Graduation Day for James Brian

Brian and I have managed to get each child a kindergarten education! I think that is a step in the right direction. I did really good today. I didn't cry once. I did tear up when we were leaving his classroom for the last time. He has had the best teachers. We have been so blessed. I never ask for a teacher. Sometimes I get one I don't care for but I figure God gives us who he has planned best for.

James Brian had the first speaking part. He did great to stand up in front of maybe 150 or 200 people and just say his part.

Yesterday JB had his year end party. We were supposed to play games outside and have a picnic lunch but it was raining so they played games in the gym and sat on the floor and had pizza then went to the lunch room to decorate cookies. It was fun. Never take your room mothers for granted!

I couldn't get him to eat breakfast so by the time that was over we were starving! Daddy, Margarett, Hayden, Grayce, James Brian and I all went to cracker barrell. I think that is the best cracker barrell has ever tasted! (don't worry, I took Brian and Michael lunch back).

Then I spent the rest of the day working on that silly rental house. I have to do a back ground check on the person to make sure they don't do drugs. The girl today was clean. You will be surprised what you find out about people. One time one of them said adultery and they always have domestic violence. It is really sad. I usually tell them I don't care if they hit their husband they just can't sell drugs out of my house.

Tomorrow I get to pressure wash. That is the fun part. I found someone to mop the floor. The girl is supposed to give me a deposit tomorrow so they will take care of that one!

You want another rental house story? We have one that is section 8. That means it is government housing and I get a check every month from the state paying the rent. The great thing is the check arrives in our bank account the day it is due. The bad thing is you have to do all this special stuff for it to be approved. This house I am talking about has been on the program for years and each year they do a review. This one has a couple of rotten places where the washing machine leaked that have to be fixed and the tile in the kitchen has to be replaced. So, I have a handy man, Don, that does all our work for us. He is not the greatest but he gets us by. The renter moved all her stuff out of the kitchen to replace the floor but he never showed up. His wife called me. He fell down at his house and hurt both hands and his back. This house has to be ready by June 4Th. Maybe I need to call my Uncle Mickey!

James Brian is wanting to spend the night with daddy tonight. That's fine except I can't sleep late I have to be at the house about 8:00! I just can't get a break! But, I can go to sleep as soon as he leaves! Oh, and watch what I want on TV!

Cydney and I were just looking at facebook. The scary thing is people post pictures of themselves and before they put it they look at it and go mmmhhhmmm, I look good in this picture!
