What a great day!! (so far ;)

by ⋅ 1 Comment

Today has been great!  I got up late….but it didn’t seem to create too much havoc.  I got Dh and J1 & J3 off to school and then J2 and I got busy.  He did about 20 min of the Study Dog program while I got organized.  Then we started flashcard practice, he read to me and did his comprehension workbook.  Then math, handwriting and grammar.  Then we worked on the Scout promise, salute and handshake.

After we finished school I created a menu and a grocery list and we got all our shopping done for the next two weeks (not counting trips to restock the produce – we can never make it two weeks for produce)!

And, now I have time to work for a few hours while he does Legos and plays.  Then dinner and a homeschool support group meeting tonight.

I love days like today!  I feel like I’ve accomplished something and am in control of my environment.  It sure beats all those days when I feel like the world is spinning out of control and I’m hanging on by my fingertips!

Feast One Hundred & Eleven

Appetizer
What was the very last song you listened to?
My youngest was just singing – an Oompa Lompa song I believe.
Soup
What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from?

Sutter Hospital in Davis, CA. When our son died, almost all their contingency plans failed when it came to us…they didn’t even send us a Chaplain. I’ve heard other stories too. I think they are more concerned with getting more patients in their door than actually giving them care. Just my personal opinion. I hold no one person responsible. It’s a administration issue.

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made?

Main Course
Besides a bookmark, what is something you’ve used to keep your place in a book?

I’m bad – I’m a page-corner turner! 🙁

Dessert
Name a food that you like that most people don’t.

Ocra – yummy!! Fried, pickled…however I can get it!
