MY LIFE AS I LIVE IT

I'm a single mom with two great kids living near Dallas, Texas. This is my life; day to day things that are probably only important to me. This is my record of my ups, my downs and the road that I've taken along the way. For whatever reason YOU'RE here, I hope you find something you can enjoy and/or relate to. God bless.

First Day

...and it begins. Another school year. All the clothes have been bought, Casey cut all of his summer hair off and Charlie has a closet full of jeans, jean jackets and black band tee's. It's on. This is Casey's senior year of high school. Charlie is now a sophmore and for the first time in six years, the boys will be at the same school again. There's only one other thing to give you...pictures. Yeah, Mikey...I'm such a mom. :)

















Casey after getting his 'cut' yesterday...but before the shave that took place this morning.













Charlie and his friend, Keith, having their 'last supper' before school starts.

Life is good at the Bratcher home.

Are you going to be back to subbing, or has other employment been found?

Yanno...it's funny (totally off topic here) My kids went on vacation with their mother on Saturday, Emily went home to see her parents the same day, and all three of them called me yesterday to make sure I was functioning ok without 'em. I must be helpless or something.
