Tuesday

Let's see...what DID we do today?

I worked out. We read a LOT about Israel from some books I found at the library. I paid bills. Josiah was off at 3 p.m. I ran to Wal-mart for essentials: new clothes for Arielle, new jeans for me, a few groceries and dog food. I ran to Sam's Club for milk - it is way cheaper there than anywhere else. Somehow I lost my Sam's Card. They informed me that I have a Sam's Discover that is supposed to be my new card. What do you know? Here in an envelope.....I do NOT remember asking for this card but Josiah informs me that one time we were in there they asked me and I said "OK"....guess I was distracted and trying to get out of the store???? Now what to do....

We had dinner. Contrary to the proposed menu in the sidebar - I bought the kids a "party size" pan of lasagna. Wow - folks must have small parties these days. I know bad mommy!!! Zander doesn't eat and I figured the rest of them could handle fake food once in a while...it did say in BIG LETTERS "no preservatives" on the box. LOL

I talked with a couple of folks about produce co-op. I should begin working on the newsletter, but probably won't.

I FINALLY began work on the boys' "curriculum worksheet" and "summary sheet"...things that NARHS needs. It really isn't a huge problem...but I should get it done in the fall and here it is FEBRUARY! I moved it from the important list to the urgent list. It was 70* or more today but I REFUSED to be lured to the park until I get this done!

Josiah was home tonight, and he won't be home on Movie Night, so we pretended we were the "TAF" (typical American family) or "SAF" (standard American family) and watched "TV". We watched an episode of "Mork and Mindy" and one of "Hogan's Heroes".

What Israel books did you get? Did you like them? What ages were they for? I am in a class about Israel right now and it would be fun to get some books for the kids.

It sounds like you had a good day.

How exciting about the RV! WHOO HOO! I bet you can hardly wait.

Here it already 18 degrees, but the roads are trecherous... solid ice from a freezing rain before it snowed last night.

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Jen and Stephanie - I'll get the books together. Some have been skim and release LOL...a couple are excellent.

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Kelly - sarcasm is indeed a fine art. ::snort:: I can't imagine you are serious about 19 being "warm".

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Mom - his birthday is TOMORROW (8th)....LOL I'll save this and read it to him.

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Be careful on those roads Cindy. I hate ice...

Jodi said...

I don't need any Israel books but I'll take the weather. Up to about 8 here this morning!

WooHoo about th RV.

Debbie said...

Oh my...would I love some warm weather about now! We are up to 19...woohoo...a heat wave today. Maybe I won't need my long underwear to go walking.

Love the RV ticker...bet you can't wait.

Rachel's b-day is on the 8th also...she will be 8. Although...being born in the PI she really is 8 today? Right? I get so confused.

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Debbie - dear little Rachel has two ages - tomorrow her American age can be 8 but her Filipino age is most definitely "running 9". LOL

Debbie said...

De'Etta, I was trying to explain that "running" thing to Brian the other day. I don't think I did a very good job of it!

Apparently, they didn't celebrate birthdays at all, so she doesn't realize either term. She was so very, very excited when she got a b-day card in the mail the other day...her first b-day card ever!
