MONDAY! For sure!

Today I am quite sure was a Monday! Math took the better part of the morning to complete...I am glad we are a week ahead! Anna decided to play the "what if..." and "why" card most of the day. Which is good...I am glad she is using her thinking skills; however, she could have been finished with her work in an hour and had the rest of the day to "question". Oh well, one of those things we learn as we go. Speaking of Anna...the tooth in front just hanging on by a thread...just about got knocked out today. She and Joey were playing bronco horse...of course Joey was on her...Anna raised up to "buck" and evidently lost her balance and popped the bed frame with her face! You know how she is with blood and of course the mouth bleeds so very bad...she went into panic mode! I finally got her under control; meanwhile, the boys are taking things apart in their room...I am glad I just about have everything apart, so they can't hurt themselves.

FlyLady is going to be in Charlotte this weekend! I am thinking about going. I am sure with about a thousand other people, but, oh well. I would like to meet her. By using the "FlyLady theory", we have slowly but surely started cleaning everything out and up. You just will not recognize the place when you return! My sink is shiny and my load of laundry is complete. I may go to bed with a smile on my face!

Lessons are already laid out. We are going to church in the morning after a couple of classes are completed. I need to go to the library there. The boys are excited because there are books available to them also. Anna will be doing her work. I have got to find out if she is to have first confession and communion this year or next. If you go by our books, we can do it this year, but it is according to what Father says. She is more ready than some of the ones I know will be receiving this August.

My goodness...I think I will look at the calendar once more and off to bed I shall go!

What a day!

I knew it was going to be a day when I had to take all 3 out of church! I popped our oldest son and asked him how many more times we were going to have to do this? He thought hard for a minute and said...4. Popped him again! I looked around and noticed it wasn't just our kids...just about every kid in church got taken out at some point...one threatened to leave hers at church!

Well, this is the start of a new week. We have started using the FlyLady concept. So far it is working great! However, instead of throwing usable things away, I have either Freecycled or placed on ebay. That has given me money to eat out on or take the kids to their Saturday appointment at Michaels. Some of the things needing to be tossed that were still in the packages, I made baskets out of these items and sold at the PO. That has been a hoot! I am thinning stuff out while you are away...you may not recognize the place...either that or volunteer for another tour so I can finish!

I am going to write lesson plans and check my auctions now...Have a wonderful night!
