She made the varsity cheerleading squad at Mayfield Elementary. They will be the competition squad. Maddi is really doing quite well and is enjoying it. Third grade is going well for her, she loves her teacher, Mrs. Stuart. A lot of people I know said thier kids had her and L O V E her. She is very wonderful as I can see so far and Maddi really likes her. This makes all the difference in the world for Maddi!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Maddi has been asking for "layers" in her hair for a while now and we went Sunday, October 12 to get some cut in... they new do is adorable and it makes her curls really come out when she gets hot and sweaty :) and when it rains.. sooo cute...

Just before I lost my job... Yes. The very next morning, they called me in and told me my position was terminated. That was almost 2 months ago and over 35 resumes and applications later...still no job. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">I have completed my Medical Terminology course and have moved on to Medical Transcription, hoping to get that up and running before Christmas. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Maddi had a wonderful time at youth camp, but I am so horrible, I did not take a picture of the girls... I think Glen did with his camera so maybe I can get a copy... things have been really crazy since I haven't been working and my brain doesn't work right. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Maddi started 3rd grade! This was fun. Her teacher is Mrs. Stuart and she is so sweet! I think Maddi will do well this year... she has a great 2nd grade since transferring to Mayfield and my hope is that whatever happens with my job situation that she can stay in that school..

It was so much fun. For just a couple of hours, I was a kid again! I have always loved the circus and been amazed at the beauty of the people and the animals... I still am!<br /><br />Maddi got to see the wonderment for the first time and it was so much fun watching her and Kristopher and Aidan and Courtlyn be amazed at what they saw!<br /><br />The white tigers were just breath-taking. Such gorgeous animals...such strength, such grace... but yet they can destroy you with one swipe of a massive paw!<br /><br />The elephant--so adorable and so H U G E-seemingly docile and sweet-with a kind of sad look-but again, the wild animal could have taken us out with one stomp!<br /><br />The ladies, the gents---just such pretty people... so talented, so fun!<br /><br />I hope at least once you get to enjoy the circus--and if you have children, take them and get the closest seats possible-it's WORTH the money!</span></div></div></div></div>steph5574http://www.blogger.com/profile/03786475984951123409noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533709911613278821.post-58804459621729826552008-03-04T08:20:00.002-05:002008-03-04T08:25:55.200-05:00Family<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeKP9r8k2MPu9x479pjS-Zp-7hnOEJqm5YjoLZlxKrpUqvn6UJ8DE-mU6LlMq3IEzCH41xivjUGBmFp9wf4V6Lnm3ZXcrNrb4I-3VuEiQjsZapvB6r6HVm90qhqZB8IfpQvm0sW_9TRVV0/s1600-h/family+2007+christmas.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173876952270944002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeKP9r8k2MPu9x479pjS-Zp-7hnOEJqm5YjoLZlxKrpUqvn6UJ8DE-mU6LlMq3IEzCH41xivjUGBmFp9wf4V6Lnm3ZXcrNrb4I-3VuEiQjsZapvB6r6HVm90qhqZB8IfpQvm0sW_9TRVV0/s320/family+2007+christmas.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTJWcfcjCQRugzFLERPKvnUW1oJW5jKTekGdKkWb9g_y3-ei_f_5AJXca915mxaboQMEiAdRmKPeQuLJQxji-Jym54buUAasI3EhJcFbyavZ1OQ4cuG9TZrxAXa8cTV2uzi_VWeOSBDkjl/s1600-h/dad.steph.stephen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173876956565911314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTJWcfcjCQRugzFLERPKvnUW1oJW5jKTekGdKkWb9g_y3-ei_f_5AJXca915mxaboQMEiAdRmKPeQuLJQxji-Jym54buUAasI3EhJcFbyavZ1OQ4cuG9TZrxAXa8cTV2uzi_VWeOSBDkjl/s320/dad.steph.stephen.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00BzR-QBRUQGcXPnQe-HQESFo18EsBKJAgg4QrmaacXMV-8fx0jqzkXuRu_IlxW89zBViTIs1ngMM8ojzADMUR5knmWp6iuiSKzL3DU92eY6CkzYsNmIpV4t03Jt6MLv-f51JxDpkDOE-/s1600-h/mom.+steph.+stephen.+christmas+2007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173876960860878626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg00BzR-QBRUQGcXPnQe-HQESFo18EsBKJAgg4QrmaacXMV-8fx0jqzkXuRu_IlxW89zBViTIs1ngMM8ojzADMUR5knmWp6iuiSKzL3DU92eY6CkzYsNmIpV4t03Jt6MLv-f51JxDpkDOE-/s320/mom.+steph.+stephen.+christmas+2007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje_ML2XXTWg1rOUpLofDNybPgd6iqOi9bXjvUzZXhdEt8Any-WHSpXVypmxpcPZAU5Deflr0LKt22ezLb58eFcxSW9xeGLwnWQyZt0s8C0R6ESyLFO1PISeXRpH6npqwIVxIQ5VA-YCimv/s1600-h/all+the+kids.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173876965155845938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje_ML2XXTWg1rOUpLofDNybPgd6iqOi9bXjvUzZXhdEt8Any-WHSpXVypmxpcPZAU5Deflr0LKt22ezLb58eFcxSW9xeGLwnWQyZt0s8C0R6ESyLFO1PISeXRpH6npqwIVxIQ5VA-YCimv/s320/all+the+kids.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#6666cc;">I have been slowly adding tidbits to this new page of mine and thought today I would add some family shots.

I enrolled in a medical transcription course. Sounds crazy I know, but I have been really needing to bring in some extra money and with things not so very comfortable with my job and what could or could not happen at the upcoming General Assembly ( this ought to be a bad word) . I just did it! I enrolled and I am going for the gold! I hope to be reporting good news in the months ahead! I have always said further education was not up my ally especially at my age, but this is the way for me right now... who knows where it will take me. But security and stability is very important for me.
