I'm Still Here

Well, I see it's been well over two months since my last update. This is due to my stress over Math class this summer. I'm happy to report I got an "A", as did Sergeant Dad. This fall we are tackling the next Math requirement. I imagine that I'll be just as stressed. However, this is the last required Math course. Whew!

Strummer has been flexing his musical muscles this summer. He's really learning his guitar and writing music. He has his first gig scheduled for a children's party. I believe he's volunteering his skills, however, it will still be a good experience for him. He has promised me that he'll go through with the school's talent show this year. So, I'll be able to watch him perform and video tape the event- and share it!

Tater is starting college next week. He will be moving into the dorms this week. My nest is quickly emptying! I'm glad he didn't choose a college far away. Hopefully he won't be "too busy" to come and see his Mama every week. Still, I know where he lives, works and goes to school- I can track him down!

Braveheart is, thankfully, still safe. Things are very, very busy for him. His very good friend was seriously injured and now Braveheart is missing his buddy and worried for his recovery. Please keep Braveheart and his compatriots in your prayers.

Sgt. Dad is preparing to go to Kuwait for a few weeks to aid in the transition of soldiers returning to Alaska. He shouldn't be in danger but, still, it IS a war zone. He will have his work cut out for him attempting to keep up with Math from so far away.

As for me, I'm anticipating a very quiet house with Sgt. Dad, Braveheart, and Tater all away. Poor Strummer will have ALL my attention! It's going to seem a big, empty house.

And that's about it. I intend to get back to blogging more regularly but suspect I've lost all my followers. :-)
