Thanks Tracey. When people ask for prayer I like to try and pray for them right then and there. Inevitably when I say I will pray for you I forget, so...

Psalm 107:20 says "He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Pray His Word and you cannot go wrong. Believing and receiving is better than hopin' and gropin'. Amen?

Thank you for your comment and kindness. I will be posting new blog shortly about my husbands progress after his angioplasty.

Sorry Tracy, I was making a joke, it was about jumping Democrats with a bull dozer, sorry.

Thanks Tracey, very little change since my last blog. Still in ICU at Duke. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself. Glen

Thanks for your kind words about my son. I sure do miss him. IT is the hardest thing, as a parent, I have had to deal with.

He went in when he was 17...talk about tough...I had to sign for him to go in and being aware that my son was being put in harm's way. :(

Thank you Tracey. The last two days have not been her best. However, she was moved from ICU to a trauma unit at Duke and we are hoping that she will get better. Long road ahead for us all. Hope you are doing well. Take care, Glen

Hey Tracey, hope you are doing well. After 14 days at Duke, my mom finally went home today to 24/7 care and therapy 4 times a week. Long road ahead but at least we are finally on it. Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers. Hope things are well with you. Take care, Glen

Happy Humpity hump day to you Tracey! how are things going? I hope you have an excellent day!!! Debbie

Braves start a tough series against the Mets tonight. I sure hope they can get their pitching back on track soon

LOL Girl...I intentionally left them blank! Blonde here too! I just invited you to be my friend....


Goodmorning!


Tracey, you wrote about a 5th grade boy who is a government school "import" in your private school who generally tested well but is on a 2nd grade reading level. You expressed bewilderment at this. The answer is probably complex and may be multifaceted (the education he's rec'd thus far, how he felt the day of the test and how he approached it, etc.)

I know a lady in Okla., Cindy D., who's son was in gov't schools and could not read at age 9. He did well in every other subject. The school system wanted to put him in a class of kids with learning disabilities (which in that school was truly retarded kids). She fought them and they could offer no other solution.

Cindy educated herself over the summer and began homeschooling him. He cont'd. to struggle reading for 18 months then "one day" it clicked for him. And by age 12 he was reading at his grade level.

My 11yr old daughter just took her EOG test & is reading at post-grad college level but is only 8 mos ahead of grade in math

Kids are all different and they do not all learn at the same rate. Boys and girls do not generally learn at the same rate either. Often the differences can be minor but at other times the differences can be glaring and, if not handled wisely, can absolutely destroy the learning process.

The end result of education should be to teach the children how to learn. In accomplishing this goal, children are equipped to succeed in life because success at anything is dependent upon the ability to learn new skills. Unfortunately our American government schools goal for education is to produce certain test scores and that is a major reason so many of our young people today are not succeeding. They need a little extra help and don't know how to get it.

Related to the boy you mentioned I would highly recommend a book called "Better Late Than Early". I think you may find it very enlightening. :-)

What is the name of the town your dad is from?

I'm from a town called Sentinel and it is smaller than Durant. I do know where Durant is though.

I graduated with 21, at the time it was the second largest class to go through the school. The class behind us had 14

Thank you for that clarification. I found on the IRS more than once where it said I shouldn't have to use it to claim for taxes. So thank you again!

I've lost 12 on the way to 41. It's a constant struggle for me. lbnblakesmom

Congrats!!!!!!! you'll make it! Just keep your chin up and drive on.

Hey Tracy! Welcome to Goloers for Christ!

Have you received any of the group emails I've sent out from Goloers for Christ? I'm just checking to see if everyone is getting them. Also, we've put up some blogs that only GFC (Goloers for Christ) can view. Please go check them out. We have some great topics up!!

Mrs. Fabulous

Happy HUmpity hump day! hope you and your family are doing great!!!

argh,, oral surgery.. the best thing to me about oral surgery is when they knocked me out...hahahah I hope she does great with it!

Hey Tracy, Just read in your profile where you like Y@R, lol, I have watched it from day one, 35 years ago, talk about years of drama huh? I sure didn't see Sabrinas pg coming though :-)

Tracy, rotfl, We have a wedding to attend today...Victor and Sabrina :-)

Do you think theres more to Sabrina than we know????? I had no idea we4'd have to wait till Monday, lol, when they came in about the president landing I said, noooooooo, lol, get that wedding back on :-)I just have a funny feeling that Sabrina and her mom are up to something....and David, lol, didn't see that coming...We need (not me,cuz I can't get a blog to work for nothing, but to have a Y@R group...I could help jar ppl's memories :-)..please give Lauren a hug for me

(((((((((Lauren))))))))

Yep, mine too, that is where I picked the screen name from.

Hi Tracy, How's Lauren doing?

Hi Tracy, I found a scripture for you, it's awesome. Luke C10 V 19----btw, it's in red letteres, you know how good that is :-) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,and over all the power of the enemy:and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The devil is a liar....

Hey,hope you have had a good day.Have you heard any thing from Steve this afternoon? Hope Becky is dealing eith this better than she was.My heart goes out to her and her family.Take care.

thanks for asking! It was very painful. the kids did fine, at 3 they have no clue really. The mom did better than I thought but she had a hard time. It is always hard to lose families because with a home daycare, they become my family. This week, they other kids keep asking where he is. I miss my boy.

why didn't she want your daughter??? I can't imagine! That's awful! In the past few years, 2 of my parents had babies. To be sure I would have room for the babies, they actually planned the pregnancies around ones that would be going to kindergarten. Being state licensed, I'm only allowed a certain number of children. I'm also required to run things a certain way. Today is very nice, however, because I had a HUGE state assessment yesterday (done every 3 years) and I only have 2 today. One is sleeping and one is watching a movie. We're all relaxing after having someone here all day yesterday to watch every move we make

oops, sorry for getting the kid wrong..lol,,still recovering from yesterday. And things usually do work out for the best. NO running in the house. I don't want to explain to a parent why their child has to have stitches! (let alone fill out the paperwork that would be required for the state for that sort of injury!)

Check out Women Speak Group! :)

Thanks. He is coming home in Sept. Guess we will have a wedding, too. He is so young tho...He is only 19... :(

But...alot of military guys do that.

Good Morning,I just read where steve passed a way i'm so sorry.I'am praying for Becky and all the family.Left a prayer on share prayer.Hope all is going well for you.Thank you for your prayers meant so much to me.Lot better this morning.Meds that i'am on makes me tired and sleepy lol so i spend a lot of time sleeping.

Just droped by to say hellow and wish you a great weekend.Take care.

Hey,know this is going to be a hard day for Becky and her family.Praying that God will be with her and family.I pray that God will give her comfort,peace,and strength.God please help her through this funneral right now i'am sure she does not understand why you have taken him home Ipray that she will in time.Lord be with her and her family just wrap your loveing arms around her and let her feel your preance and your love for her and peace.This is very sad.Let me hear from Becky and how she is doing when you can.I pray that God will work through you to give her comfort today.Take care.God bless all.

Hey,i knew this was going to be a bad day for Becky.Wished their was something i could do but pray.M heart really goes out to her.Right now she has family and frineds with her but what about the weeks a head that is going to be so hard.Will continue to keep her in my prayers.How are you doing? know this was hard on you as well,Will keep you in my prayers as well.Please try to enjoy the rest of the weekend.Do something to get your mind off of today.

Hey,Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.Do you still have a migrain headach?
