Whew, it has been a busy few days!
Saturday Doug didn’t get home from work until about 11pm. Isaac went to work with him. What did the rest of us do? Oh, Allen had bowling in the morning. Jordan went to watch and ended up staying all day to be a lane monitor for a state women’s tournament. They are doing that most weekends through June.
I cleaned house, made bread, visited with my step-mom and relaxed while they were gone. When Allen got home, we ran to the store for stuff to make pizza. It was SO yummy. I napped and Allen did this and that.
Sunday Doug lane monitored the tournament. The boys and I went to church. After church, Jordan and Isaac were in the Pepsi regional bowling tournament. Allen went to watch. I took a nap. I also went with friends to a family night at a country bar (no alcohol, no smoking, all ages) for country line dancing. It was SO fun! Next time, my family isn’t going to be busy, and they are going too.
Monday was super, duper busy. I did school, got dinner together, did laundry, and prepared food for the Lia Sophia jewelry party I had that evening. After dinner, the boys had quiet time, I talked to Doug before he went to work, and then I rested for about ½ hour. The afternoon was spent correcting school and getting things together for the party. We had a great time! It was such fun to have fellowship and see my family.
Yesterday was less busy. We did school, Isaac went to the produce store with me, I went to Curves while the boys had lunch, took a nap, corrected school, finished laundry, ran Jordan to and from church for his small group and made some phone calls.
Today the first order from the Frankferd Farms co-op I started is to be delivered. I was expecting it Friday. I’m glad it will be here today, as we are busy Friday. Only one other gal ordered with me this month, so we’ll run her things to her before Doug goes to work.
Monday Doug spent quite a bit of time on the phone with a potential employer. The job is his as long as he passes a drug screen and road test. That won’t be a problem. He goes Friday at 7:30 am. If you think of it, please be in prayer for us. This will be quite a change for us and I am a little nervous. I know it is necessary, but that doesn’t make it easy.
The rest of the week is more of the same. School, Curves, clean, cook, nap lol. Doug took vacation this weekend and we have quite a few plans. Prayer group is at our house on Sunday. So I’ll spend Saturday morning preparing food (sauce and meatballs, bread, a coffee cake) and cleaning. I’m looking forward to hosting prayer group, but the amount of kids that come, running through my house and eating everywhere, it stresses me LOL.
Well, ladies, I pray ya’ll are having a peace-filled week! |

Thanks for the post on my blog. I figured I'd try that contest since I've been getting very few comments these days. It's really discouraging. I'm not sure if HSB even realizes how bad it is! I too have thought about moving to blogspot, but is it as homeschool friendly as this 'used' to be? For now my blog is open only to HSB members, maybe I should change that and see what happens...ugh, I'm not sure. I just don't want a bunch of weirdos reading my blog. It does seem though that lots of HSB members are moving there though...hmmm....
You sound like you've been really busy these days. I was so sorry to read about your brother's passing 14 years ago. That must be a hard day for you each year. So sad. I loved your DNA post - very cool!!! Love all the photos. You do a lot of fun homeschool things with the boys. It's hard for me since I have 1 of each (boy and girl) and they're 6 years apart - we don't get to do too many things together.
Anyhow, thanks for being a faithful friend on HSB - I always love reading your posts and comments. I need to be more faithful too...but as you said, it's not easy since it's hard to get on HSB when it's actually working.
Blessings!
