Less School, More Family

Good morning! I’m going for the most inconsecutive entries. So far, so good.

Friday—I don’t remember what happened other than children went to school and I didn’t.

Saturday—we did some cleaning of the house.

Sunday—we had some changes in leadership at church. We also had Seth’s birthday party since his birthday was the next day (yesterday). He requested stroganoff, chocolate cake with white frosting, and chocolate ice-cream. That’s what he got. He made a pretty good haul, too. Pictures will be forthcoming but not today because I have to charge my phone first; it died in the process of taking birthday party pictures.

Monday—I went to the hospital because there was an induction and a c-section. I was late because I thought I could get a ride with Joanna because she had school and then she could pick me up after. Well, the Jeep wouldn’t go. So we had to take the green car. So I was going to be late but I ended up being even later. Had I been there at 7:00, I probably could have gone in for the c-section. As it was, I felt very unneeded due to the circumstances. Still, I checked in every half hour and I did as much knitting as I could with the yarn that I had and I did a LOT of reading. I now have less than 50 pages to go and I’ll be done.

This morning Seth was doing some pondering. He was talking about charging his truck (he got a really cool remote control truck from Zak and Joanna for his birthday) and out of the blue he said, “We only have five hours after school.” This is true.  Almost. They get out of school a few minutes before 3:00. Between 3:00 and bedtime, which at our house is 8:00, there are only five hours. Next he said, “We are in school for way too long. We should be in school for four hours so we can spend more time with our families.” I agree.

And with that, I will bid you good day. Have a wonderful one!
