Well,
school is out and I don’t have to get up to make sure the kids, ooops, I meant
children, get up and ready for school in time to catch the bus. So of course
what do I do? Wake up before 6:00. Such is life. Other than that, it is a
beautiful morning although again I think it’s just a touch warm for the hour
(68°). Could be worse, I know.
Yesterday
was a good Sunday. Church was good. There was a baptism after that the boys
wanted to stay for so even though there was not choir practice, Laura was
willing to stay so the boys could. Amena stayed as well. Paul and I came home
and got lunch ready. Joanna came home early because her eyes were really
bothering her. She’s having a terrible time with her eyes and allergies this
year.
Joanna
also ended up working for someone yesterday afternoon/evening. I guess it’s
someone who has covered for her several times and had asked her several times this
week to take shifts for him. Most of the week she couldn’t but yesterday she
could so she did. Because of it, other people kept asking her to take their
shifts on Sunday’s and she said, “No, I don’t work on Sunday.” It has always
been my experience that if you do something once, people expect you to do it
again. She said it was lousy. Very slow and she didn’t even make $10/hour.
Hmmmmm, I wonder why.
Because
her eyes were bothering her so bad, she wore glasses to work and someone there
said, “You wear glasses?”
To
which someone else said, “No, she doesn’t wear glasses; they’re just on her
face.”
Yeah.
People make the most interesting comments sometimes.
For
lunch we had pork chops and steak grilled. Mine was overdone but otherwise
good. We also had salad (with ice-burg lettuce so I didn’t have much) and
watermelon for dessert. I’ve been really tired as of late on Sunday afternoons
so I took a nap. We were debating going somewhere like we’ve been doing Sunday
afternoons but basically decided by our inaction (which was encouraged by the
heat) to stay home. The boys ended up playing with Daniel’s Legos most of the
afternoon.
I
took a nap which was very nice and Adam, Kim and Ryan came over to visit. That
was also nice. Ryan went out with the boys to jump on the trampoline for a
while and then they were back playing with Legos. Then Ryan was playing games
on Kim’s phone and Joseph was watching/helping much of the time. Seth and
Cedric stayed out with the Legos.
Paul
went out to visit the Fuller’s because he hadn’t been this month and I guess
our home teachers decided through inaction to not come visit us. Laura went to
church to watch the broadcast and said that it was very good. We had family
prayer and read a chapter of 2nd Nephi before Paul, Laura or Joanna
got home and then it was time for bed. It was pretty obviously a full moon day
based on behavior but once the boys were in bed, it really didn’t take long for
them to be out in spite of constant complaints.
I
managed to get enough done on the shrug I’ve been working on during church that
it was time to switch needle size so I did that once I went to bed. Because the
needle I’m using is a circular one with interchangeable tips, it takes two rows
to change both. I change one and knit across and then change the other and purl
across. Now I’m less than ten inches from the end at which point I get to sew
up the sleeve portion and begin the ribbing around the edge. In other words,
the end is in sight.
After
that, I read a chapter of 1st Corinthians and then about 50 pages of
Here Be Dragons. I was just going to
skim through and really focus on just the battle scenes but I just love reading
the whole thing. There are nearly 700 pages and because the type is smaller and
the rows closer together, I do not think I will be finishing it in an
equivalent amount of time compared to Eragon
but my goal is at least 50 pages each day and more than 100 would be nice. I’d
like to get it finished by the end of the week and go to the library Friday
morning.
Up
for today is a whole lot of I don’t know yet. Stay tuned and have a wonderful
day!
