Bright's thoughts

My poor Lindsey went to school on Monday unprepared for all the life changing events that would happen this week. She started SEVENTH grade. If she was not going to Liberty she would be in Junior High and have to deal with a whole new school. Instead she is moving classes and teachers and having to figure out her locker at her "old" school. Still she had to make new friends. Her friends from last year all went to a new school or moved. Monday, while at taekwondo in Payson I got a phone call with Lindsey on the other end MADDER than I have ever heard her. So mad she was just about in tears. "I'm never going to babysit again! They never listen!! Liberty's crying and Journey says it's MY job...............WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME!" Uh, wow! "I'll be home soon I'm talking to Dejah's instructor." She went on and on. I told her to "buck up and deal with the situation". She hung up on my I think. I quickly ended the...

And he likes to climb.     Dejah got a kitten right before we went to Yellowstone. She bought him from her cousin for $5 with her own money. She had been begging and begging for a new pet, one she could call her own. Scott let her get a kitten. I was shocked! I just knew he was going to say "no", so when I told her she had to ask dad I figured it was a sure way to get it shot down. He would be the bad guy, not me. That back fired! Really he is a cute kitten and I'm glad he is in our family. Ella went through some serious moments with us all. She stopped coming inside and sleeping at my feet. She was letting us know she did NOT approve. She has since come around and puts up with him and even plays with him. Nala was in love at first sight. She wanted to lick him from day one. HE on the other hand had some warming up to do. Now, he rubs against her legs and purrs. Now all pets are happy.

It is hard to believe summer is over and it is back to the grind! I can't believe I have a 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grader!!! Bryan will start Kindy next fall, then I will just have Liberty at home. The girls were ALL so excited for the new school year. They got up so nicely and were ready early. We even got scriptures in. That only lasted the first day. I have dragged this week too so I understand the slower pace. We will do better next week!!! I am so proud of the girls. They have done so well this week!!! YEAH for school. They all LOVE Liberty Academy too. It was a great change for them. I'm glad we did it!
