Yesterday went well.  After the early morning walk around the lake, breakfast  (kefir smoothies) and devotions we headed downstairs to attack the scheduled school work.  I feel frustrated by how much whispering and talking I deal with each day and have been trying to crack down on that. 

I spent a good deal of time making copies and prepping school work for the upcoming months while the children did their book work. 

For lunch I made homemade pizza.  I put garlic in the crust.  It was so yummy! 

After lunch and some housework, I quickly threw some chicken and spanish rice casserole into the oven and dashed off to take Kaitlyn to her behind-the-wheel driving instruction. While I waited for her I picked up this week's raw milk, found a few bargains at Goodwill, and read a few chapters of my current book that I am reading, Sixth Covenant by Brock and Bodie Thoene, which is from the A.D. Chronicles Series.

At home, I was too tired to crochet.  I checked my email and went to bed.  All night my head was pounding and before I even opened my eyes I today I knew I had a bad headache!

This morning, breakfast was cold cereal (same as every Tues. b/c it is the only weekday morning that I can sleep in until 7...  so I schedule something easy for the children to do unattended!) We did our devotions and we've done a bit of our bookwork, but it's been slow going today.

Hannah lost her reader...  so she can't finish her assigned work.  I lost a math test packet, so I called to order a new one this morning. One of the ladies who orders Azure with the co-op that delivers to my house called with a small scheduling question this morning and I forgot to put the dryer on so I am about an hour behind on laundry today.

All in all not too bad of a start to our day, but I always feel like so much more is POSSIBLE.  Ever feel like that?

There is nowhere I need to be this evening.  That's a relief.  I do need to run to the post office this afternoon, but that will only take a total of 30 minutes or so.  Maybe I will let Kaitlyn drive with me if my head stops hurting.

I always feel exhausted after reading your "what we got accomplished today" posts. Can you just move in with me and help me get my head INTO my duties, please? What a blessed man you must be married to, to have a wife so devotedly busy with good work.

Huuugs,
Christi

My name is Christina. I am 40 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 19 years! (It will be 20 in March 2010!) My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (17), Jordan (15 ), Ian (13.5), and Noah (11)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (9) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 13th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
