With the end of school coming quickly, everything sems to be coming at me at full steam. The everlong days of trying to find a job doesn't help either.
Both Kelsi and Jolie had orchestra concerts and they both did a wonderful job! Their talent is getting better each year and I am excited to see how the next year brings more talent and perfection. They are excited for school to end and the summer to begin. Laurie is definately ready for school to end. She has not decided to go back to kindergarden for next year but she does not know wheather she even has a position for next year. The stress of me not having a job is taking its toll on her. I dont blame her but sometimes I feel she is taking it out on me. The comfort level that she is accoustomed to and so desires is just not achievable right now. I hope that she can overcome this. I am doing everything I can to get a job but there is not much out there.
Sometime ago I signed up for science camp as a chaperone for Jolie's class. Camp was held at the Baptist camp outside of payson. It was a total fun and good time! Myself and three other dads were the watchers of ten great young men. I feel we had the best group of boys out of the whole camp. Well behaved and had the best manners. Their parents should be proud.
The other drama is Kelsi and the boyfriend. Things were getting too serious and I felt that they should break up and cool things down. This has not gone over very well but I think it is for the best.
While waiting to land a job, I have been spending alot of time at the local DES office trying to get ACHHS and Food Stamps. The amount of information they require is crazy! Each visit is around four hours long and it doesnt seem to be working yet but hope it does. Trent however has been granted AcCSHHS so this is a good start.
Jolie had a dance recital this last saturday which took all day. A 8:30 am dress rehearsal, a 3:00 and a 6:00 pm pefomances. She did a great job and her tumbling skills are getting better but she does not want to do it any more. So now is the question of do we get her to do it during the summer or do we pick it back up in the fall? We do have a couple of weeks to figure it out.
There is plane tickets to buy, a summer family trip to plan, jobs to look for, cars that need some tlc, a home that someone has tried to vandalize, a home that I am trying to keep from foreclosing, and not enough time to enjoy life. I do hope that things begin fall into place instead of falling apart. Sure could use some good luck about now. Thanks for reading this and sticking through yo the end.

Life is hard, esp right now. It sucks sometimes, but one foot in front of the other is sometimes all we got. Keep plugging away!
Richard you are such a great person. So sorry I didn't talk to you guys much the other night, I was dealing with my own constant drama, but I was so happy to see your family and should have said so.
Great parenting by the way about Kelsi and the boyfriend. I know tough but very insightful and smart. These kids are faced with so much they don't need grownup stuff yet.
Hooray for Jolie and Kelsi and their talents. It is so fun to celebrate. I am not forgetting how great Trent is either I promise :>
Sorry about the job and money stuff. I feel your pain. I keep trying to think of ways to earn more or to bring it more and I get so frustrated. I especially know the hurt and frustration when someone thinks you should be making more when you are doing the best you can. Money stuff is stressful. Chin up my friend, my prayers are with you.
