We had lightning hit our house the other day. It was the loudest sound I have ever heard! A lot like a sonic boom. If anyone has been to an air show and heard that, you know what I am talking about. My hubby was just waking up when it happened. It was very unnerving to say the least. Well we had the phone guy come out today and all the phones and the answering machine are all fried, but not the computer! That, he says is amazing! Most of the time he sees the computer being fried. (We just had to buy this computer after both of our other computers crashed within 3 months of each other.) Our t.v., radio, the outside lights as well as the hot tub are also not working. The electrician is coming tomorrow to look at that. We will see what he says. It really has been a crazy couple of days.

On a good note, I was talking with our co-op coordinator and I will be teaching home economics to the 5^th-8^th grade girls and history to the 1^st and 2^nd graders. That is what I wanted to teach!!! I don’t have any daughters and my kids are past the fun stage of 1^st and 2^nd grade so I can’t wait!! I am using Home Economics for homeschooler and Keepers of the faith for home economics and Story of the World book 2 for history.

Well Korey is back from camp & he brought an allergic reaction with him :( We are not sure what it is but have an apt. with the doctor this after noon. His face is all swollen and red, his eyes are glassy and watering, he has a cough and his chest is hurting. We are hoping it is nothing that a good ol' shot wont cure.

On a good note, he did get baptized while he was at camp! Yeah!!! Scott got baptized last year but Korey wasn't ready. I could believe when he came home and told me. He just said, "Oh ya mom, I got baptized, hope that was okay?" :) As if I would not be happy :-)

Anyway, Scott has been out at my in-laws for the last two days and they killed a 5 foot long cottonmouth snake! I thought I was going to die when they told me that. He was on the deck and Scott found him. He ran inside and told my mother-in-law. She thought he was joking (he does that sometimes) but when she saw it she yelled for my father-in-law to come out and kill it! He did and showed Scott all about it. They said he must have been sick because he never moved. I am so thankful for that because they are aggressive snakes and it sure could have got Scott if it wasn't sick.

Well, so that's the update on our week. What fun :-)
