wordy wednesday
Emelia came home from school early today. She called from school because she had a temperature. She ended up sleeping almost all day. I had a weird piercing sinus headache and Izzy didn’t seem like herself either.
Amanda is all signed up and scheduled to take her ACT in December. She was very sick the day she was supposed to take it. She has decided to apply to OU and is planning to room with her friend from school. I like this friend and they are both very studious so I think it’s a good plan. Senior year is crazy! Yearbook $80. Each ACT pop is over $50. Cap and Gown $200. Senior pics $100 so far. College Apps. $40 and up. It’s something every few days! Better get started on a post for promotional pens.
We had a meeting last night about our monthly “for ladies only” service. This month we’re giving away turkeys to single moms. So we discussed collecting and distrubuting the turkeys. We serve dinner to any ladies (and their kids) who attend the service. I look forward to it every month. Bailey is going to help collect turkeys and then carry them to cars for the ladies.
I’ve been really touched by BigMama’s posts from Dominican Republic. She is with the Compassion team.
I’ve picked a little six year old girl from Haiti to sponsor.
It is seriously raining like crazy tonight! Even some hail. Great sleeping weather.
Good night…
I remember the senior years for my kids. You’re not kidding…every time you turn around there’s another check needed.
Hugs!

I don’t remember how much yearbooks cost when I graduated, but goodness $80!! Wow! I remember my mom telling me how much my sister’s cost last year and was surprised at that too. So expensive!

I remember senior year being like that for my kids too! It was something every week and sometimes more.
No rain here yet but we might get some starting late tomorrow. Sleep well!
Trust you can quickly abet the sickness bugs. It seems so sad that the senior activities and needs are so very expensive. What do families that just don’t have it do?

Hope you girl is feeling better soon.. and WOW about all the cost, you think you spend alot on them when they are babies but it seems the older they get the more they cost.

You’re so right about Senior year being so expensive.
I love that your group is giving away turkeys to single mom–what a wonderful thing to do.

We sponsored a sweet girl through Compassion for several years. She was in El Salvador and we really enjoyed corresponding with her. It’s a wonderful way to share the love of Christ!
