As usual, we have had a busy week. Throw in a few cases (five of the kids) with stomach flu, and there were plenty of exciting moments!
Tonight we had a night out on the town with the family. We didn't leave until after 7:00 pm, but still hit quite a few stores. The kids were most excited about looking at all the pop-up campers at some used trailer lot on the north side of town. Steve has a big vacation in the west planned for us, but we really can't do it without a pop-up camper (so says the wise leader of our home 
). I'm striving to have the same "vision" as my husband on this one since I could think of twenty other things to spend money on. Submission is something I do quite readily, but sometimes my heart sure has other plans. I'm working on it 
!
So, tonight we went to Aldi, the camper place, Goodwill (found some 50% off purple shirts - both Hannah and Nathan are on purple teams this year), Meijer (got some chocolate chips for 50 cents a bag after coupons, and Target to get Steve's plasma money.
All this was after a partial day of subbing, volunteering at the Rescue Mission, and trying to squeeze in school and some chores. Steve is also preparing for a funeral tomorrow. Hopefully Steve and I don't wake up with the stomach flu tonight! Oh well, the LORD knows best.
I planned out the rest of the school year. It looks like Hannah will be done in two more weeks. Who knows when Sarah will be done! I don't nag, so it may take her a while. We will just keep going until the books are done.
