Blogging

I am going to attempt to do this....daily maybe but at least weekly! I started this blog as a grad class project in 2008 and then I stopped but now I feel like I need to do something.

This past week has been a week of mixed emotions. Wednesday was four weeks since I had to say goodbye to Jesse and then Friday was the true one month of his death. I just never knew that I loved my cheerleaders this much. I knew I was close to them and loved them but this is a pain that I hope no other student, coach, or teacher has to go through.

Also, it does not make life any better when your husband is sick. That is just a struggle in and of itself when a man is sick.

Next, I have to hard struggle to decide on what house I want...I have two to chose from one that is huge and then one that is economical. I like both but I just feel that Scott and I deserve the BIG one because we have done for everyone for the last 14 years and it is time for us to have what we want and deserve.

These next two weeks are going to pose another mental and emotional challenge because graduation is coming up and I have to say goodbye to some great seniors. It seems that high school just goes by so fast and we all wish for it to be over, but when the end comes it is so emotional for all involved.
