My Week: August 21-27

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you enjoy reading about my week. Sunday - the breaking of a brand new week.  It didn't start so well.  I got a text Saturday night from another lady in the church that one of their kids had lice.  In the morning, I checked the girls and found lice on one.  I kept them all home just to be on the safe side.  I washed all five (including mine!) heads of hair with the shampoo just in case.  And then it was a whole lot of laundry - clothes, bedding, pillows.  An all day project for sure. Summer had made this list and put it by my bed for Sunday morning.  She loves doing a salon but it just wasn't going to happen that day. :( I spent part of the afternoon at the laundry mat.  Wow, it has been a long time since I have been to one of those!  It was kind of nice though.  Considering.  LOL!  Why share about lice?  It's not nice and it is embarrassing. ...

My Week: August 18 - 20

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  Today is a short post of the rest of my week.   Thursday was the "beginning" of our week at home.  Back to our school day routine! Aaron came at 7:50am. School at 8:30am. Pick up Max at the kennel at 9am. Dentist appointment at 10am.   Chiropractor visit and wash and vacuum the van. Pick up Belle from the Traynors. Piano lessons at 1pm. Drop off Aaron at 5:30pm. Softball practice for Addie and Autumn at 6pm. Back to work at 8pm. The girls said, "It is like a whole week into one day!"  For sure.  Nothing like coming back to reality.  Ha!! I spent some time also harvesting tomatoes, deep watering and clearing out any dead parts on my plants. Friday, off work at 8am.  A much quieter day!  Lots of time on school - grading, tests and quizzes, correcting homework, reading groups.   Run to Wal-Mart for a few things. Drop off Sierra for a birthday party...
