Stolen and Unwanted

Last night my dog scratched at the front door to go out for a walk. I opened the door, let him and and went back inside (for less than 1 minute) to get something. I opened up the door to call him and as I stepped outside I saw a man, on the side of the road in the process of getting ready to pick up Chancho and put him his truck! He saw me and quickly jumped in the truck and took off! If I had been one second longer my poor dog would have been dog napped! I could not believe it! I was telling my mom and she said 'I know you love him, but it is not like he is a pure bred dog. It makes you wonder why they were going to pick him.' First of all, my dog is soooo cute! So, I said to her 'Well, it was a beater truck, maybe they don't know what a pure bred dog is' lol She then wondered if that meant that my sweet dog (my words, not hers) was a beater truck type of dog. NO!!!! I am so glad we still have him!

So, I volunteer in my kids classes at school ( I know, I am wonderful). I go to the twins class on Fridays, James hits Parker's class on Friday and I asked Kylee to see if I could go on Mon or Wed to her class. Her teacher told her any day would work. I went in today and it was informative. The teacher did not even look up when I walked in. The kids were commenting that Kylee's mom was here, but I had to walk over to her and call her name. She then made it completely clear that she had no need or desire for me to be there. She told me that 'I would just be.........(big pause)' and I said 'In the way?' and she paused and then said 'bored'. I think she really wanted to say 'in the way'. She told me that if she ever needed me she would send a note home with Kylee. I will certainly not be holding my breath! Poor Kylee! She looked ready to cry. She really wanted me there. Oh, the joys of school!

A Long Time

It has been a long time since I have posted. Life has been crazy. I found out that I had indeed started our hot water heater, but did not have it warm enough. I set it for a higher temp and then scalded myself. I now know how to turn it on and set it properly.

I also watched my oldest daughter compete in two gymnastics competitions. I am not sure how the parents of Olympic athletes do not have ulcers! It was a lot of fun but very stressful! She did great and improved on the second meet.

I have totally killed my body. My husband informed me that I was not a young girl anymore and that my gymnastics/boot camp class might be too high impact for me. Did I mention that my ankle, knees, back and hips are killing me? I am not sure I can give it up. I really like it and I love the people I work out with.

I have also been working in the office off and on and I have been reminded how much I love office work!

One last thing. I have seen many people that I know have different feelings on statements made by leaders of my church. I have many feelings on this, however, I think that most of them are better left to being said in person so as to make sure that the intent comes across correctly. But, I do want to say that you can love someone and not agree with choices that they make in life. I can love you but that does not mean that I have to agree with everything you do, love every choice you make and believe that all you believe is right. Just because I don't agree on all things does not take away my love.
