19 January

Thursday – another week almost at an end.

I finished another book today. I’m trying to read all the ½ read books around here by the end of January and then continue reading for relaxation the rest of the year. I even wrote a report on it – but I’m not sure I’ll post those. It could get tedious.

I had planned to check our library and see which books they have from unit 3….and then to order the ones I wanted….but I’ve not done either yet. We HAVE had a great week of school and we ARE adjusting to more outside activities.

Today we had a birthday party in our favorite park (labeled The Big Dinosaur Park by Zander). It was fun for the kids to run and play and socialize with new friends. It was a Narnia theme party which gave me lots of ideas for our upcoming Narnia party. {grin}

Josiah went out in search of a job again. He has been faithful to apply. He’s going back for the 3rd time to some of these places. Today he was given an interview at one. He said that he thought the guy would like to hire him but is waiting to see if he will have a position. We are praying for God’s will. He said he’d call Josiah in 2 days and Josiah was to call him if he’d not heard from him in a week. He gave Josiah his card.

In all the hustle and bustle we forgot that today was Backyard Bible Club….

I got a call and my China Hutch is in. I almost hung up on the lady. Accents are so fun. I know that I have a mish-mash of Yankee, Southern, and overseas accent…but sometimes when folks get talking fast down here…..I get lost. I couldn’t figure out what this lady was saying…I knew it has something to do with BARBED WIRE and “hitches”…..turns out she was from the store “Barbed Wire and Roses” and was calling about my “hutch”. I’m not sure if we’re going to have it delivered or if Mike is going to go get it….I’m so surprised it made it here by my birthday….I wasn’t expecting it until mid-late February. This was my Christmas/Birthday gift.

That’s the digest version of the day. Oh GIRLS….we are still reading Little House on the Prairie and they LOOOOVVVEEE it! {Very big grin}.
