Come play with me! 😉
My brother shared this with me. It’s a neat glimpse at some pretty cool underwater creations. My boys have asked me to play it again and again!

I’m feeling very random today. So, here are some thoughts in no particular order….
- Had a great time visiting my brother and family on Sunday. He just graduated – with honors – from Simpson University. We missed the graduation party due to the Pinewood Derby but they graciously welcomed us anyway! Christy made the same “Beef Stew for 50” that I made for J1’s party – and it was soooo good. I have GOT to figure out a way to make it in smaller batches so I can fix it in my smaller pots at home.
- While at my brother’s we watched the last 3 episodes of Lost Season 3. So now they are all caught up and we can talk about it!! Yeah!!
- My sister started posting again. Of course, she’s going to school too and the new session started so now she’s incredibly busy – so that might be it! But we’ll take what we can get. lol
- Thanks to SlickDeals.net (thanks Trina!!) I’ve found a couple of great deals for getting photos developed online. Now I need to find time to scrapbook.
- Yes, I’m scrapbooking digitally but also physically (can’t think of a better way to describe it! LOL) I have waaaay too much invested to quit! I’m going to try and scrapbook at least once a month. Anyone want to join me?!? There’s room for 2 or 3 more people in my dining room!
- Emailed the caseworker on Friday for more info – no response yet. It’s bumming me out.
- Eric said that J3’s teacher wants a conference. I’m worried.
- I started socks for my mom’s birthday at the end of the month. They are so pretty! They’ll look great with a pair of jeans!
- School went great yesterday!! Thank to any and all who have been praying!!
Yikes! Look at the time! Later y’all!

(ok I feel a bit better)
Here is a question for all you homeschool moms:
How do you handle breaks? Do you find they are something to be enjoyed or avoided?
I *so* enjoyed our break…but if what I’ve been dealing with the past two days is the price I will pay for any further break – then forget it! It does not balance! There’s been yelling, crying, eye-rolling, foot-stomping, patient explainations, impatient demands, threatening, complaining and stony silence. And, just in case someone thinks they’ll be cute – I only did SOME of those things! 😉
I’m joking around – but I’m also serious. I’ve got a figure out a way to make an improvement here.

J1’s surgery on Thursday has made sure that this boy who is always on the go has to stay in one place. Fortunately, he has not been complaining. All he needed was a pen and lots of paper. He’s been creating page after page of comics – about 20 boxes on a page. Now, he’s writing his biography to accompany his comics.
He said to me “When I was in school, I could never think of anything to write.  Now I can’t stop the ideas.”
Wow.
A good reminder to me not to schedule his life so much that his creativity is squelched. I guess sometimes the mind needs a break too.
