Back in the Groove

It's our third day back in school. Man, it's hard getting up in the mornings when you have slept in for 2 weeks!

Right now, we are at lunch. We like lunch, it's an hour of doing nothing. Amanda usually plays Barbies in between bites. I turn on AMC and get on the laptop.

I was informed today by Amanda that she is the smartest kid in her class!! LOL!!! Our bible lesson this week has been about temptation. I had to giggle Monday when she told her Dad that eating off other people's plates is a temptation for him. LOL!!! So true, so true!! All he could do was grin.

We heard from Michael in India, Praise God!! So far so good!! He writes:


Greetings from the great land of india. Im riding on train. The trip is going well. Tell everyone im okay. Tell melissa im still alive and i love her. Ill see yall soon. I love you guys. Plane ride was to long still fighting some jet lag. India food great. Jesus is beautiful. I can get use to tea time. With love.

Sounds like things are good. Yes, Mama was worried. I'll be glad when he sets his feet back in North America, though.

The changing of eating habits is going OK. I'm still praying through alot!!! We went thru the DQ drive in to get Amanda an oreo blizzard and temptation got me. I ordered a kit kat blizzard, I took 2 bites of it and threw it away. One because it DID NOT look like the picture and two it really didn't taste good. What a blessing!!!

Watching the news the other day I saw a story of some kids from one of the school districts around here who would not be allowed in school due to not getting a hair cut. I just laughed, thought it was funny. Working for a school district you see kids dressed in ALL sorts of things and trying to get away with it. They try to get by with having long hair, pierced tongues, tatoos anything that is opposite of the dress code. Yes, in Texas we have dress codes. You as a parent are informed of the dress code from day 1.

While surfing Drudge, I ran across this. Texas students suspended

I couldn't believe some of the comments people left. I mean, if there is a rule, aren't you suppose to follow it?? I don't know, just thought it was funny!!!
