School & life

So, hunting has slowed down for me some. Emilee's schedule is busy right now. Football games, school fundraisers, competitions, halloween, etc. I get to be the one to stay home and be the taxi driver. But that's okay. I know Steve needs his time to hunt also. When I go, he doesn't even take his bow in the woods. It's all about me! (isn't that nice!). Maybe the first weekend in November I'll get to go. For you that know hunting lingo, it's be prime rutting time, so maybe getting a shot at big buck will happen.

Emilee has been struggling a little with school lately. I think she's too much like me, social butterfly. She has a "boyfriend". I really use that loosely, because he's basically her lacky. They text and talk all the time and when they are together, he's usually just following her around or doing stuff for her. But whatever. He's a good kid and their family is good family. Her report cards comes out this week (or maybe next) for the first 9 weeks and she's got like one a and the rest b's and c's. The c's were f's one point in the 9 weeks, but she worked like crazy to bring them up. I still might ground her from the phone though, because of of those c's was english and her biggest problem was not studying. Actually studying is her biggest problem in all her classes. And believe me, she's too much like me ... she HAS to study. No easy subject for her. She likes social studies and science, but I think that's more about the teacher, because they make learning fun for the kids. Anyways, let's pray that the next 9 weeks is better - let's pray that she's learned a little from this 9 weeks.... a little studying can be rewarding in the fact that you don't have to spend a whole weekend doing extra credit to bring up your english grade!!!!!

Work is good for me. Okay for Steve. He's having neck surgery the week before Thanksgiving (we hope) and then a couple weeks after that, his shoulder surgery. Of course, dealing with workers comp is terrible. It's a big ole' pile of yuckiness. We finally contacted a lawyer, because 1) everyone told us to and 2) to make sure we were doing everything right and V wasn't taking advantage of us. Steve's neck injury scares me. He's been so active all his life and our marriage. I certainly don't want this to slow him down. His doctor appears to be really good and says it's nothing, plenty of people have this type of condition (bulging disk) and even Chris Hope that plays for the Titans has had the same exact surgery that Steve is having. But still, scarey stuff.

I changed jobs the first of Sept for those who don't know. Same place, just different boss. I'm working for a women now and she's great. I love what I do. I'm still learning and I'm constantly comparing myself to the previous AA because she was the greatest, but I really try to remember I'm basically learning a new job and it'll take me a while. C didn't get to be a great AA overnight and neither will I ........

Gotta run!
