Thursday Thirteen---March 9, 2006

Things about My Week

1. I took the dogs with me to work at my daughter's grooming, boarding and daycare, Pawsitively Purrfect. They got a bath and their toenails done.

2. We went to the antique mall on Sunday and I saw an old print from the old readers that I had in first grade. The teacher used to put these on an easel for us. It was of good ol' Alice, Jerry, and their faithful dog, Jip. How I wished I had money to splurge!

3. My husband wrecked my diet by taking me out to eat at a pizza buffet.

4. My granddaughter delivered my Girl Scout cookies, which were ordered prior to my Blubber Blogger Club days, and now I have to walk at least 20 minutes before eating each cookie! Trust me, I eat each cookie VERY SLOWLY and with tiny little bites and savor every moment.

5. My dog threw up all over three rooms. YUCK!!! GROSS!!!

6. We found out that my mother-in-law most likely has breast cancer. Scary time for us.

7. I saved tons of money at the grocery this week, and got a fridge full of food, using very little money and The Grocery Game.

8. We found out that my daughter Chelle and her husband definitely get to make the trip to Delaware to meet the 2 boys they hope to adopt!

9. I am reading a really good new book by the Suarez's, called Homeschooling Methods, that I will be reviewing once I am done reading it.

10. I am overjoyed to hear that my oldest son made it into law school, and also that he will be moving back to Ohio this summer!!! YEAH!!!

11. My brother-in-law from Florida flew up to be with my mother-in-law, so we will probably get to spend some time with him this weekend. We don't get to see him often, so this will be a treat, even if it is under not the best of circumstances that he had to come home.

12. BJ and I went out to eat with my Dad tonight at Bob Evans. I was a good girl and had soup and a half sandwich, so I wouldn't have to walk forever and ever when I got home to keep the numbers on the scale from going up.

13. I was able to walk at 2 miles per hour for the first time, and for longer than 1/2 hour, believe it or not. Aren't you proud of me? LOL

As a homeschool family, we have had to learn to homeschool "Through It All." Illnesses, deaths, job losses, financial struggles, prodigal children, marital and family problems, and trying to build and now rebuild a family homeschool business have tried to take their toll on us. But "through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus; I've learned to trust in God..." Just as our little granddaughter trusted us and held our hand throughout her short but precious life, so we trust and hold onto the hand of our Heavenly Father, through it all..... I share our struggles as well as our joys in hope that others will find encouragement to persevere through whatever life may have in store, and to know that they are not alone... ~~~Kathy~~~
