It looks like it will be raining here for the next few days, well into next week. We are in desperate need of it, yet it doesn't make taking five kids anywhere much fun. My dh switched with someone at work and had off the last two days but is now working all weekend, so I think we will tackle a few extra days of school while he isn't around and it raining-it seems to make a good combination to to getting things done-but alos for some lounging around and a good movie or two. I just saw Yours, Mine and Ours was on our VOD, so that sounds like a good afternoon plan.  Days like this, I think, give you the "OK" to be lazy and do nothing-well except for the laundry of course, that never ends around here. Maybe I'll even get ambitious and finish up my portfolio over the weekend. I'm finding I don't have a whole lot for Science this year or even History...we've just read a bunch and don't have much to "show" for it. I'll have to go back and figure something out.

I just started reading Beth Moore's Breaking Free book, I did the bible study a while ago but have never read the book, I think it's going to be great, I'm already hooked and learning so much....she amazes me...but I also stop and think, you know, I could just be so much better off and closer to the Lord if I just spent time.... time and prayer. How simple is that...His burderns are are not too heavy and He nevers gives us more then we can handle....so be encouraged, He is a God of compassion and grace. Thank you, Lord.....for you are good :-)
