getting into the routine of school etc

Well here we are 1 full week into school and things are going pretty well. Brandon has had a few "issues" with not sitting still and talking but we are working on that to stop it before it gets out of control! Rachel seems to be liking her classes, she was upset at first about getting P.E. again this year but has the chance to change it before next semester so all is good.
Jeff has just recently taken on a second part time job at the local winn dixie working about 3 nights a week unloading the truck and stocking the backroom. His goal is to get enough money saved up to once again begin his commercial diving job where he would clean boats while underwater. He is hoping to be able to buy the needed equipment by end of year and begin doing that part time until he gets enough boats to quit his day job and just do that. The average is about 3 boats a day total of 60 for the month.....
I am still not working however i have been searching the websites daily for something to peek my interest i have sent my resume out to so many places but as of yet no word back from anyone, not even a peep....i keep looking tho eventually something will hit, still not sure what i want to do if i even want to do anything its more of a need than a want at this point.
As most of you know we just had our visit from Dacoda a few weeks ago, he made it back home safely and has begun school himself. It was a good week for him and Jeff as they were busy doing all kinds of stuff, from fishing to watching movies to just chillin. Hard to believe he will be 18 this year. I'm glad he was able to come down its always a good time when he is here. he is still talking military but we have 2 years before we have to deal with that so i say a lot can happen in 2 years...
We are getting ready for more visitors in fact today Jeffs sister and her gang are coming in from Georgia and will most likely stay at our place for the weekend. I dont remember that last time Jeff and I had company like this its kinda nice for a change.

summer fun

Its the end of summer

yesterday was the first day of school for Pinellas county YIPEE~ and i have to say it was way over due for our house. The kids might not agree but let me just tell you that nearly 3 months off is tooooooo long. Way to long. Having said that, the first day went rather well id say, brandon was up bright and early dressed and ready to go out the door at 8 AM off to start his new adventure. School for him isnt bad he actually likes going, he said his teacher is nice, in fact she id from NH and lived in Manchester for most her life ( brandon couldnt wait to tell her he was born in manchester!!) we have open house tonight for him so im sure we will hear all about it.
Rachel on the other hand thats a differant story she was up and ready but not happy about it. She had her friend pick her up and off they went, but she forgot her lunch and was very very VERY hungry by the end of the day! Her classes are good i guess dont get much out of her, she has journalism this year so she will be creating and selling a newspaper and she has a computer class to learn the basics but she alreadys knows them she said and i quote" its an easy A mom"....i thought she should try the graphic design class but she didnt want to apply herself to that. She said she only has 1 teacher that seems "mean" and thats Adv. lang arts, and her math teacher she said is really funny so we are hoping for the best this year!
Her open house isnt until Sept. 11.......
Well thats about all i have on the first day of school i will update as the year goes on. Until then love you all
