(Know WHY it's wonderful? I'm over 1/2 way through our second school week!) ::snort::
Quote of the Day: As we came out of Sam's Zander said, "What's that smell?" and Nolan answered, "Probably dead bugs!" as we crunched our way across the cricket strewn parking lot. I don't remember this many bugs everywhere the past two years.
The day began rough. The older boys went to the base early to work out with Michael. I had no one to watch the little ones. I didn't make it to Curves and it was too late for me to do a video at home by the time I remembered that option. I don't think well in the a.m. I don't even have coffee to perk me up. Liz - would m/m's work, I wonder???? I needed to move it to make it to the airport in time to say goodbye to one of our chaplains who deployed this a.m.
I forgot I went to Sam's club after the airport. Good thing we took this photo. Yeah - I TELL you I blog for family and friends...but really it's so that I can REMEMBER what I've done in a day! 
Stacia loves her cheese.
I had the Turbo Three with me. The other four had worked on school. Jared and Arielle had made an Egyptian garden. I love the little parrot.
I had plans to make a salt dough map today (really I did), but I knew the week was spinning out of control.
I had plans to make a salt dough map today (really I did), but I knew the week was spinning out of control. I decided that today, I needed to follow my own sage wisdom. I did FIRST THINGS FIRST. First on my list were: call in produce co-op order and pay bills. I interrupted paying bills to come post a summary of the day. I'm done with the bills but working on that new budget thing....before I spend the $ left after paying the bills. ::snort::
No, I didn't make it to school...but the little ones have been playing Egypt. They also did their "book work". The older ones got done. I DID have a talk with the two older young men - I reminded them that *I* had said our goal was to organize and get the FIRST week done by the end of THIS week....so.....They are stressing to finish week 2 and I'm thinking the stress is NOT needed. It's a short week....I started the last week of August so we could have a gentle start....but they seem to like thrills....usually I wait until the MONDAY AFTER LABOR DAY!!!! Really, there is no need for all this pressure.
OK - what was I talking about. Oh - yeah - we didn't do couch school today, we didn't make pyramids or a salt dough map....but we DID get the produce order called in and we DID get bills paid....and I DID make dinner....so really I got the main things done.
We are going camping! Yippee and ugh....in other words my first thing first list is going to be impossible tomorrow. ::snort:: Michael and the older boys are bringing "The Caboose" home.

Oh camping sounds like so much fun! I missed that this year. It just never worked out. There's always next year, right?
Your days sound like mine. We don't usually start until the Monday after LD either. But I started this week to ease into it.
Thank God I eased into it! I'm exhausted after just math and science (mainly with schooling Jordan! The other two do what they are told, do it timely and do it well lol).
Here's to that salt dough map :)
We try to ease into it, but I'm going to have to remember next year if we want to ease into things we'll have to start the week BEFORE LD since our co-op starts the Monday after LD it means we have to do a FULL TOG week this week... Our week is extra short because we're going to be gone allday FRI and most of the day on Sat...
Sis:
for sure M&M's count as coffee. I eat 2 candy bars at school to wake me up..... :):) I also eat other good things.... love the candy the best though.
l/p
Ah Mom says M/M's are my vice - no worse than y'alls coffee habit. ::snort::
Hope you have fun camping! I want to do a salt dough map but I worry that the dogs will eat it like they tried to do with our sugar cube igloos. Maybe the will behave they're getting older now and don't seem to eat as much in general.
I say the M and M's count too! Gotta have something :-) I have a small pack of miniature Hershey Chocolate bars up in my cabinet for those emergencies LOL
