Thursday

No rain, thunder, hail, or wind today....lots of sun! ::snort::

School is going so GREAT now - we've hit some sort of stride. I think, maybe, because I've not felt like going anywhere the last couple of weeks and so we are staying home and working and playing. LOL

Took Jamin and Jared to their last club day at the local ministry to children where they volunteer. THEN the younger 4 and I ran all over town trying to find table skirts, table clothes, confetti, display boards etc so that we can work on Josiah's graduation table this weekend.

We also stopped by the library so that I could pick up book 4 in The Yada Yada series. I am LOVING this series, but it is sooooo making me miss my group of ladies in AK - where we HAD intimacy...ah well. Seasons and all.

The week has been slower than usual as I don't have produce co-op tomorrow. I'm glad. ::snort::

We picked Josiah up at work, picked the boys up at HoF, met Mike at the ole' standby - Burger King-, scarfed down kids' meals, dropped Jared off at Civil Air Patrol and headed home with 6 of the children. Mike will work late tonight and bring Jared home with him at 9:30......

Hitting your stride is good, I like it when that happens. So exciting that you will have another graduate soon.

I just read the latest Yada Yada book! I love this series. I am so Jodi! I don't want to be. I want to be Aves?? Really, though, I like how real that series is. You don't have to be "perfect" for the Lord to use you.

Happy decorating and fixing up the graduation stuff. We're working on the display boards here, posters, slide shows, programs, napkins, etc.. you name it and we have it ALL over our living room! I'm off to make my big long grocery list for the party of 200 so I can pick it all up tomorrow when I'm in town.

And you think that MY life is busy?! I'm reading your post of today and getting tired ;-) Glad you're in a schoolwork groove. Just made out my calendar for school into july so we can take off in Aug/Sept when "Elvis" is born ;-) Praying for the nitty gritty details of your weekend.

De'Etta - I know you are feeling under the weather (is that putting it mildly?) these days but I had a question. Do you have time to share what a typical school day looks like for you? You mentioned hitting your stride which I read as you are actually doing school and accomplishing things (always a good thing). I'd love to know what time you all get up and which subjects you do first and what this child is doing while that child does the other thing. If you have time, that would be a lovely blog. :)

Kathy - I have it in the SHS shared files in a chart form....that's what we're doing....but if I can figure out how to link to a chart like you did with your point chart - I will.

Jared:

Goodness, we both remember the days when we were young and involved in Civil Air Patrol. In Hardin there was a tower by the old swimming pool just a few doors down from where you use to live. We who joined we taught how to watch the skies and use the charts and etc. It was fun and yet it was a bit stressful when you were on duty etc. The good ole' days.

G'Pa also did much the same thing only he was in Clarkston, Washington and/or Lewiston, Idaho.


What do you do in your meetings etc.?
