WOW! Have we been busy. There is just no time to sit and post things. But, since I can't sleep, I thought that I would post my Quick Takes Friday. (after I checked and deleted A LOT of e-mail)
7 Quick Takes #3
1. Our school room is almost done. I'm very excited, and so are the kids. It's really starting to look like a homeschool school room. (I'll try to post photos when it's all done) There is just a little left to sort through and my husband needs to get my younger son's desk from my grandmother's (it was my grandfather's, so I'm really glad to get it, and she is really glad I want it :) Then it's just putting up posters, organizing the school books and painting one wall with chalkboard paint!
2. I have maneged to get rid of a lot of things. I feel pretty good about it. And, for a pack rat, that's a great thing. It means I'll let more go. I just gave away a set of twin bed frames to someone who REALLY needed it. They had a mattress on the floor. And just wanted something to get it up off the floor. So, off it went, yesterday. I had been given it for free from a friend, and so I passed it on for free.
3. The same person who came to pick up the beds, is a homeschooler, a member of my support group. I believe we have met once at a meeting, she doesn't make too many. But in meeting her (again) and discussing things with her (what is it about homeschooling moms, we can talk and talk with another adult for ever? :) I see that she is going to be a good friend, and has given me a lot to think about, as far a God is concerned,and the Bible.
4. The rest of the house is moving along. A lot slower than I had wanted to. But I have been working more on the school room, because we all want that done, so we can get back to a nice routine with school and have a nice place to learn together. I just wish I had more energy to get it all done much quicker. But, that's just the way it needs to be right now. And I am trusting God to keep me on the path He's laid out for me.
5. My health, well, not much to say. Not really improving. But not too much worse. I do have plenty of doctor's apt. coming up. And surgery on the 26th. I'm praying pretty hard, that they find an answer and can "fix" it all. So I can have the energy I should have at 35. However, I know, that no matter what, I am in God's hands, and He will take care of me.
6. My youngest started ballet last Saturday. AND just LOVED it! She has been waiting for it for a while. She played soccer last year, and even though she was the oldest on the team, she was the slowest. She's just not a very "sporty" kind of kid. However, ballet, seems to be just the thing. Oh, she had fun with soccer, and didn't care too much that she couldn't keep up as well, she had a great coach, and even got a goal or two. But was more interested in ballet. And since my husband will get a nice overtime check in the next month or two, we decided to just go ahead and get her lessons. The dance studio is exactly what I was looking for. It's an older studio, they do not have competition dace, and the teacher is wonderful with the kids. There are 8 other little girls in the class. It's a good size and it's a 55 min class, for the same price as some want for half an hour. So, it's all good.
7. I think that over all it's been a good week. Even though I hurt my back two weeks ago, and it's still tricky, even though I hit my head again this week (twice!!!) and the last one really hurts. I've got all this health stuff going on. The house's a mess, the laundry is WAY behind. And school is on hold. It's still been a great week. I know God is working in me, and through me. And as long as that is going on, it's a good week.
