Its Monday and the dc's are planning their week of rest.  They will be off from Wed to Mon of school and they think its great.  It works great, because dh is home these days and I thought it would be good for them to be able to spend time w/him.  I still must work, though, everyday this week except Thur. from 9a-1p, but thats okay I choose to do this for a season and I'll keep my word w/o complaints.   Sk8erChick will work two days instead of three this week and be off from Thur to Wed ~ nice little break for that girl of mine.

Today has been slow going, no one really seems interested in anything and I think its a good time for a rest.  Tomorrow closes our 11th week, which means we have only one lesson week in the term, then its exam week.  Our term has 13 weeks, which gives us a week for exams.  Once exams are over, they will have some down time and then we will work on a leisurely schedule til the first of the year.

If all goes according to plan, we can finish our week successfully tomorrow, get our chores finished by Wed including the grocery shopping.  Then we will visit w/friends in Muskogee for Thanksgiving.   We will celebrate as a family later in the day or on Friday, which is what we normally do if we go to someone else's home on the holiday.  Its kinda nice to be invited to share a holiday w/another family especially when your family doesn't live near you.  I'm not sure we would actually spend this holiday w/my family, another story for another day , but we would have spent it w/our church family back home.  Just like we did for our last Thanksgiving before moving out to OK.  I have fond memories of that day and my ds just asked me about the dessert and sweet potato casserole that was served.  I think I'll email my dear friend for the recipe.

Tomorrow, I'll take the time to outline our Thanksgiving dinner menu in a post and maybe share a recipe or two.  I have been reading some at other blogs and some look absolutely delicious. I may just link to their blogs too.

Well, time to turn in for the night, more tomorrow.

Til next time ~ in the Life & Times of the Excelsior Warriors!
