This and That

Well, I’ve been home from Still Waters for 5 days now. I am finally feeling “rested”. I was sooo tired the first 4 days. I didn’t think I’d ever catch up on my sleep. I felt like a walking zombie. ha ha. But life is still moving on. I miss all my “sisters” at Still Waters. I want to go back. Even if it means no more sleep. It was such a blessing to be there. I’d gladly go back and scrub the toilets if it means I can just be there. God has been so good. I’m still wearing my “chaperon” shirts. hee hee They will probably become a regular part of my every day wear. >grin< In other news....Glorianna has started school this week. My original start date for all of the kids was Aug. 1st. But that was before I knew I'd be at camp. So I pushed it back a week. Glorianna went ahead and started this week, tho, because she is doing the Abeka DVD's and I wanted to make sure she could do them on her own. She is bored. This is a problem. I debated on starting her on 1st grade this year, instead of K5. But I didn't want to regret it later. She already knows her letters and what sounds they make, how to spell and write her name and letters, she can count to 100, she knows all her colors and shapes. Well this week in school she is learning all of that. She will probably have to continue learning all of that for at least another week. This is why she is bored. She already knows this. But she likes doing her papers, so this is good. Each day the videos add a little bit more that she's required to do, so things will get busier for her, I'm sure. If I can just get her past the "boring" stuff, she will starting learning blends and words and writing in cursive. Then I know she'll love it. So this week has consisted of really trying to get her into the dvd's. I may need to hold the boys off for one more week and continue to work with Glorianna some more, until she has it down. ------------- Next Friday will be the start of Trevor and I's 11th year of marriage. I don't know where the time has gone. It's been a wonderful 11 years tho. We've both come so far in our marriage and in our walk with the Lord, that it's truly amazing. We have decided that we probably wont do anything fancy this year. We've taken a 2 week family vacation in June, we were at Still Waters for 5 days, and are just now returning to "normal" life. So we are just going to celebrate in a very low key kind of way. Updates on that after the special day. =) Until next time....
