When Things Don't Go As Planned...

It is really quite ironic that only moments after writing the "Back to Basics" post (in the school parking lot, mind you) that Carlie gets in the car and tells me about her day...and what a day it was. There were things that happened that day that should not happen at school...period. Somethings did involve her and things that happened to her with, you guessed it, the teachers son along with psycho Hannah and the Keyboarding teacher. Long story short, I was mad, Carl was even more mad (he called the Keyboarding teacher and the boys dad), and I made a call to the principal to schedule an early morning conference. During the conference I said my peace, and stated my demands (that Carlie not return to the classroom) and gave a little extra info that I thought he needed to know. I also made it official that we would not be returning. I feel completely at peace with our decision  (more so now than ever!).
So the rest of the week wasn't exactly the "Back to Basics" week I had planned, but  sometimes that's just how things go, right?!
I know that God was driving that train....just to make sure that I wasn't going to back out on my decision not to return.
So, Carlie took her tests down in the church on Wednesday and Thursday, and I made Thursday the last day for all three of my kids! Some other junk happened with another student and the same stupid teacher's kid, but we were not there, so I don't know exact details.
I truly believe that you reap what you sow. You know, even if the teacher (who is also on the school board...I know, how jacked up is that?!) doesn't do anything about her kid, even if he is never punished for his behavior.....deep down, she knows. I know that one day it will come back to them.
I don't pray for revenge, only vindication.
God will take care of it. And in the words of Forest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that"!
 
Our last day of the 2015-2016 school year 
 
Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
