Word of the Month- Perseverance

Ugh. That is about all I have to say. For some reason, this semester has been a tough one. I am glad it is almost done. I have really had to give myself a good pep talk -- daily--- in order to get everything done and carry on with daily life.
 We have had some neat spiritually life altering experiences lately, and it has been wonderful. :) It has made the tough times a lot easier, and has been a way to put things into an eternal perspective.
 Trenton is almost 8! Holy smokes! We are planning his bday, AND his baptism. Another happy event to keep me motivated.
 Joe is registered for Kindergarten :( my baby .. sniffle sniffle.. will be in school. He tested well and is all set and ready.
 Benji.. is cute as can be and a charmer beyond words! Oh my oh my.. that boy is a different breed for  sure. He is really into puzzle right now and playing on the computer right now. It is great.
 Rex's teeth are healing nicely and he is feeling a lot better. He looks awesome!!
 So, I have learned this past month, to keep pushing along as hard as I can, every day, and I get more done. If I dwell and sit and complain... nothing happens and I just stress more. I have been getting up early, making myself get my list done before anything else, and making myself take my tests, go to class, and get my projects done. It is paying off.
