• I thought that this morning might be a little slow for me since Robby took Campbell and Keaton to work. Yep, we decided that the 12 year old and 14 year old needed to work a day a week. Actually, they were asked to help in Mother's Day Out at church so they volunteered to do that. They are earning a little bit of money for camps on the days that they do this which is a win for us. 
• Since they would be gone most of the day, that meant that they had to have their school work finished today or at least some of it done and finish the rest tomorrow. Motivation is an amazing thing, and both of those girls finished without any problem. Of course, this makes me wonder if they need more work since they finished 5 days of work in 3 days. 
• Actually, today when I was pulling out their school work, I wondered if I was going to need to come up with more for Campbell to do next semester. Her language arts comes in 10 little books for her to finish this year-she starts book 4 next week so she is way ahead of where I was hoping. 
• Graham went to his math class at school today. When he came home, I offered to help him do tomrorrow's math today. It was just 30 problems but each problem had 8 steps so it took forever. Once he knew what he was doing, I was able to wander off and do other things, but gracious me!
• Soon Anderson was having to leave for his class-this was the last time that I will make him go to class. Sometimes I think going to class is a good thing, but really when it is just wasting time there is no reason. 
• Robby brought the girls home, and they had a good day. I think that they both really enjoyed it. I know that they can be hard workers, and I assume that they are because they do keep getting callbacks to help keep preschool kids-they are actually keeping kids on Sunday night as well.
• The afternoon flew by and soon Robby and I were taking Campbell to practice tonight. We ran a few little errands, but mostly we just wandered around Walmart. Then when she did finish practice, we hurried home to eat. I think that we were all starving!
