Please pray for Amy (Pharris) Balty


I have never done this on my blog, but think this is appropriate. I have a friend that I went to high school with, that has been suffering some real physical problems. I had not had contact with Amy, since she graduated a couple years prior to me. One day while browsing web pages, I found hers and have reconnected via this media. She has three little boys who need their mommy, and she really needs a Touch from Jesus. There is a possibility that she might lose her eyesight and she is battling a serious infection. Amy's blog has been a real inspiration to me, and I have loved the way she has been so 'real' with her post. Even in the midst of this battle she has remained true and strong. I am sure that she would appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers for her as well as for her family. You can read her blog here:http://amy-claudine.blogspot.com/ .

Libby's Pic


This is the picture that I promised you several weeks ago of Libby and her teacher. This lady is a real jewel, and has helped Libby tremendously. Thank You Mrs. Whitlock!!
Jordan is going to sectionals wiht the B-Ball team!!! He is so excited and I am happy for him.
Alayna brought home her mid tearm with all A and B's!!!! I was so worried about her..... all for nothing!!!!! She is doing well!!
Austin is also doing good and is flourshing in this school environment.
In other news my stats class is done this week!! Surprisingly I have really enjoyed the class and have learned useful information. The best news about the class...is that I will finish my class with a 99% Hopefully I will be able to maintain a high grade average as I continue. I have found that as I am a older student, I am expecting perfection. When I went to nursing the first time right out of high school I really didn't care.....I just wanted to pass. Now I want to pass, but only with a perfect score. Probably a good trait....but causes lots of stress~~!!! My next class will begin on Monday. It is a management communications class, it sounds interesting.
My life is kinda boring right now, I will post more as it gets exciting....hopefully with more pictures!!!

Mama is proud!!

CAUTION......If you don't want to hear a proud mom brag on her child don't read this.....it is my blog so I can do it!!!!

I am so proud of my 'lil Libby!!! Libby is in forth grade and has an awsome teacher that she loves and seems to love her back. She (her teacher) has been working on building up Libby's self confidence. She knew that Libby has been taking violin lessons, so she asked her to bring it in and play Amazing Grace for her class. I was surprised, as I didn't think in public school that they would want a hymn.....however that was the request because it was mentioned in one of the stories they had been reading for story time. So.....on Friday Libby toted her violin in to class. She played for her room first. Her teacher was so pleased that she asked Libby if she would play for all the forth grade classes. So......Libby got to play for all the forth grade!!!!! Libby was so excited (I was too!! can you tell!!). She said she was shaking like a leaf!!! Anyway.......she made this ole mama proud!!!!!!! I will post pics later.

In other news....I have a ten page critique due this week, so I am working like a crazy woman to try to complete it. I am preparing a hospital for a Joint Commission Survey, I helped to make a paper mache' gorilla this week, helped a franic firstgrader to read the word watermelon, assisted with the making of a milk jug bird feeder and have been taxi service too many times to count!!!!! This is the life that I love.....truly!!! :*)

Please don't look at my spelling......I can't get spell check to check!!!! grrrrrrrr
