Nails

Called around and to get the pig's nails cut was going to cost me $14 and I had to make an appointment at the vet clinic.  So not going to happen.  $3.00 small dog nail clippers and a lot of guts got the job done.

Volcanoes in a box

Almost ready for tomorrows presentation.  This will blow the kids away!  Ha ha.  Waiting for to add the natural food dye in the morning (we don't have the real stuff and decided on this as our presentation on the way home from church) and we are ready for school tomorrow.

This might be why

My Sunday evening.  Making dinner and cleaning up the mess.  Cutting Matt's hair and cleaning up the mess.  Making volcanoes in a box for the girls science presentation tomorrow, and cleaning up the mess. Sweep and mop the floors, clean the kitchen, walk the dog.  Packing Matt for his man's overnight trip to Dallas tomorrow for the football game.  Thank you caffeine for getting me through the day.

It's going to be explosive

For tomorrow's presentation the girls are going to speak about making volcanoes in our ABQ back yard.  Our visual aid will be a volcanoe.  Should be fun.

Another Saturday morning

Busy Saturday around here.
The girls and Matt (Spock will be "helping" as well) will be vacuuming Matt's car, mowing the lawns, edging the front yard with our new hand held grass trimmer, and washing my car.
Then this afternoon is errands and Ruth has a birthday party to attend.
Tonight is our first monthly Bible Study.
Busy, full and fun day.

Homework

I think this is why I am feeling we can get nothing done during the week.  This is our first year of homework and we are all getting used to the extra work it brings our home school days.  On the agenda for me to figure out, lesson planning, how to better schedule our week to get home work done, more breaks for Mary (she is feeling overwhelmed with her hearing and processing specialness) and some me time so I can keep up the feverish pace 4th and 5th grade brings.

Oh what a day today will be

I was awoken at 4:30am this morning to Ruth being sick.

(Spock wants to play with Ruth)

Yesterday was rough (still not sure exactly why) and today is kicking my butt.
I am trying so hard to have a good week like last week, it is just not going to happen.
Home schooling is not for the faint of heart and mothering is not for the weak of stomach.
Hoping we can make it through the day!
