Yesterday had it's bumps in the road, but by the time I laid my head on our soft, freshly scented, Egyptian cotton pillowcases, I had accomplished as much as God wanted me to accomplish. I worked on the Israel unit as planned, feverishly typing as much as I could. By the time I'd left for Griffyn's doctor appointment, I had accomplished a good amount -- not as much as I'd hoped, but a good amount nonetheless. We took the chocolate bars to Griffyn's appointment to try and sell a few more. Our goal is 20 boxes, which equals 1040 bars. A HUGE goal, I know, but it's for our homeschool group. We love our support group so much that we want to help raise as much money as possible! We sold just 5 bars at the doctor's office. Not as much as I'd hoped, but five closer to our goal. On our way to the Opera House for the orientation and parent's meeting, the car overheated and we broke down. Matthew was teaching a guitar lesson and didn't answer the phone. Thankfully, a friend came to get us and brought us back to our house. We were able to take the van and make it for the parent's meeting, but we missed the training session for the placement vocals. It's okay, they told us. Skyler can just sing scales for her placement appointment today. Again...not what we'd planned, but still okay. I picked up Matt and the other kids up at church, and we came home to a house that's messier than I like it to be. I could have stayed up cleaning, but I knew that it would thwart my early wake up. So I checked email and went to bed. I'm working toward getting back to a 5am wake up time. The lazy days of summer saw me sleeping until 7:30 -- 8:00 am. Yesterday I got up at 6:30. Today 6:20. My goal is to reach 5 am by Monday when we start school, but the lesson of yesterday taught me that my plans are not always God's plans. I'll work hard and trust His grace to take me wherever he'd have me be. Goal for today -- finish entering information for Isreal unit and begin organizing it. Sam has a dermatologist appointment, and Skyler has per vocal placement for the Opera House. Matt is going to take the kids through the neighborhood tonight to sell chocolate bars, so that should give me some time to get work done. |
