It's A Sad Day On The Farm



If you remember, few weeks back I told you about our cat, Mopey. He had gotten seriously congested and came down with a nasty sinus infection. After a trip to the vet, she put him on a strong antibiotic. It seemed to help but then Mopey took a turn for the worse.

I am sad to say, that  our sweet Mopey has passed away. This has been extremely hard for our family, especially Skippy, as Mopey has been his best buddy since birth.

Goodbye, sweet Mopey. You have left a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. We  YOU and you will be greatly missed!

 
"The Lord will hear your crying, and He will comfort you. When He hears you, He will help you!"
Isaiah 30:19

The Simple Woman's Daybook



 

 

For Today...June 15, 2009



Outside my window...I can see the dogs playing.  We have one, and I am watching my sister's 2 dogs while her and her family are in Florida.  They are so adorable and playing nicely.  Although the cats aren't too happy!  :> (

I am thinking...that there is a TON of laundry to do and lots of weeds to pull


I am thankful for...that I live in a country where I can freely worship Jesus Christ

From the learning rooms...we are finished with testing and will be taking a break for a bit.  We will still do reading, spelling, and some handwriting over the summer, otherwise it will be SO HARD to get Kiddo back into the swing of it in the fall

From the kitchen...we are having burnt pancakes LOL

I am wearing...my nightgown

I am creating...a mess in my kitchen

I am going...CRAZY today, trying to figure out why I am burning these pancakes!
I am reading...Having A Mary Spirit and A Bride Most Begrudging

I am hoping...to get a new crochet hook today so I can start an afghan for Needles for the Needy

I am hearing...the birds chirping outside....BEAUTIFUL!

Around the house...there is sewing that needs to be done, but I hate to sit in front of the machine on such a GORGEOUS day!

One of my favorite things...is my ipod.  I love to listen to my christian music while I mow the lawn

A few plans for the rest of the week...I hope to get a clothes line put back up.  My nephew decided to hang on it and it came down.  :> (

Here is picture thought I am sharing...


To read more Daybook posts or learn how to participate, please visit Peggy at The Simple Woman's Daybook.

Blessings~

Summer's HERE!





WOW! It's hard to believe that our testing is finished and our summer is beginning. I am so proud of my Kiddo. I really am amazed how much he remembered and how much his brain had really absorbed by way of osmosis. Some of you know what I mean. You know those days where they could not concentrate and did not/would not/could not pay attention to what was being taught, and you knew by a shadow of a doubt that NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, got through to that brain of theirs. Well, surprise, surprise.....the joke was on ME! LOL   He he only missed 2 in the L/A section and only 3, if I remember correctly, from the Math section.  WAY TO GO!    You made your momma PROUD!

Thanks, Kiddo....

 


As for next year, I have told him that things ARE going to be DIFFERENT!   For instance, there will be a set schedule as far as when and what we will be working on.  We have found out that works soooo much better for him by trial and error.  I wanted to make things a bit more relaxed, but that really didn't work too well, at least in not in that area.  

 


OMGosh...I didn't realize what time it was, so unfortunately, I am going to have to run. We have a few things to do before Bible Study, Youth Group, and choir practice tonight. Hopefully, I can get on tomorrow and delete this section and finish the rest of what I wanted to post.

So until tomorrow.......
