Wow! You are an amazing women! Let's see, I think you have 8 kids and 2 grandbabies and it looks like 6 kids are still in the house. Wow!

You are a very dedicated mother and I think you found your calling - a 2nd mom too (school kids)

I hope to keep up w/some of your stories. emoticon

Ok I am back on track (mostly). I am now a certified teacher with the summer off.....yeah right. I have worked as much this summer doing things around the house as I have when I was teaching!

I have a new grandbaby (Sean the 24 year old), another very close to the family baby (Sean's wifes sister had hers a week later), and another grandbaby on the way (my 26 year old Meagan)! Grace (my baby girl) is almost 4 now. Where does the time go?

I am so sorry I quit blogging and even logging on to Spark. I have been going to school full time and teaching full time. DCS moved the children we thought we were going to get to adopt and I found out my beautiful 26 year old daughter who is in the Navy has been diagnosed with MS and is not responding to treatment. There are lots of new lessons in faith and love that I could share on the blog but I have to get through this teaching certification program first in order to have ANY time at all for ME and Spark. I will get it going as soon as I am done with this program in April!!! I AM back on a good eating plan and my first weekly weigh in is tomorrow. My husband is now doing Spark with me and he has lost 5 &1/2 pounds this week - he cheated and weighed in early!
