Good things come to those who wait, even though it's hard!

The Sauce got the job at Rocky Mountain ATV in Payson. He starts this Wednesday. What was suppose to be part time has turned into full time. Prayers are answered... at some time. Life IS good. Sent out invites to Hindes family reunion today. Fun to make them. I am looking forward to going to Michigan in June.

Helen Keller and working in the skills room today

Today I worked in the take home library/skills room. I had 6 students come in for discipline. While I was in there, I picked out a book, 'Helen Kellers Biography.' Off and on it took me the day to read it. What a life she led. Very inspiring about her and Annie Sullivan. So much love, determination, and struggles. Amazing example. I wrote down 3 quotes that impressed me. "Obedience is the gateway through which knowledge and love enter the mind of a child." -Annie Sullivan And then from Helen Keller, "Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved." "The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse." We all have our moments of despair and discouragement but it's what we do with it that determines where we end up. I am grateful for the things I read and experienced today at work. The children that came in for various reasons- puting a book in a urinal, twisting a boys arm. (1st grader) not doing assinments in classroom (3rd grader) throwing snowballs (1st grader) not respecting self or others (3rd grader)
putting a friend in a headlock because he had his chair (6th grader) I'm grateful for this children who are my teacher. Mistakes are the usual bridge between inexperience and wisdom.-Phyllis Theroux We all make mistakes in our lives. It's what we learn from them that teaches us wisdom and helps us to help others. Grateful.

LAST THE BEST OF ALL THE REST

Payson High School's sophmore team played their last game of the season today. They played Uintah and Mild Sauce was in heaven, or at least I was as his mother. Today Nick got to play most of the game. On most of the games he warmed the bench. But tonight he played his best and he was shining. He scored 8 points. 1-3 pointer, 1 free throw and 2-2 pointers. So in this sense the saying is really true. Last the best of all the rest. Way to go Nick! I'm glad the season ended this way for you. Oh, they won the game too.

BRAVO HOT SAUCE and MILD SAUCE will be 16 Sunday the 13th.

Curtis has been in the school musical 'Little Shop of Horrors' He played Orin the Dentist and he fit the part to a T. His choir teacher said she could've casted him for all the parts after his audition. You gave a great performance today Curtis. I love ya.
Nick is turning 16! Oh my goodness. Nicky baby you can date and soon drive. You are worth waking up at 4:30 in the morning. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I LOVE YOU...baby. Good news too, Nick can start slowly introducing foods he has been allergic to back into his diet. Keep your fingers crossed!

Everything Has a Purpose

We are not moving, well at least for the time being and in the house on Vista View Drive. That fell through. The man decided he wasn't going to rent it out. So here we sit, waiting. It's good to have internet and phones again. A week without it was interesting.
