Recently we’ve had some vistors in our school
Well, I’m sure that’s what she was saying. But I did not need this help! :( In case it’s not obvious, she pulled out all the plastic bags out of their boxes.
But who can stay mad at this face?
Look at those eyes!!

5 Adjectives –
Ree @ Confessions of a Pioneer Woman had an interesting post today. And, she asked for us to reply with 5 adjectives to describe ourselves. Mine were – almost without thinking….
- Wife
- Mom
- Teacher
- Grieving
- Believer
What are yours?
Game Day –
Today we were all dragging. J3 still had a sore throat…my allergies are kicking my butt again….and I had some cleaning I wanted to do. I just couldn’t bring myself to do the standard Reading, Writing and Math – ok, it’s more than that…but you get the point, right?
Instead the boys and I played games. Mainly card games…with breaks for me to clean the bathroom, the boys to vacuum (and me to revacuum), and the like.
It was a nice break from normal lessons and we all seemed to enjoy it – hope to do it again soon! In fact, I hope to be teaching J1 how to play Cribbage…I thought we had already done that, but I guess not. Looking forward to that!

I’m feeling very burdened. We awoke to a flat tire. All the tires need to be replaced, but we could only afford to replace two right now. Then the tire guy told Eric that the brakes are paper thin and need to be replaced. Again!
But you know what? We all woke up this morning….safe and semi-healthy. Yes, there was a flat tire but we had the cash to pay for the tires we bought – so no debt. We will have more money in the next 30 days to buy the other two tires and the brakes. We didn’t lose a tire – or the brakes – while on the road thus putting our family in danger.
I can focus on the negatives or I can focus on the positives.
I need to work really hard right now to focus on the positives.
Even if I’m the only one doing it.
