I can't believe it has been all this time since I last posted. There has been so much going on.
We finally got a taste of summer just when it is supposed to start feeling like fall. It was wonderful. The only thing that got us was the fact that there was little to no wind. I tell you what hot weather with no breezes and high humidity will test the most diehard summer lover. Today we are seeing the more typical weather for this time of year; dark and dreary. When this weather comes I remember how much I don’t like it here. It takes a lot more work on my part to keep my focus on the Lord. He is my sunshine even when I can’t see or feel the sun.
Well I haven’t had another egg fiasco. I did get some larger eggs this past Thursday. What I can’t remember is how big the eggs are stateside so I can’t say how big they are really. I must say though it is wonderful to have some eggs that are not tiny.
I can’t wait! We are replacing the desk that has served us well over the last 5 years. It has served its purpose and getting on my nerves. It takes up way to much space with inadequate storage options. We found some wonderful shelves that have loads of features at IKEA this past Saturday. Getting this desk out of here will be a blessing. I am going to love the fact that all the school stuff will have a place to go. This shelf will have lots of organizing tools. What’s more is that it will be lockable. I get tired of keeping my young ones out of things they are not supposed to be into.
Hubby is starting school again this week after a two week break. He has 16, 5 week classes to go; he takes these classes through the University of Phoenix Online offerings. I cannot wait for this time period to be over with. It has been more of a sacrifice than I thought it was going to be. Of course he still works; it leaves us so little time together as a family.
My MIL is coming to town. She hasn’t seen our two youngest children. The kids are all excited about her upcoming visit. I am looking forward to seeing her again but I am getting a bit nervous as the time approaches. We are so different from each other. I homeschool she sent her kids to public school. She was a working mother and still works and I stay at home. I am artsy and she is not. I am concerned the kids and I will overwhelm her and she will never want to come back. It has been over 6 years since her last visit.
The kids are so excited; they got new Sunday shoes and pajamas today. Steven got some more Sunday pants and shirts as well. They all are wearing their new pajamas. It is only a couple more hours until bed time.
