Better late than never

In the last post I said I would update the BLOG soon, well I as you can see I did not. But I will now. I am back to working part time again till we get into our busy time. The biggest and best thing that has happened in and around the RACKROOM is that I have not smoked since March 25, 2009 that will be 6 months this Friday. People have asked why and how I stopped smoking I really do not know, the cost had a lot to do with it and me being the only one in our family that was still smoking had a little to do with it. I went cold turkey the first 7 days then I started taking ***CHANTIX*** with a lot of praying I have not smoked. The odd thing is at times I still reach into my purse for the smokes as I am driving this seems to be the hardest time that I want to smoke so far and I can't do something else to get my mind off the need or want to smoke and with God's help I will not smoke again. Ashley is in school again as a student and teacher. She is a teaching 4Th grade ELA (Reading & Writing) to 3 different classes so she has about 60 kids a day. She says it seems to be taking her longer to adjust to the students and the curriculum this year. There is a big difference in second graders and fourth graders. Her classes (PAA) meet twice a month it is a 3 year program, when she completes the program she will have her second Masters in Administration. This means she can be an Assistant Principal then maybe the principal of a school in her future . Rick & I drove to Bristol the last week of July to get Kerrie so she could spend the week with us at the beach on our annual vacation. This is where we take pictures every year waiting for a table At Sara J's . We had a great time did not do anything special. Relaxed by the seaside and by the pool spent a very low key week. Going to close for now will update later in the week.
