THURSDAY - What day off?

This was supposed to be my "vacation" week with Mike gone - but it's turned into a rather tiring week.

Curves this a.m.

School this a.m.

Went to base to pick up a student's luggage.

Lunch and then ran the boys across town for their volunteer activity.

Ran the younger ones to park day. Yikes! We got there and there were about 4 busses parked outside the gate. I was very pleased when they began to load up. Then it was bare - I wondered if I had the wrong date for our homeschool park day....but there was one lone Mom with 14/12 yo boys still at the park. She's new to town. Still in TLF on base...and a homeschool Mom. They'd been waiting for someone from the group to show up. I was 30 minutes late as I have to go across town with the older boys first. I was sad that there was no one there to welcome this new mom - but I did my best. Tricia and her daughters showed up too and we basically had the park to ourselves. LOL She asked what my boys liked to do and I suggested the one really fun thing to do in this area - paint ball. Her son was THRILLED and I have their phone number to try and make that happen.

Came home for dinner. Josiah was supposed to pick the boys up and I expected them by 5:30. It was 6:15 when they got home. Dinner was ready. Yeah, I KNOW I've not posted a menu this week. We ARE eating at home. It's not pretty...but it's food. ::snort::

Jamin, Jared, and I, picked up Tricia and her oldest daughter and headed out to a Come and See party for World View Academy. This looks excellent. It's expensive, but if God wants the boys to go, He will provide. They earned $ for airplane tickets and a mission trip to AK last summer (which was a good $300 more than this). The camp we are looking at is in the fall - it's 90% homeschoolers. Josiah would like to go but may be in college by that time. I did get a bit lost driving out in the country - but we found it - eventually.

Josiah had the littles all settled down when I got home. Stacia is asleep on my bed. He ran through their lines for the play their drama class is putting on tomorrow.

Home to set up tables and call it a day. I still need to price books and gather things for project night tomorrow. I seriously may take a pillow and blanket, sit under a table with a magazine and tell them to wake me at mid-night to lock up! ::snort::

Sis:

I am glad I am not as busy as you. School all day is enough for me. Once I checked and my average for walking up/down/around is beterrn 2.5-3 miles a day. That is enough for me.

Take it easy and find time to rest.

love/prayers
