Mondays are busy for me.  Benjamin has speech therapy in the afternoon, so by time we go there and any errands I have, my day is just about over.  Tonight, the girls had an ice-cream social for Girl Scouts.  Katie had American Girl night at B&N too, but she opted to not go.  Darn.  ;-)  I"ll be glad when it's Tuesday.  :-)

School went well today.  We accomplished everything we needed to get done, amazingly.  :-)  I even read both of our Sonlight books tonight!  I've been researching curriculum for next year.  I'm trying to get some in-put from the kids.  They all said they want to continue with Sonlight for next school year.  I'm glad they're enjoying it, but have you seen how $$ Sonlight is?  Ugh.  :-)  Oh well.  I want them to like what we're doing, so I'm sure it'll be money well spent.  The girls chose Apologia Zoology I.  I'm not sure I like that decision, but that's what they chose.  The only experience I have with Apologia is 7th grade General Science. That bores me to tears.  So, hopefully Zoology won't.  heehee.  I've still got some decisions to make, but I'm making good progress.  Now....to find the $$ to pay for everything.  HA!  It's funny how researching curriculum gets me fired up about homeschooling again.  I needed to be fired up too.  lol. 

I heard from Mike this morning.  He woke me up with a phone call at 5:30am.  Ugh.  Good thing I planned ahead and brought the phone to bed with me.  :-)  They had landed in Germany to re-fuel.  I'm certain he's in Kuwait right now,   I'm sure he's super busy.  Gotta make sure those tanks actually shoot you know.  :-)  I'm not quite sure it's even hit me that he's gone yet.  I've barely cried at all, which isn't like me.  I'm a crier.  :-)  Oh well.  Maybe it's just that he's gone so much that it seems normal?  Until next time...............
