Way ward LOVE







My heart aches


for the love we


once shared.


I know things


Can’t be the way


they were when


we were kids


But, oh how


The love was there.


you were so gentle with me


and wanted me to


always be happy, never to


cry.


I remember the nights you


would hold me and I felt


so safe in your arms.


We would talk for hours


about how our life would


be-Oh how wrong we were


Childish dream with childish love.

Long time, no blog

OK, so it's been forever since I have blogged! Not much karate going on so, why even bother? I have had a lot going since the last post. Let's see. I had both hands operated on for Carpal Tunnel. I was sick with a sinus infection from NOV-Mar. We moved in Oct, once again with crazy land lords. I just had surgery last Thursday for a deviated septum. The cause of the sinus infection for months on end. According to DR. T, this will fix it. I am telling you now, if it doesn't, I will be one ticked off woman!
Oh and we went thru a flood!
Back to the nose. I am on day 4 and feel like tee total crap! I am not kidding. Man o man. I have to sneeze thru my mouth-not easy. I can't blow my nose, I still can't breathe thru one nostril and my throat and teeth hurt like heck! My cute little pug nose is swollen. Kelly took a picture of me right when I came back from recovery and Kerry says I look like I am at the morgue!
Recovery has not been fun. Having the splints removed and the packing removed wasn't that bad but lawd have mercy! It's been bad every since. Now, I use to think I had a high tolerance for pain but not now.
I sure to hope I get better and soon!
Sorry for all the whining but just thought someone would like to know!

Loss of a great teacher

Today, one of may favorite teachers passed away from complications due to breast cancer. Mrs. Denning, was a great teacher but even a stronger woman. TCHS will surely be lost without her. RIP Susan Denning.

School Shopping

Have you ever taken 4 teenage girls shopping? Well, I did that very thing this past Saturday. I was fun, rewarding and exhausting! I took Kerry and four other girls. My church took up money for one of the missions that the UMW does for needy kids and school clothes. Each child got to spend $400.00. Sounds easy right? It wasn't. We looked, they tried on clothes, shoes even bras! Eventually they all spent their money. We started at noon and did not end until 10:00pm!
Whew!
I took them out for lunch and supper. Lunch was Pep-a ronis buffett pizza and supper was Subway.
All the girls are plus size and trying to find clothes that are age appropriate or not too tight is somewhat difficult.
They all had fun and that is all that matters. God is good!
