I'm back!

Well, its been a while! I think doing facebook was my fix for the last several months and now

I have taken a break from the infamous FB. It was taking up too much time....yes I was addicted. Now I figure I will do some blogging more regularly for the outlet that I so need.



I've been driving a bus route for the last 8 weeks or so for Tammy who had surgery. She is
married to a cousin of mine and has been so helpful in getting my foot in the door at the bus
garage. They know me very well by now and I should get a full-time route this fall thanks in
part to Tammy, she has been a Godsend. I enjoy driving quite a bit. There are a few teenagers
who try the patience with their attitudes that enter the bus way before they do, but overall the kids are great. Getting past the look down their nose at me teachers is no biggee either since
in actuality they are in the minority - thank goodness! I will get the same health benefits as
teachers and work 3 hrs a day doing something I really enjoy so if some people want to
assume things about me, let them! I'm laughing all the way to the Dr.'s office. Hahahaha.



Seriously though since paying for private health insurance for the past 7 months or so we have
seen the great importance of good health coverage - wow! I can't wait! I think the last time I took my healthcare for granted was when Marty was at Goodyear and we had the awesome insurance that they paid for in full. That was at least 4 years before he quit. They had cut benefits bigtime since then.



Garret is growing up and I'm in denial, I think. He will be 12 soon. He is getting so huge and taller...OMG. He helps me so much with Cole. I was really sick last week and he gave that child a bath every night for me. Marty was working most nights so Garret was awesome! Don't think for a minute that he didn't bring that up when asking about his allowance either. Oh yeah - he wants to be paid but he actually cleaned his room too so I obliged. ;)



Okay so far this has been admittedly boring. How can I spice this blog up? Without delving into straight out gossip. Hmmmm....I'm at a loss. Okay Politics it is! While driving for Garret's fieldtrip last Friday I had an interesting conversation with another parent. He was telling me how he is buying wood and supplies every time he gets paid instead of saving any $$. He wants to be prepared in case the unthinkable might occur. For example, no food or at least no access to food. Chaos breaking out. Riots and such and the government attempting to disarm everyone. This person believes that this is iminent and I'm pretty sure I agree with him. I feel that life as we have known it over my lifetime is changing as I'm writing and will continue to at an alarming pace. I didn't mention this to him at the time but I read a newsletter from David Wilkerson, pastor of the Times Square Church in NY City that details how a catastrophe is going to occur very soon in our country with resulting riots in all major cities. I feel strongly in my spirit that

this type of thing is going to happen, but when I'm not sure. I'm trying to pray about it and cover my family in prayer and trust the one to whom I pray. He is able to provide, protect, and care for all of His children.



Well, my hand is getting tired. I hope anyone who happens across this will be encouraged that although I seem to be focusing on the negative, I'm just touching on something that is reality but that God is able - never changing and always faithful. The prophet Jeremiah is clear about what is happening as well as in Daniel and Revelation. We're living it that's for sure. God Bless you!
