Our First Week



Well, we have completed our first official week of school. It didn't go quite as I had planned.

Monday- the lady that I had scheduled to help me with the little kids was sick and couldn't come. It was fine, but teaching is a little more difficult with a 1 year old and a 3 year old on your lap all day.
Tuesday- Lily woke up at 3am throwing up
Wednesday-I thought we were well so we went on with...Activity day! It was fun, but we were all exhausted after an entire day out! Then Lily started throwing up again that night!
Thursday-Day went pretty well. I mistakenly added a trip to WalMart and a trip to the barber in there. Then by 5pm George was lying on the bathroom floor throwing up too
Friday- John David woke up at 4 am throwing up and he and George have been sick all day.

I have experienced many different emotions this week...
thrilled to have my children home with me
frustrated at times with everyone
tired of vomit
thankful for hot water, front loading over-sized washer/dryers and a husband that can handle a little vomit clean-up
exhausted from little sleep
I learned that our daily life may not be as neat and tidy as I would like, but we got our school work done together.

Life can be hard, but God is good all the time.

Thanks all! I put a picture (only clip art) Then I didn't like it so I took it down, but the little line still shows up. I am not sure why. We were fine a couple more days then Saturday Bo and RandiKate were sick. Man, enough already! I think all is well now (at least I hope) Here goes another week! :-)

Oh yuck! Hopefully it is finally over. I am amazed that you were able to get school done while holding sick babies!!
