10:00-chores

2:00- Football game for Samuel

Sep. 24, 2008 - Books

Well, we didn't get to everything on the schedule today, but the sun was just to happy for us to sit around and do school. So of course we had to quit early and play. The kids liked that.

Tomorrow we might not get to much done for school. My husband has to go to the Hospital for either a M.R.I. or a C.A.T scan. I'm not exactly sure which one it is. He has a lot of back pain and they want to try to pinpoint the problem.Needless to say Fieldtrip!!!! I'll take every and any chance for a fieldtrip. Who wouldn't?

Since I quit my full time job driving school bus last week I decided to sell Usborne Books . I figure with selling books I can do it on my time , my kids can help(no more babysitters),and I'll be here in the morning to help my husband get his day started.Which he is really happy about. The books are great . My family loves books so we were generally attracted to the Usborne  books www.ubah.com/X2111. Their like no other books we've ever had. Check them out here  Usborne Books.

I think it's time for me to go get a book, relax and go to bed. My friend was telling me today about the Anne Frank story.I have never heard of her life before today. She sounds like she was a very brave young women . I actually have the young readers version of the Anne Frank story so I might go grab that and read that before bed.

Sep. 23, 2008 - Bunnies

                                                Bunny

Today we discovered baby bunnies in our rabbits' cage. How surprised we were!!! We had no idea our rabbit was even pregnant.The kids are so excited. They're already picking out which rabbit belongs to which kid. I think there are 5 bunnies altogether. It's hard to tell cause of all the rabbit fur surrouning them. Now we had 2 rabbits to begin with, we had no idea what the sex is of either rabbit. We're still not real sure. Both of the rabbits have gotten out of thier cages quite a few times and we have many wild rabbits running around our house. So I wonder if a wild rabbit (male) mated with one of ours, or if one of ours is male. I have no clue. We have checked both of our rabbits out and we can't figure out what the sex is. I don't even know which rabbit had the bunnies.The people we got the rabbits from couldn't even tell what they were. Well I guess I better figure it out soon or we are going to be having a rabbit farm on our hands.

 Farmer  Wish me luck!!!!  I'll post some pics of the bunnies in a couple of days.

Sep. 21, 2008 - Free

As of Friday I was a free women. My last day working full time as a bus driver. I'm still going to work as a sub driver one to two days a week, but that's it.  I'm so happy about this. It was a very stressful decision though. Should I quit my job,or should I keep working outside the home. My choice to quit came to me after I prayed for about a week . I asked God to give me the desire of his will in this situaion. Boy did he ever give me the desire!!! First off my best friend, who also worked with me, told me she was quitting. It was such a sign from God seeing that I never told her I was thinking about quitting. Second, I felt so weird inside, couldn't eat or sleep. I felt so consumed with this urge to quit. It was so obvious to me what God wanted me to do. I was to put my 2 wks notice in and be the stay at home mother God wants me to be.

God is Awesome!!

It is just so cool to be able to talk to him everyday. He has done so much in my family's lives as well as mine!!!!
