It is only October and it is snowing! It is one of those times where you want to say "God, what are You thinking?" BUT I know He is right and just and true and He has it all under control. I may not like it but that is okay. It is what He wants and I just have to deal with it. If you haven't figured it out yet, I hate snow! I hate cold! UGH! The good part to me is that it isn't sticking. Yeah for that!
Seth was excited yesterday. He has been working with JM on Tuesdays helping out here and there. Like folding boxes, cutting vegetables, just whatever is needed done. Well yesterday, they taught him how to answer the phones and take orders. He did a great job too. The owner gave him a shirt to wear so he can be out with the people. He thinks it is cool.
I am tired today. I usually am on Wednesday for some reason. I got up and went for my walk with my neighbor, even in the cold. BRRR!

I hate finding titles.
It is like when you are writing a story or something and you have to put a title on it. Or when you are writing a paragraph and you have to find the subject sentence of the paragraph. I just am not good at that. Just frustrating at times!
Yesterday morning John gets up and does the bathroom thing then comes back to bed. I asked him if he knew what time it was. It was cold and I didn't want to get out from under the blankets. He told me it is a little after 7:00. I thought, cool! Got a little time. I will get the boys up and in the shower and we will be good to go. Well, I got Joshua in the shower and am checking my e-mail and look at the time on my computer. It said 8:29 or something. WHAT!? I look at the clock in the bedroom and it says 7:29. I was beginning to think I was in the twilight zone or something. What happened was that our clock automatically sets itself for daylight savings and such. Well, it is set to do it with the old way. Which would have been yesterday had it not been for the government changing it. So it "fell back" an hour. UGH! So we hurried around as fast as possible and we weren't too late for church thankfully. Not good going around thinking you had plenty of time and realizing you had and hour! UGH!
We had dinner with a family from the church. The husband is our SS teacher. They are nice and we had a good time. It was mostly John and Steve talking but that is normal. I am usually pretty quiet. They have 4 daughters and Joshua didn't think he would have too much fun but he did. He played with their dogs, rode bikes, and played tether ball. Seth went with us too and sat with the adults and talked. JM couldn't go because of a meeting for work.
In November the church is having a public school revival. They had prizes that needed to be bought and was asking people in the church to buy them. We picked up 2 tickets and bought what was on it.
I bought a new curriculum last night that Terry Hamilton wrote. It is called The First 2000 Years of Baptist History. I haven't looked through it completely but I am confident it will be educational and correct. I can't wait to get a chance to dive more into it.
I cannot believe how cold it is already. I am not wanting winter to come or the snow. I hate being cold! I need to move to TX or some place warm. I liked living in TX. It was not bad in my book.
Someone made us a special offer. We don't know all the details, but it is something we have to decide if we even want to pursue it. Keep us in prayer as we consider the offer, learn more about it, and make a decision. Thanks! I will share more when I can.

Stolen Innocence
I just finished reading a book called Stolen Innocence My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs. It is about a girl that grew up in the FLDS and was force to marry at 14 to a cousin she hated. It was very eye opening to see what these people actually believe and how easily they are brainwashed and manipulated. It just shows that Satan can pull the wool over your eyes so easily. I felt so bad for this girl but it does turn out well. I won't tell you the ending just in case you decide to read it. There are some parts that are a little descriptive, but it is a good book. It is just sad that this girl had to go through this. You will Praise the Lord for the life and parents you have.
JM is now the new manager of Pizza BOGO! He is very excited that he was made manager. Pray for him as he does this job. Pray he can do it, but also that he can be a witness to others. I worry that he has so much responsibility at such a young age. He is a smart man though and I am sure he will be fine. Still pray for him if you will.
Two posts in one day... wow!

Monday... Blah!
I was bummed last night realizing the weekend was over and we had to start over again with a new week. I actually enjoyed my weekend. I usually do I guess, but more so this weekend. It just went fairly well I guess. We didn't do anything exciting, or out of the ordinary. John and I both worked Saturday night. I got home around 9:00 but he had to work until closing. I was zonked when he got home.
Of course Sunday was church. We were late for Sunday School but didn't miss anything, thankfully. The teacher invited our family over for dinner after church this coming Sunday. We agreed to go. The church is having a missions conference this week. They had it yesterday, then Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Then I think if finishes up next Sunday. Yesterday Dr. Wendell Runion was there. Wednesday the Combs Family, Thursday Gary Lukas, Friday the Bryan Family, and on Sunday the Hamilton Family. I just thought I would let some of you know in case you are interested.
School is still trucking along. I am really thankful that it is going so well. I hope it continues. We have had enough rough times with school during our career of homeschooling. I am ready for a good year. Seth is really enjoying co-op and is doing well with those classes as well as the ones he is doing at home. I think if all goes as planned he will be graduating next year. It is still a little early to tell yet. He could if he really wanted to and he does. He wants to graduate with his friends at co-op.

