Why, Oh Why?

Well, we finally got all of Kat's stuff for school. Books and computer. Can't set up her computer until my day off on Saturday just because I don't want to be putzing around with the computer and helping her with school at the same time. Plus, I don't want to try to set it up with the time crunch of having to go to work.

I got to see Sammee today. She is actually financially on track to get to NY. She and her friends have an apartment secured, and, of course, Mom will handle the Renter's policies. She is so excited for this adventure, and it is rubbing off on me. I will be the blubbery Mom when she actually leaves, but I am so excited for this new chapter in her life. Now if I could just get her to contact Mr. Jay Duckworth to let him know she is coming. Uncle Jay needs this information.

In other news, Tori has been suffering from migraines recently. Every other day for the past 2 weeks. She went through this 2 years ago, and we found a chiropractor who was able to relieve the pain and "cure" her. This chiropractor moved to South Carolina while she was in Portland. We can't seem to figure out how to stop them. Any help would be appreciated. Sammee got her some Peppermint Oil to try to help, but I am so worried about her.

In other news, I am helping plan a Mule Barn Theatre reunion next summer in Kansas City. We now have our venue and a hotel deal for the weekend. For those of you who don't know, the Mule Barn Theatre was the theatre that I worked at in college in Tarkio, MO. It was also a professional Summer theatre. We are setting up a reunion for all of the former Mule Barners. I am so excited for this! My first vacation in God only knows how long! And I am hoping that all 3 girls can go and meet all of my amazing college friends.

I promise that I will blog more often. I like keeping my friends and family updated on the happenings here in good ole Poky, Portland, NYC, and beyond!

Blogging Slacker!

Wow! I just noticed how long it has been since I have posted! So much has happened, so here is a quick update.

Jobwise, I received all 32 of my insurance licenses, graduated from training, and am now officially an Allstate insurance agent! I still love my job, and love the people I work with! I have even gotten used to working swing shifts.

In May, Sammee graduated from Idaho State University with her Bachelor's Degree in Theatre. She spent her summer doing theatre, teaching little kids drama in Billings, MT, and playing JoAnne in Rent here in town. Next month she is moving to NYC to pursue her dreams. Such a proud momma!

Tori came home in June for the summer after earning straight A's all year in her first year of college. She got braces, and has been working I don't know how many jobs, saving money to take back to Portland with her. So proud of her for her determination to support herself!

Kat started virtual high school last Monday. She is bound and determined to have a B average this year and work toward graduating on time in 2014. We are also gearing up for bowling season. She will be doing league on Saturday, and will bowl for Century High School this winter. She will also be getting a job this fall.

I am incredibly blessed with these 3 amazing young ladies! So anyone who thinks that a child from a single parent household have no chance for success need to just take a look at my successful daughters!

I will update more later. I am sure there will be many stories and adventures from Sammee in NYC, and Tori in Portland.
