants are all second language learners, but are in school or working on a vacation. They were a great group. You could feel the energy coming from them. They have drive, desire, are humble, and therefore make great learners. |

Another very long, but productive week. Work has picked up and I have added another training session, and I have one more that I am still negotiating a proposal that keeps going back and forth. It is very technical and so I have been trying to learn what I will need to know so I won't be a dummy standing in front of all the trainees. Also, to come up with activities or a training that will cover the technicalities and specifications, but not bore the participants is going to be hard. I have been tossing around some ideas, but have not decided yet exactly what to do. |