Tasty Tuesday
I got my first paycheck last night! It feels weird to actually get a paycheck. When we did the newspapers the money was directly deposited into our checking account. I didn't get paid for all I worked. I am not sure I will say anything this time. What happened was that I went the first day and I wasn't in the computer system to log in and out. So I was there for about 4 hours but he forgot to pay me for them. He is the type you have to remind a few times. He has an accountant that does his paychecks so if the person doesn't see that I was logged in and logged out, he can't see that I worked. Anyway, I might just let it go. Today isn't a good day to ask about it anyway with it being Tasty Tuesday. Any large pizza for $5. You can get any toppings and as many pizzas as you want for $5. If you haven't tried it yet, you should. Good pizza! www.pizzabogo.com is the website.
I am enjoying the nice weather we have been having the last few days. Especially in the morning for my walks with Sara. I am so not ready for winter. One thing I am thankful for with the winter coming is that I don't have to get up at 2:00 AM to do the papers!
The paper place paid us too much money and we had to write them a check to pay it back. We knew they paid us too much but didn't know how much. Henry called and gave us a total. We met him at the warehouse on Saturday. He asked us to come back and we said NO! but in a nice manor. Screaming NOOOOOOO in the inside you know. LOL Then he asked if we would consider being subs. We could pick what days we wanted to do it and stuff, but we both said no to that too. That actually pays good money! You get $25 a night plus commission from the deliveries. Way more than what you get being a straight carrier. You get ripped off being a carrier compared to that. I am just glad that part of life is over.
At church they started a new thing where the adults have different Sunday School classes. They have about 7 different adult classes to choose from and they are geared toward your age group. We had the teacher and his wife, then two other couples, then us in the class. John thought it was neat, but I didn't really care for it. It was only the first day though, so we will see. I will give it a chance. We haven't joined the church yet. We don't want to jump into anything.

Remember Me?
It has been a while since I have posted. I have been busier than I thought I guess. Or I should say more tired than I thought! I feel pretty good today, so that is a plus. I went to bed a little earlier as I was in a lot of pain. Since I have had Joshua, I have had some pain (like a cramp) every now and then. Usually it is a dull ache that I can deal with, but it does stop me for just a few minutes. Last night it was doubling over and not functioning type of pain. It was unreal how much it hurt. I don't know what is wrong and JB keeps telling me to go to the dr. blah! Today it is better. Praise the Lord for that.
Work is going good. I am working a few more hours than I had planned but that is okay I guess. JB is home with them the one night, JM comes home and is with them one night, but Joshua is alone for a few hours on one night. He is fine and I have neighbors keeping their eyes and ears open but I just feel bad he is alone for a few hours. It is a lot of guilt because I don't want him home alone making his own dinner. That is my job, you know? He thinks it is cool. It isn't like he has never stayed alone before, but it is the point that I feel bad about it. I had a friend offer to have him come over for one of the nights. They have a wooded area to play in and would find tons to do, plus the outdoors would do him some good. I may take her up on it, especially before winter sets in.
School is trucking along really well. I am so thrilled to have to having a great school year. Last year was not good. You cannot tell by their test scores though. They did fantastic on their testing for last year. I guess they did get it! LOL This year I think is going well. We are done before noon most days and it is just going well. Science with Joshua takes a lot of time. Their is just so much to the reading and questions and such. It does have fairly easy experiments so that helps.
The guy that assaulted JB was indicted. He has a hearing on Monday. JB does not have to go to any of the hearings unless he wants too. Pray the guy confesses or takes a deal or something. That is me asking. I don't wan to have to go to court nor have the boys testify. Seth is nervous about that.
I guess that about catches you up with life at the Bergman's.

New Job
I am starting my new job today. John and JM work at the same pizza place. A girl that worked there moved away and they needed someone to answer the phones and take orders. Hubby thought it would be fun if we worked together again. He told me I didn't have to, it was up to me. Well I figured for a few hours a week couldn't hurt. I went in today and talked to him and he wants me to start tonight. I will work a few hours tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday night. I had to buy pants. That was weird! I haven't bought a pair of pants in many, many years. Amazingly the first pair I tried on fit. I found a store that has clothes that actually fit me! Wow! Short and fat ;-) It is hard to find that size.
It is chilly today. I am not ready to turn on the heat yet. I hope I can convince my husband the same thing. He gets cold faster than I do. I actually learned to wear a sweater! I wish I could teach him that. It is so expensive to turn on the heat. I am so cheap!
John and Seth are going camping tomorrow night with the scouts. It will be a chilly night for them but that is part of scouting. I hope they stay warm and have a good time. I am sure they will. Better them than me! I am so supportive of their camping. Hee hee!
