Day started slow, ended great
Posted in education
Until about 11, today seemed like a nothing day. Gray and cold. And windy. I had to go to the vet and pick up our kitty. He is doing better, but the bill! Whoa. I spend more on vet bills lately than I do pediatricians. At that point, his future was still a little iffy but he is doing wonderfully tonight. Eating on his own though we are still having to force water. After vet, I drop my daughter off and without even going inside, go pick up a friend to go visit a couple of women who are members of our church. I had made a promise to visit these women every month, to check on them and make sure they didn't need anything, or rather to see if they did, but I have to admit my heart wasn't in it this morning. Yet, I had made the obligation so there I went. It was only an hour to visit the two, yet I realized in the second house, I had not even seen my youngest daughter because she was asleep when I went to the vets. I missed her so terribly at that moment. I sped home and she was waiting for me at the door. It seems she had missed me too.  Cuddle the baby, made my Joshua(ds7) his favorite lunch.....which is rice and beans of all things. Won't eat veggies but loves rice and beans.  And whole wheat bread with pumpkin butter. So, after lunch, have a long, overdue talk with ds8, Thomas, about being good and kind and right even when others aren't and how to make better choices in certain situations. It was a good moment between the two of us. I hope he remembers it later.  Then we had two great lessons in a row....American History and Earth Science. I don't know why they were great, but they asked a lot of questions and wow, I knew the answers. In fact, Thomas came back later with more questions about types of rock and we looked some stuff up and talked more. Even did a science experiment/demonstration on how sediment forms. Nothing fancy, just good learning. We have been slackers lately and I was determined to do some stuff today. Still haven't started helping the older girls' make their skirts but that is what tommorow is for! So the day started slow, seemed like a lost cause, but by tonight, it felt good. |
