We really started school yesterday. I started the kids (and myself) with the routine two weeks ago, but then we had a week off because Ben had a vacation from work. I'm not sure if that hiatus help or hurt us as far as our routine goes.
It was hard to get up this morning. Maybe tonight I'll get to bed before 11 and this in turn will help when my alarm starts buzzing at 4.40 tomorrow morning. Is there such a thing as a night owl and morning person all wrapped up in one? I'm it if there is such a thing. I am primarily an a.m. person, but I've been burning the candle from both ends the last few days.
Today was the best school day EVER! God brought something to my mind today. I've been pushing the kids to be done with school before lunch time, but with all the distractions and questions I needed to answer, we were not making the noon time budget. Why noon? Because that was our time frame last year. Weeeeell, our work this year is more complex and there is defiantly more study time needed. It just came to me, we can work after lunch too......DUH! Such a better day today. The kids were, for the most part, in good spirits and I wasn't constantly asking God for patience.
We also decided yesterday to stay in our currant house until February......down with capital gains taxes! It might push our time line out a little but we feel in our hearts this is what God wants for us.

It's so much nicer to wait until after the Christmas holiday to move. I so can't wait for Christmas this year because we missed it last year. I'll have to make up for lost time.
Good to see you for a few minutes today! Sounds like your day went well! : )
Good planning! Love those days when I feel productive :-)
I can't help it. I am feeling happy that you are waiting until February to move. Now we have a few more months of you living so close.:)
