The Rest of the Story....I mean, the Week!!

    I went into this week with NO expectations but if I had had some, this week would have exceeded anything I could have imagined! Praise the LORD! Tori settled right into homeschooling like she's been doing it for years. She worked hard, and totally amazed me.

    Wednesday, Hunter had his appointment with the therapist and dietician at the hospital. I left Tori with lots of work to do. We were gone for about two hours. When we arrived home, she was out on the deck swing doing her work. She had completed four subjects! I was impressed.

    Thursday was my first day of working in Belle's school. It was hard being on my feet for such long periods of time. Being a SAHM allows me to sit down whenever I want. There is a lot to know as well, the kids, the procedures, lots of new names and rules. I got in "trouble" for wearing too short a skirt. LOL It's to be BELOW the knee. I was very tired by the end of the day.

   Thursday was also our 15th wedding anniversary. Ron took me out for a lovely dinner. We ate on the patio of the restaurant and enjoyed the beautiful evening weather. After he took me shopping for flat shoes for work!!

Friday was Tori's first time going to Friday Group. This is a group of teens who get together every week for drama, music, and art. Tori was reluctant to go but came home raving about it. I'm so pleased. She ended the week with four quizzes in her school work.

As for Belle, she had a great week in her new school. She loves the uniforms and I do too. Other than it's extra work for me doing laundry and ironing! She made friends very quickly and feels a part of things already. She is also getting to know new procedures and has caught on quickly to a new way of learning. I think it will be a good year!

Thanks, Gena! No I haven't tried random blogging. I don't get much time on the computer. Hopefully, I will when things get into a routine.

And thank you, Becky! We did have a lovely evening. We will go away in October for a weekend to celebrate when there's more time.

Glad to hear Tori is doing so well. She is beginning to see some advantages of being homeschooled. She couldn't sit on the deck swing at a "regular" school. If Tori chatters like you (or my 12 y.o.) when she is excited, I can imagine what it was like on Friday night!
Happy Anniversary! You said 15 years, right? Newlyweds! We are coming up on 27, next Friday.
It sounds like it is time for Belle to learn to iron. Why don't you have to wear a uniform when you work at the school? Do the full-time teachers?
I trust things will continue well for you.
