Val has Morality class this semester as her religion class. Her teacher, Mr. Brandt, has deemed Fridays to be the day that he gives the kids tips and they can talk about dating, and relationships.
Part of this, are a "girl" and a "guy" tip.
His tip for the girls this week, is to always carry a sucker with them, when they are out with a boy. That way, if they are not comfortable kissing the boy, they can stick the sucker in their mouth, cause who would kiss someone with a stick in their mouth.
The boy tip was that a boy should always carry a pen and a folded notecard. On the outside of the card, he can write topics to discuss, and on the inside, he can write things that interest the girl he is with.
So there you have it. I will ask Val for more tips next Friday.
PS~ She did take a sucker with her tonight, but only one. And she took one for him too! He said he was going to go find a notecard~heehee!

1 Week Down!
Well, my camera didn't have batteries. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, when I tried to take the traditional first day of school pictures, and now I know, there are no batteries in it. It is a good thing they wear the same thing every day. I will get pics of them next week.
Emily loves 8th grade. She started Tuesday. Her class has 15 kids in it. Ky moved to Florida, but he might come back at semester, they all hope so! Every day the 8th graders go to the lunchroom and help the kindergarteners with their lunch trays, so I get to see her a couple of times a day. There really isn't as much homework as she thought, so she is happy about that! Volleyball is going well. There are 8 girls on her team, 3 of them are from St. Joseph school, and then Emi,Tarah,Olivia,Theresa,and Elizabeth. It looks like a good team! Em got her serve back, and is doing awesome!!!!
Val was born to go to high school! I will always think so. She is having the time of her life!!! She got a full size locker again, teachers and classes that she loves, and is going out on a movie date tonight. What more could she ask for???
Val is assistant coach to Emi's volleyball team.
Well, that's about it. Valleri had school pics taken yesterday, Emily,Tarah, and Diem are supposed to be going to the mall with some guy friends from St. Jude's. Emily had a cold yesterday though, so I will have to see how she is feeling first.
I am 8th grade room mother, so I am trying to figure out a schedule for fundraising for the kids for their graduation expenses, t shirts, and class trip. YUCK!!!! I don't really mind though!

What I've Been Up To....
...so, I've been MIA for almost a month. Yikes! The summer just flew by for sure!
The girls have been so busy going out with friends, and Mark has been busy at work, and I have just about completely beat the %$#@@* out of myself!
I will explain.
A week ago today, I was sweeping the hall by the bathroom, and I stopped to go get something from Emily's room. It was probably laundry, because I was multi-tasking that day. Anyway, I came back, and took a step over Mighty, and right onto a dustpan. Of course, it slid, I ended up doing the splits, my left foot ended up flat against the floor, and basically I sprained it.
So, on Wednesday, I knew I would be on my feet for a long time, since we were going to be at BC registration, so I wrapped it up, and away we went. After we paid fees and bought books in the small gym, we stepped outside, but the sun was so bright, I stepped off the stair, but did not realize I stepped onto a concrete ramp, which I stepped off of with my bad foot. I fell flat on my face. Scraped the skin off around my eye, which is now also bruised, had blood dripping down both legs, scraped my knuckles. Yikes! It was so embarrassing!
Val was such a sweetie though, and just threw her locker together in like less than 5 minutes so we could leave.
So, now I am healing,and praying that some of these bruises go away before school starts.
Tomorrow, I am going to my sister's new home in Derby to help them move in....I wonder if they will let me carry their fine china.....heehee!
