I had it all planned to start back to school this week.   We school year round and have enjoyed about 4 weeks off. 

Monday went great.   We had a great day and all went as planned.  Well, almost as planned.  My printer isn't working very well.  It will print black & white items just fine but the color is a "no go". 

Tuesday was a busy day, which I knew ahead of time and had made adjustments in my planning for this week.  Bekah had her piano evaluation   and then she had an orthodontist appointment followed by a mom's meeting that I was hosting that night. 

Wednesday Bekah woke with a sore throat which turned into a fever and aches.   Called our pediatrician and they said to bring her in.  So we took her in and they did a strep test.  The rapid test came back negative so we wait for the call to see how the overnight culture does.  He said he thinks it's just a virus that needs to run its course.   I take the time to deal with the printer again because I really need some color items for Mark (we are rowing Miss Rumphius this week) and I still can't get the color to work. ugghhhhh

So here we are on Thursday and things are not going as planned.  I remind myself that it's okay if school doesn't go as planned this week.  God is in control and none of this is taking Him by surprise.  As I type this entry, all children are still asleep so I'm not sure what today will hold but I do know that we'll follow Psalm 34:1.

Psalm 34:1 "I will praise the LORD at all times;
    His praise will always be on my lips"
