...to have a nervous breakdown!  After all, I've been working on it all year.  But it seems as though it's too little, too late.  After all, MIL is living in NC now, and we're getting caught up in school.  Except for  biology...

And I do have my cards mailed, and the decorations up. We have a party this weekend so we had to be done! And that was one of the reasons we planned the party so early in the season, we knew we'd get DONE!

But life is still changing.  Apparently, God is not quite ready to let us get comfortable.  My car needed $2000 worth of repairs this week. And then DS's car wouldn't start last night...at midnight...an hour away from us.  Poor hubby rode to the rescue, and by the grace of God got the car started and back to the dorm (and didn't get back home until 3 am).  The battery connector had disintegrated on the post.  I'm not sure how hubby got  enough contact to get the car home.  Especially since today, when he went to reattach the cable, the post broke off due to corrosion.  What a miracle that they got the car back to the dorm!  BTW, did you know that if your car breaks down in a parking garage, you have to find a way to get it out of the garage before the tow truck can pick it up...which can be a challenge if your car isn't running!

However, the $2000 repair has changed things greatly. We now have the opportunity to "homestead"  My friends will tell you that this is something that I don't excel at.  Too much time at home and I want to jump off a cliff.  But we have to rein in the budget...big time.  So the art lessons will be a thing of the past.  Co-ops...no way.  But the good news is that we may just have the most productive school year ever.  And maybe DD will even learn to sew...

Feeling blessed, how about you?
