Perfect title for the “D” week. . .
Today is just one of those days. . .you know the type, dreary and cold and you just want to lay in bed and read.
We had friends over this afternoon. All the kids were getting rowdy and I was seeing myself popping a whole heck of a lot of Tylenol if I didn’t get the noise level controlled fairly quickly.
So, I asked them if they wanted to “do school”.
Mikhail was all over it! (He loves school.) Garrett looked at me slackjawed like how dare I suggest such a thing to guests. Our friends eyed me rather suspiciously. . .(They are homeschooled too, and maybe that’s why they were willing to give it a chance — or maybe they still just don’t know me well enough?)
Then, I explained that we could make dream catchers, and proceeded out the door. I had 4 bodies tear past me on the stairs and beat me to the table!
I think, all-in-all, they had a good time. I believe they got a bit frustrated at me as I wasn’t moving fast enough, but Hey! I’m only one person. Plus, this was a spur of the moment thing, so I was truly not prepared
*SNORT* — like I EVER am!!!
Jay took this week off. I think the “pretense” is to spend more time with his family, (ie, that’s what everyone at work thinks and he’s not denying it). However, he’s been working his tail off trying to finish off the windows he installed this spring. The molding around them that is. That man does beautiful work! I tell you, if I could somehow figure out how to keep him home and still get paid, our home would be awesome!
Well, my computer doesn’t like working in this weather either, and I keep getting connection “failure” warnings, so I’m going to attempt to post this and then start dinner.
