Tests

Tests! Tests! Tests! Can we go thru a year without them? A month? A day? We have patch tests for hair dye! We have blood tests, and urine tests. Now this week at school the third and fourth grade children have the ever dreaded "ASK TEST"! Kids are scared, sick to their stomach, crying, and just plain giving up!
It doesn't matter what type of test it is, the event is a mind warping thing. Waiting for the conclusion can drive a person insane. Waiting also usually has one asking God for help with the results. Can he give you the results you want, the ones you deserve? The answer to any test is in the way you live. Let all your answers be good ones. Live the right way, live with God in your heart.

More Fun At Kmart

Another trip to Kmart today proved to be wonderful. 2 pairs of dress slacks, was $24.99, got them $3.00 a piece. 5 tops was $16.99, got them $2.00 a piece. I love getting bargains like that. I even got to spend a little of the day with Kimberly, my oldest. There was so much ice she couldn't get out of her drive. She walked up the hill, I got her, and off to Kohl's where she purchased her flatware and then to another Kohl's for the dishes. I am not sure about the deal on the flatware, but she saved $28.00 a box on her dishes. Like mother like daughter. (not in all areas she will gladly tell you, as I am the pack rat, she is not. Not yet anyway)

A Long Day

I am so tired tonight. It was a long day, but a nice one. I got to spend time with my youngest daughter Diane. That is a rare thing with both of our schedules. We went to lunch and then shopped. I volunteer for everything and realized this is my 20th year doing so. I have no children in school but I still am there volunteering. Well I came up with an idea 4 years ago to do a Silent (Chinese) Auction to raise money for the athlete jackets and scholarships the Varsity Club provides. (I am the only original member left of this organization that I helped start) Anyway, Diane and I looked for super duper bargains and then make baskets for people to bid on. Thank you Kmart. They were having 50% off of their already 70% off clothes. I did great. I got enough to make a little boy and a little girl basket. I added picture prints in frames and stuffed teddy bears. I got golfing stuff that was $15.00 for $1.49 a piece. Mind you I love to shop but even I am surprised at my buys today. Then after dropping Diane off I went to see Timmy, my son bowling. He was trying to qualify for another tournament, unfortunately he came up 83 pins short. So off to another store. Then wow my hubby asked me to go to dinner. That is something that is really rare so I hurried before he could change his mind. Now after designing my friends campaign flyer's for the NJEA office she is running for and after posting this blog I am off to bed. Here is the odd part, it is only midnight. Toodles, and sweet dreams. zzzzz

Lost but Found

Ok, here I am, again. I somehow could not find my way back here. Then I became so busy I just didn't have the time to look and figure it out. I finally said either I work on it or start a new one. I titled this "Lost but Found". How oftened do you feel that way? Many times in life we all find ourselves lost. Lost with your feelings, lost in a relationship, lost in faith. When lost what do we usually do? Answer = Prayer.
