Well it has been a wild time around here with marching season in full swing and all.
In August I received a phone call requesting an emergency placement of one of the exchange students. A little Japanese girl who was going to have to go home if they didn't find her somewhere - Okay move her in and that is when life gets interesting.
She apparently did not have the English skills she needed to be over here in the first place so we set up tutoring, etc and get her back on the path of learning. She seems to be adjusting and things are better.
I was sick for 4 weeks with something I thought was just allergies. Well after 3 seperate doctors and several prescriptions later. I am still coughing and not sleeping. Oh well
Rae visited from Florida for 2 weeks and applied for a couple of jobs
I spent a week in Austin for training and then took several days off the first of October to spend time with Rae
Catherine had been nominated for Homecoming queen for First Priorty. That meant more shopping 3 dresses, finding a car, plan a party etc.
Update on the weight lose - Catherine has lost 54 lbs and I only 8 but Dr is happy with my weight loss saying if I was an active teen running around like a chicken .... I most likely would lose it also. But since I am almost 50 and diabetic he is happy with me slowing losing weight. He said that loosing it slowing keeps it off. I think he was just trying to encourage me. However I am starting to walk the dogs again and that alone will be more activity than I have had in a while.
I need to upload some pictures but I haven't gotten to them yet.
Catherine is still talking about SFA this fall. I guess I will be making lots of trips to Nachoduches the next 4 years.
Oh big news. Rae is going to walk the boards in December. She wasn't going to because she was mad at the school but she has calmed down and is going to humor her mother.
Well take care all.
SJ
