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! 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...

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 am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
