Anna Lauren is doing so well in fifth grade. What a beautiful child God has blessed Brent and me with! She is smart, talented, funny and a little neurotic! Gotta love her, bless her, she's my mini me! She will begin soccer soon! She took a break last year, so she is back, full force!
Today was a very trying day! Cole pulled a muscle in his back, which meant he could not practice or play until they found out the extent of the injury. Helping him is so difficult, because he is 2 hours away, and Brent and I can't get to him as easily. Thank Goodness, Brent was off today to make the necessary calls to the insurance company!

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, we found out the doctor was in our network! Praise the Lord! So, he was x-rayed and examined and it turns out he has a pulled muscle (which we knew) and a vertebrae that's a little "whampy". The doctor gave him some stretching exercises that should eradicate the problem...Hallelujah!

God has blessed me with a wonderful job...His timing could not have been better, because if I had tried to assist in Kindergarten any earlier, I probably would not have been as calm...which is scary, because my nerves tend to wear a bit thin at times!

But, I am so glad I have a Cole in my room. So I get to say a name I LOVE to say MANY TIMES A DAY...trust me. The great thing about this sweet little boy is he LOVES to give hugs and kisses, which is just what I need! Especially on days like today, when I can't hug or kiss my boy!

That has been my day, in a nutshell, with few omissions...I hope your day has been blessed and tomorrow is even better!

Love,

Monica

Last Day of August

Well, this is another attempt to start blogging. I set this page up over a year ago, became frustrated because I wanted it to be fabulous and didn't know how. So after a LOT of "Blog Stalking" I have a little more confidence.

Today, Anna Lauren and I left school and had pedicures. Mind you, this is the second pedicure I have ever had, and I really enjoyed it. What amazes me most about pedicures is how people don't mind touching (often times) dirty feet, and cleaning crusty, smelly toenails. Kuddos to them, cause this gal wouldn't do it!

When we arrived home, we were greeted by our Belle! She had a MAJOR haircut from Doggy Dos! See picture above! Why is it up there? I don't know...and how do I move it down here? I am not too sure I will be very good at this! lol

Today has been challenging on so many different levels, typical Monday. I just pray Tuesday goes a little better.

God bless you all and good night!
