Wow have things been busy! I am coaching the academic team at school, working 5 days a week, teaching one night a week, and being wife and mother to my men! Needless to say, my housework has gone on the backburner. I just try to enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

The state (of Georgia) significantly cut the education budget recently and our county is now trying to cut over 8 million dollars from their budget. Well, when 80% of your budget is salaries - the news doesn't look good. I am in a precarious situation. I have over 8 years of teaching experience. But, this is only my second year in this county and have no idea if I will have a job next year. Also, my old system is under a hiring freeze. Education is in the same boat as so many other industries. Please pray that our economy straightens out sooner rather than later. I am still so fortunate and blessed!

Back to the Grind

Well, we have been back to school for a week and a half now. UGGG!!! I have been so busy! Andrew has started Upward Basketball. He hit a fabulous shot last week from mid court at the last second before the half! Everyone jusst hooped and hollered and he just grinned!! Now, if he only had that smile when he did homework!!
