			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="moods"><img src="/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/wd-friday.gif" alt=" emoticon" /> </p><p>We finished school at the preschool yesterday.  It was kind of a rough year, I am tired, so I am glad summer is here.  When class was finished I went to the university to drop off my background check, TB test and teacher insurance card for my class this summer.  That class starts on June 7th.<br />
Josh and Karl went golfing last night.  Josh has been wanting to play golf here lately so he and Karl have been doing that.  They have fun.<br />
We do not have any plans for this weekend as of yet.  I do have a few things I am doing next week though.  I am finally getting my hair cut.  I straightened it the other day and it is almost to my bottom.  I am having a few inches cut off.  Josh and I are also having our teeth cleaned and the following week Josh starts with his orthodontal stuff.  They will be making molds of his teeth.  He needs braces bad.<br />
If you are able to make it here to read my blog, that is great.  I have been having trouble with it shutting down again.  I have no idea how to fix it.<br />
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and be safe!!  <img src='http://rayfamilyblog.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/pup1.gif' alt=':pup1:' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="moods"><img src="/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/wd-saturday.gif" alt=" emoticon" /> </p><p>I have 4 more days of school at the pre-school.  I think the week will go by fast.  We have a lot planned.  I am so ready for summer.  We are done Thursday, May 27th and it is a half day.<br />
My class is over at the university.  I ended up with a B in that class.  It was a math class, so I am happy with my grade.  I start my new class on June 7th.  It is called Infant/Toddler.  I will be working with little teeny tinies this summer.  That will probably be fun for me.<br />
Josh is finished with school.  He did great in his classes.<br />
I am going to go for now, but I will not have class everyday this summer like I have the other summers, so I am hoping to be able to blog more than normal.  I will write more when I get out of school.  I hope you are all doing good.  I will visit soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="moods"><img src="/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/wd-saturday.gif" alt=" emoticon" /> </p><p>Karl got Josh some new golf clubs, so they are out driving golf balls today.  It is a great day for it.  It is sunny and about 75º.  I was thinking, I haven&#8217;t updated my blog in forever, so I will check in.<br />
My math class is going fine so far.  It is winding down.  There are about 8 more classes and I will be done.  I enroll for Summer and fall semesters next Friday (April 16th).  I am taking Infant/Toddler this summer and Methods in the Fall.<br />
Things at the pre-school are good, but hectic.  We always have a lot of students at the end of the year and it is hard, but we only have about 33 days of school left.  I counted yesterday.  I am ready for summer, but I am going to miss my kids.  I have a great bunch of students.  I am really blessed.<br />
Karl has been working regularly.  I think things were a question mark last time I posted.  It looks like he will be working for a while now.  That is great news for us.<br />
We also took Josh to the Orthodontist and he will be having quite a bit of work done on his teeth starting this summer if things go well.  He will eventually have braces.<br />
We also may be getting another corgi!!  My MIL called this morning and said that Mandy&#8217;s mom (our dog&#8217;s mom) Bonnie had puppies and they have some little girls, they are going to save one for us.  I am not certain this will happen 100%, but it would be fun to have a puppy in the house again, I am just not sure how Mandy will react, she is so spoiled.  It would be end of May, the puppies are just 2 weeks old right now.  The owners will be down around Memorial Day, so we will see then I suppose.  <img src='http://rayfamilyblog.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/lay.gif' alt=':corgilay:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I cannot think of anything else new that is going on right now.  I stay pretty busy with work, classes and homework, so that is why I long for vacations.  I hope you are all doing well that visit me and thank-you for the visits.  I will be able to visit more in the summer.  Have a great April!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a long time since I have updated.  Sorry about that.  I have been super busy with my college class&#8230;which is a math class this semester and work.  Work is going great.  It has been a good year and we have really good kids.  It is hard for me to believe that it will be over soon and my kids will go on to Kindergarten.  It is sad for me.<br />
The year has been a little rough on us.  Karl&#8217;s van broke down in January and we are not able to pay for it yet, so we pulled Josh from his reading tutoring in February to save for the van.  Well, just about as soon as we pulled Josh from tutoring, Karl was laid off.  We also owe money this year for taxes.  It is crazy.  I just laugh about it.  We will make it through.  I know God will take care of us.  Karl has more recently worked a few days here and there, but is not sure for how long.  I do think it sounds like he will be back to work full-time by summer or so.  That is the good news.  It is scary, the guys in construction are all calling around to each other trying to find work.  There is just not much work out there.<br />
I am currently on Spring Break at college, but working at the pre-school and next week I will be on Spring Break at the pre-school and be back to classes at Missouri State.  I am looking forward to sleeping in next week.  <img src='http://rayfamilyblog.net/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/bbsleep.gif' alt=':sleep:' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Well, I hope you are all doing well.  I just wanted to check in.  I have been the worst blogger.  Have a nice week!!  Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day next week!!   :patty:  :patty2: </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="moods"><img src="/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/wd-friday.gif" alt=" emoticon" /> </p><p>We had a lot of fun at Karl&#8217;s family&#8217;s Christmas party.  They had the 4-wheelers and they pulled the kids on sleds with them.  They had a great time and the kids got lots of great presents.  Karl&#8217;s mom made tons of wonderful food too.  :winter2:<br />
The snow has just kept going here.  We have been out of school all week except Wednesday, then it snowed again Wednesday night and we were out the rest of the week.  It is cold, so we have just stayed in and tried to stay warm.  Karl has been working, but he is working inside. :winter1:<br />
I think it is supposed to warm up next week&#8230;above freezing anyway.  I start my college class Monday.  I am taking Math for Educators this semester.  Math is not my strong area, so I am taking it by itself.  I will have class Monday and Wednesday night from 5:30PM-7:10PM, so I will be home earlier.  I am looking forward to that.<br />
There is not much else going on here.  We are just trying to stay warm.  Have a nice weekend!!  Happy New Year!!  :ny2: </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="moods"><img src="/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/wd-wednesday.gif" alt=" emoticon" /> </p><p>Thank-you for the help with my blog issues.  I just do not know what to do.  It seems that it is internet explorer along with wordpress.  It seems other browsers are fine here at my blog.  I use IE8 and it does fine, but I also know that some of you use IE8 and still have trouble,. so I do not know what the problem is and I really do not know how to fix it.  If you use IE8, there is a broken page up by the refresh button, if you click it, it will help you view websites that are older like mine.<br />
Anyway, Tuesday Josh and I went to a birthday party of a little boy that goes to the pre-school.  It was a lot of fun and I hope he had a wonderful birthday!!  Today we had a visitation to go to.  It was a friend of Karl&#8217;s family.  The funeral is tomorrow.  Karl is going, but I am going to take Josh and go visit my parents tomorrow.  If I do not, I will not get to.  I plan to put away the Christmas decorations on Friday and I have this spare bedroom that needs cleaned up on Saturday.  I also need to clean the rest of the house because Karl&#8217;s family is having Christmas at his parents house on Sunday.  Then I go back to work on Monday.  It has been nice having some time off.  I wish it wasn&#8217;t so busy.  :winter1:<br />
I better get off of here, I will try to make blog visits again soon.  Have a nice day and Happy New Year!!  :ny1: </p>
