Brian is taking Trinity and Christian to the first youth bible study. They are starting with John. Christian has been reading diligently for weeks now, and is so excited to be joining the youth group.
I am trying to have the house looking gorgeous by the time Brian gets home. I feel very bad that it has suffered, even though my ridiculous standards are far above what others would call bad. We are used to an immaculate home, and to have it be at all out of order is not good for my mental health. So I am going to try to mop and beautify in 1/2 hour.And fold 2 loads of laundry, and declutter a bit more. The problem with decluttering is that I really do use most of my stuff. It all fits the guideline of being used or being valued for enhancing our area.
I want to sit down and do a good long post on where I am in life right now. I need to actually work right now. I promise to make time to update better.

I am printing off some roller coaster word searches, and a couple Angelina Ballerina coloring pages for the 6 kidlets who will be home while I am at the store today. Trinity is at Youth Camp with church. The older three boys will go to Kid Camp at the end of the month.
I damaged my hand by walking through a doorway yesterday. :/ Yes, I am that clumsy. I just banged it into the frame just right. That warranted a trip to the VA for an x-ray. I am supposed to ice it, elevate it, and not use it for 2 weeks. *sigh* I actually feel a bit guilty because I have no plans to follow that advice.
We have had soooo many donations lately, and I do not have reliable volunteers so I am trekking to work early to try to sort some of it. I can not abide the mess or disorganization that will result if I throw it all in the back room.
I am really struggling with homeschooling ideals and reality. I don't want to work anymore, I really miss being home for the kids 24 hrs a day. :( Yet I still feel led to keep going, and am going to try waking the kids up earlier in the am so we can do 2 hrs before I leave. I don't know if that is realistic or not yet, just an idea right now.
