Please see the following updates:

Trey continues to do well at the Montessori school. He continues to amaze me with his intellect. He wants to do lessons all of the time but sometimes I'm tired and want some time to myself. I pray his love and enthusiasm for learning stay with him as he gets older. However, I feel guilty when I tell him we have to do a lesson later. On Tuesday, Trey will have his tonsils and adenoids removed. I pray his recovery goes well.

Lately, I have had so many problems with Endia. Her room stays nasty and she continues to make low grades. I feel like a complete failure as a parent. I try to provide her with a quality education and nice place to live and it appears she doesn't appreciate anything. I've tried talking to her but to no avail. I asked her what are her plans for the future because it is going to be difficult getting into college with those low grades. I will continue to pray for her.

I have an interview with the doctoral committee on March 24. Hopefully, I will be accepted into the doctoral program at USC and receive a generous scholarship. I will also have a writing sample to complete on that day.

I will be writing again soon.

Life continues to pass me by. I have been so busy that I have not written a blog in 3 months. So much has happened during this time. My son turned 3 on Feb. 8th. His birthday party was at Chuck E. Cheese with family and a few friends. He wanted a Thomas the Train themed birthday party for the second year in a row. Trey started preschool the first week in Jan. and stayed at that facility for a month. I was not pleased with the attention or lack there of that Trey was getting. Everyday they were telling me that he had an accident in his clothes. However, he does not wet his clothes at home. Something was wrong with this picture. Also, he was not learning anything that he didn't already know. Trey started going to the Lake Murray Montessori School in Feb. He is making great progress and has not had any accidents. The school is very consistent and structured. Trey loves it but Mondays are not good for him. He usually cries when his dad drops him off but he is fine the rest of the week. Endia's grandmother passed away about two weeks ago. She is finally with God. This is an extremely difficult time for her grandfather because they were married over 40 years. Work is still work. I will try to be more consistent in posting future blogs.

See ya soon!
