The New Happenings!

Once again, like a broken record, it has been a while. Our family has had so much going on! For the good! We are doing and striving so well in Tennessee!!! First off Mike is in refridgeration now! He is a manager of sorts. He is turning the plant around here. Big wigs are talking...people are talking. What did you expect?! I started working at the church, in the program Claire was in. God was calling and I answered. He wants me to work with children. I want to work with children. Anyway I decided to put in there. The resume was weird. I haven't had to fill one out or "work, work" in 5 years. Yes, being with Claire is WORK! But I haven't been on the clock or making any income in 5 years! Anyway I filled out my resume and got a call for the summer. They wanted me to be a teacher of 4 and 5 year olds. I froze! A teacher?! I simply thought a teachers aide. Anyway I accepted the challenge! I enjoyed it tremendously!!! I loved planning projects! Claire continued school through the summer since I was working! We went for like 6 weeks. (I was hoping to have a job this Fall but wasnt sure) Anyway I had a week and a half off from work, which included bronchitis). Mike and I decided to home school Claire for at least her Pre-K school term. The church also houses the "Faith Tutorial" which is home schooling with the exception of they meet with a teacher 2 days a week. Perfect! I work 2 days a week! Downstairs! Anyway, we signed her up for this program before I got a job or even applied. So she has to be upstairs, in her seat and ready to go by 8:30...I have to be downstairs and getting ready by 8:30. It's a win win! Although I am always rushed thanks to baby girl. Anyway this Fall season I have a class of 2 year olds. It is trying. I have one, who, it is his first year and his mom LOVES to linger....badly. But for the most part the kids crack me up and teach me daily!! I also teach/homeschool Claire at least 3 days a week. It is very handy since we can work at our own pace. But I also have to keep the house up and going, along with everyone in it fed...and bills paid and errands run. I also have signed up to cook for those families in the ICU at the local hospital (It is our churches MOVE initiative) along with doing some hair and doing a baby shower, and having breakfast with a very good friend. I have been a very busy lady! But I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. Life is full and busy! Tennessee has been great! I can't complain! I hope everyone is good and that GOD is moving in their lives like He is in ours. Claire said the other night "Mama, I love you to the Heavens and back. I love Jesus!" I said "Wow, baby that is awesome!" She said "I love Him because He loves us all and gave His only life for us." Me "Yes baby He did." I might have shed a tear or two..... In GOD, Molly
