That's code for ,"Help!" 

Have I mentioned I need help?

Yes, you knew this was coming.  AK living in a mess with 10-20 men running in and out of the house during the day.  I've lost it.  Yep.  Aren't you surprised??? 

Our new plan:

Piano times 4 kids and Hannah's cello done around breakfast time.

Math times 3 kids.

L. Arts times 3 kids. 

Latin review for older 3 while I do preschool with Abby.

Squeeze in Holly's violin while the others watch a video on my computer in their bedroom (see, I've LOST IT!). 

Tapestry of Grace written work.

LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR FIVE HOURS (help!)

Before bed, we'll pack lunches and books.  I'll read aloud (to regroup and find our family again - help!).  Sarah is practicing flexibility and practicing violin at bedtime.  She's also the lucky one who gets to go to ballet school, where things are normal, every now and then.  Saturdays will be for piano lessons, Sarah's science lab, and introducing our next week of history.  The girls still don't think history is "school," so there's no reason to take a break in that area.  Besides that, we're on the feudal system this week and get to study knights and castles.  That's good news. 

The other good news is that the necessary walls have been destroyed and moved.  Plumbing was done today.  The cement patio is done.  The siding is nearly 2/3rds complete.  We'll be fine, but for now...  HELP! 

Think of me in the afternoons.  Migraine and breathing problem free thoughts most welcome!

The addition will be wonderful. The addition will be wonderful.. The addition will be wonderful.

(That's the mantra I'd be chanting to retain a shred of sanity, lol)

It will be wonderful! :)

It is looking great! And I'd be having a hard time figuring out how to continue to run things amidst the chaos too. Praying for you in the afternoons!

I think you've done amazingly well with all of this AK! Keep smiling and repeating Dell's mantra and it'll be over soon enough. We have been having a MUCH smaller remodel project going on...with just one guy here and it's been enough to drive me batty. I can't imagine a whole crew of men day in and day out doing a larger project.
