Back to school

Well, my little ladies are back in school. CheyAnne is now a freshman at St Teresa's Academy. She tried out and made the JV softball team, we are very proud of her. Hannah is in the 7th grade at St Charles. It was strange for me, and I think for her, since this is the first time she has gone to school alone. She and Chey have always been together. It is strange to see them going seperate ways this year, but good that they will for the first time experience something like that on their own. The next time will be college, yikes!!! Chey is also joining the Junior States of America. It is a debate and political group that is Nationally recognized, and we are told it looks good on the college apps. They have been asked to go to Ivy League schools over the summer for debates. Very cool stuff, it will help in her desire to be in Journalism and Politics. All I have to say is, thank you to my parents, who have done so much to help us with school. It is not an easy task when it comes to paying for this education. We have had to really budget this year, I don't know if we will be able to eat when Hannah is there too. LOL. I guess it will be a good diet. It is worth every penny.

Surgery

So, my summer has been somewhat uneventful in the sense that we have not gone on a single trip or done a thing. I did have surgery, for the second time, on my foot on July 8th. That has been great. Hopefully that sounded sarcastic, LOl. I was in a wheel chair, then crutches, now walking with this really sexy boot. I hope it works this time. I have a metal plate, some screws, and a small rod. If the plate becomes bothersome, I will have a 3rd surgery. Lets hope not.
