Kids are Back to School

Well you can see our Christmas was great!!!! Matt and I had off and we were all together. It was a really nice Christmas. I missed going to Pa but I hope next year we are able to. I miss my family.

I hope everyone else had a Very Blessed Holiday!!!!!!!!

I didn't notice Hope was over my head until I saw this pic. Anyway lost count on what career I am on-My Best friend Wendy said the average person has 5 careers in their life---My mom always said I was average.

So I finally got thru the part-time Basic Police Academy in Pittsford Vermont. Not easy for my ever aging brain!!!! I am Special Deputy Prouty. I will loose the special as soon as I finish 100hours of FTO program---Momma always said I was SPECIAL, too!!

I am also working as Sub for Rutland Public Schools, transporting prisioners at night and part-time on call Respit Care Provider---oh and mom - when I have time wife!

Life changes so fast-hope I can keep up.

OUT OF SCHOOL-AT LAST

I hear some parents are upset to have the kids home-I love having them here. I love having them with me and spending time together. The are great Kids! The all did very well in school this year-esp the end-I think it may be because I was home-yes the cafe closed-that sucked-but I get to be home now and I am trying to enjoy every min-allot of sad event have happened this year that have forced me to grow up a bit and also brought me closer to knowing God is always right next to me-and you too probably-but you know I like to think it is all about me -hehe.
So Kyle really picked it up and he got the A.C.E. award and the presidential Fitness Award-top honors-he wants to go the West Point someday. He had a graduation thing at school but didn't tell me when it was-he thought it was stupid to graduate 6th grade-maybe so-but oh well-we missed it. Paige got all B's and one A. She is smart-hard year-girls are mean in school but I think we are ok now. The boys did great-Henry starts 3rd in a big school next year an Spencer in 2nd! All are healthy and looking forward to alot of swimming!!!!!!-neighbor got a new pool-yeah for us!
We are Remembering all we have lost but not forgetting all we still have!!

No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Last Sunday June ? -Ok I may not remember dates well but I do and will remember that day! Woke up praying for the Peck's and their family. So I decided to go over to see my friend Diane who I saw the night before - her grandmother had just come home from the hospital and was not doing well. I talked her into going to the store and gettin out awhile - she was gone 45 mins and as she pulled back into her driveway her grandmother had taken her last breath-I was a bit upset to say the least. I feel blessed I was able to read psalms and pray for her to have some relief from all of the pain she had been experiencing. Then Diane came in and we screamed and cried spoke with the police, emergency workers, and funeral director and it was over. That is how it goes in the end - we carry it but they get to let it go. Through the grace of God I am learning to let go more and more and I have never had any peace -I am enjoying what I am allowing God to give me-just need to give up more control!!!! TIME--------So on to the monkey-you would think my day would have gotten better. IT DID NOT! Went to the store again with Diane to get food-we knew many would be by the house today-as soon as we had gotten home-food in the house-Kyle and Ethan were running to us yelling "Spencer is hurt-his pee-pee is hurt!" I never ran so fast in all my life - what now-I got to him he was in a panic and yes bleeding and chaos! ended up he had been jumping from his bed to Henry's and landed on the post----He just missed his penis(thank you God) cut his scrotum and leg-5 stitches. He was fine - is fine---but not a lesson was learned-this morning we are going to get his stitches removed-I went in to changed the bandage and what do you think he was doing------JUMPING ON THE BED! I said "Spencer what are you doing?" he said "Come on it won't happen again!" Kids-that is all I can say-KIDS!!!!
You know I would be a great mother if it were not for all theese kids!

In God's Hands

This is where I am putting it all-please pray for my next steps in the cafe. It is starting to look up-business is getting better, but there is new drama-please pray for God to speak to me and guide me. I know it will turn out and his best will come! I will update as soon as I can share!
