Just incase anyone thinks I only post the HAPPY side of things-- today was a HORRIBLE day!!

If I wasn't so exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically I would take a picture of the dirty dishes on the kitchen table and kitchen counters....  I would take a picture of the clean laundry folded all over the livingroom couch.....

It started out a bit rocky-- Stephen cried from the moment he woke up-- not sure what is going on there-- teething, ears?  I don't know-- 

The high point was a free movie at the local theatre- Charlottes Web (we've seen it before-- but it was air conditioned and FREE)

Then we ran 2 errands to buy Jason some new shirts for work-- had lunch out (not in the budget) .... and home for nap time / QT!!

Woke up-- to a sick goat-- (new baby-- diareaha-- I don't know how to spell that word right now and I'm not in any mood to look it up-- but you get the idea).... and a rooster that just HAD to be PUT OUT-- so we let him out-- to free range awhile (with Joshua's hen--who is a little master of getting out)-- and he snapped at me (breaking the skin 2x)-- so now the boys are afraid-- and where does little rooster hang out?  Right beside their swing set-- ughhhhh

Then Stephen woke up still fussing-- and not really sure what to do about any of the "animal issues" so I spent most of the evening in tears--  (my emotions seem a bit out of whack)--- so off to the library for a FREE show on REAL SNAKES (which is our next topic of study)-- should we have gone?  NO....because the boys (Zachary and Joshua have fought and picked at each other like cats and dogs---) but again it was FREE and AIR CONDITIONED-- and I really needed to get away from the house-- and not see the animals-- not see the dirty dishes-- etc....

SO now we are home-- Joshua is in his room being punished (had to be talked to 2x by the librarian for talking) and Stephen is asleep-- and Zachary and I are headed there ASAP...

So incase anyone thinks I only post the ROSEY posts-- my life is real just like everyone elses!!

Tomorrow will be a new day--- THANK GOODNESS!!

I know these days, I will say it again, I KNOW THESE DAYS! No one ever wants to hear the gloom and doom of our homeschooling journey, but I think we should all share ESPECIALLY on these days, so others know we are not the only ones! Thanks for sharing and keep moving forward God said HIS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING, may you get your share of HIS new mercies with the coming of the dawn. Be Blessed!
