Branson

We're in Branson for a week. Molly and I have been working a puzzle in the "clubhouse". We've gotten a lot of it done. It's been fun and I'm seeing where I got my attention to details from. I grew up doing puzzles. It's been hard doing it with someone because I used to always do it alone.

One of my youngest students "quit" last week. I can't say I'm disappointed because, since she didn't want to take, she wasn't easy to have during the lesson. I can't believe I took a student who really didn't want to take. I thought she'd be okay after she got used to it, but she never did her homework. It seemed like her mom wasn't taking the initiative to help her.

I quit going to the tanning bed about 2 months ago because the bulbs were almost 2 years old and I was having to stay in for 20 minutes. I'm noticing how bad I look. The sun spot below my right eye is showing up more because the skin around it is getting lighter. I had Johnny get me some lightener when he went to Dr. Newell last week. I was so glad he gave it to him. I haven't started using it yet because, well, I don't know why. I guess I'll go back to the tanning bed next week. I look so old around my eyes and my legs are so pale with the sun spots showing up more.

My 6th grade Discipleship group was much better last Wed. I had written an email to the moms about the behavior and we had all the girls sitting further apart in the room during the "lesson". The only thing is that Haley wasn't there and she's one who sometimes gets impatient with the other ones acting so silly and not paying attention.
