Welcome to the almost the 3rd full week of July!! Holy cow where has the summer gone??? The kids spent two weeks with their grandpa helping to sort through some stuff.

They are replacing her school with a new one and it will be literally across the street when it is done.  She will attend it for the 5th grade and then move to middle school.  Doesn't that figure. Dre finished her 9th grade year. She brought her grades up a bit. They could be better, but we are just wanting her to try.  That's all we ever ask of our kids.  I believe that she will be in 10th grade next year. We still have not got her report card in the mail yet.  Very frustrating. Jenna is doing well except for the injuries she has sustained this year.  I think she needs to live in a bubble! I have been doing okay. I have changed some of my job du...
