Had to remind Caleb AGAIN that while Jesus does trump everything, he probably shouldn't play rock, paper, scissors, Jesus.

Watch out, Kindergarten! Here comes Hot Sauce!

I had one of the best meals I've ever had: a bologna, cheese & mayo wrap with a Dr. Pepper for lunch. How could I call that one of the best meals? you ask. Because Caleb just brought it to me and I didn't know he was making it. We were down to the end pieces of bread and the last tortilla and he made it for me before he even had anything. (I did tell him where another tortilla was, so he is having a wrap for lunch).

I made my last daycare payment EVER yesterday and headed to Kindergarten open house tonight. I think I might do a dance!

Garrett (5): "Mama, you're always wrong." Me: "You're probably going to think that for the next 30 years. In the meantime you still have to do what I say."

Dewayne's final GPA for his M.Div. was 3.60. I'm very proud of him considering while
he was in school he worked full-time, ministered, & we had our 3rd
child who was hospitalized at birth and has had multiple surgeries (not
to mention still making time for friends & family).

Couldn't be prouder of Caleb & Sam. They both got straight A's for their last 6 wks, 2nd semester & year avgs.

Registered Garrett for daycare starting Monday & got in all his paperwork for Kindergarten registration on Monday! Thank you, Jesus!

2011 February
Monday, February 28, 2011
This would be a lot easier if I had kept up with it the last 3 weeks. Nonetheless I'm going to try to wrap up February with an update.
Caleb has been quite the busy boy. He had soccer tryouts, chess club, Beta club, a church event and a friend over to spend the night all within a week.
We made a trip to Shriners in Lexington on the 15th. They are pleased with how well Garrett is doing. He has a new brace that he wears to bed when we remember to put it on him. He goes back April 29 for x-rays and another check-up.
I had the Encounter the 18th-20th. It was an amazing weekend. Women were delivered from drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Some were saved and some were baptized in the Holy Spirit. It's wonderful to be part of such an impactful ministry. I had a great time being with the leadership team, too.
Caleb & Sam got report cards Friday. Caleb got A's in everything except TN History. He missed an A by 1 point. It was his first B all year. Sam got A's in everything except Language Arts. I think it was his second B all year. They are doing a great job!
Saturday the boys and I went all over the place. We went to Toys R US, Southeastern Salvage & Sam's in Chattanooga. Of course the boys HAD to have pizza and icees at Sam's. We went to Publix in Ooltewah on the way home. I spent around $35 and saved around $70. We came home and put away the groceries while Garrett napped. Then we went to Walmart and got sunglasses for me and tennis balls, which was followed by a trip to Deer Park. The big boys played tennis and football. Garrett played on nearly everything at the park.
Yesterday we had the men's Encounter luncheon after church, then soccer registration, then we ran a few errands. We bought an enormous crate for Bruiser. We're going to try to start keeping all the dogs inside all the time since we can't keep them in the fence when we are not there. We'll see how it works. Today we are watching the weather and hoping the storms and tornadoes go around us. Caleb has chess after school. His school, Ocoee Middle, is playing Cleveland Middle.

Sam missed school again today, so I took him to the doctor.
It's just a bad cold virus; probably the same one that made me so
miserable last week. Caleb found out yesterday that he made the school
chess team. We are quite proud of him for that.
I made it through last week somehow.
I tried to rest as much as possible which is always a challenge for me.
We had church Wednesday night, I had Encounter meeting Thursday night,
and we enjoyed having our friends over Friday night. Sam woke up
Saturday with fever and aches. We have been treating him with an OTC flu
med, and it seems to be helping. He hasn't had a fever since yesterday,
but still didn't feel very good today, so I kept him home from school. I
had to miss Sunday morning church for the second week in a row.
Hopefully I'll get to go next Sunday. We're not football watchers, but
we enjoy watching the Super Bowl. I made a fruit & veggie tray, a
nut tray, deviled eggs, pigs-in-a-blanket, and chips with salsa and
cheese dip. Dewayne made hot wings and bbq smokies. Oh and Saturday I
went to Bi-Lo. Subtotal bf savings=206.62; after 93.12 for a savings of
55%.
