- When I stood up at 12:30 today, I could barely stand myself up straight. I then realized that I don't think that I had actually stood up sine 8:30 this morning when I first sat down. I guess I need to start walking around between working with kids.
- There is really no reason that school is taking me this long this year-well, I did change the little 3's language arts so I guess that is what it is plus I've added an extra math for everyone. So really, I have done this all to myself.
- Robby was at Costco today and offered to pick up the kids something from the snack bar. He offered to pay a dollar for each kid. This was a good experiment in the kids' money management. Anderson bought nothing while Keaton and Whitman both used Robby's dollar to buy 1 cookie for them to split. Campbell and Graham, the working children, bought themselves a cookie and a chicken bake.
- When lunch was over, I took Campbell for a little bit of driving-tomorrow is the driving portion of her test. I think she will do fine...at least I hope she will do fine, but backing up won't be easy at all! So start praying around 9:45 in the morning for her to back up safely.
- When we came home, I took my walk and worked with Whitman. Then I ran with Robby to pick up a supper supplement. I had made potato soup which most people ate, but they also snacked on the chicken that Robby picked up.
- Now, everyone has been in the living room for quite a bit of the Hogs game. Campbell and Keaton have stayed in the longest, and now they are spinning each other in Robby's office chair.

- This didn't really seem like a Monday, especially a Monday after a break. Things went fairly well today which always surprises me. Now, Whitman was even finished a bit earlier. However, this is because he didn't do the math that I laid out for him, he switched it out from math for later this week. I don't mind him doing this except it just leaves the harder math for later in the week.
- Graham really struggled this year because he has a lot of school, and then three days a week he is leaving by one for work. Plus the other two days a week, he is gone over an hour for his class (when he goes). He rarely accomplishes all that I have planned and was still working on school work tonight on the couch.
- Anderson may just turn out to be my chef-or at least my short order cook. His standard lunch meal lately has been eggs with leftover ChickFilA which we have seemed to have a lot of. He fries up his eggs and dices up his chicken and makes a pretty appealing looking hash.
- Campbell would prefer to stay home instead of going to work, but she sure does love getting those checks in the mail. She said that she did a lot of cropping today. When she did get home, she drove Keaton and me to pick up a present that Keaton bought. Then we picked up some nuggets for some folks before we hurried home.
- Then Campbell joined Robby and me to go out and eat. It was a good meal, and the waitress was nice, but everything just took a while. At least the room that we were in was entertaining. When we came home, I settled in my chair to read and write the blog. I've just returned from taking the dog out and am a bit chilly now-should I get myself some hot chocolate...possibly so.

- This morning was church morning-I had called Anderson a few times to wake up, and he seemed awake. However, when he came downstairs this morning to head to the car, he said that was the fastest anyone has ever gotten ready for church-I doubled checked that he had remembered teeth and deodorant. He had so it was all good-and his hair even looked nice.
- We all went to church-I might be missing teaching Sunday school just a tiny bit, but maybe not. I'm not sure-I do enjoy our Sunday school class, but I feel a bit unsettled still on Sunday mornings.
- After church, we had lunch at Grannymom's house for lunch. The college girls were both there- Reagan and Lilly so that filled up the kids table. I'm sure that they enjoyed that though. We also celebrated Dana's birthday a bit early this afternoon.
- When we came home, Robby left to run some errands. While he was gone, I did do a few things at first, but then I just pretty much had a nice long nap. (I really don't think that it was that long, but it sure was nice.)
- None of the kids had afternoon and evening activities so it was a quiet evening around here. Reagan left early this evening to head back to school. She just had two weeks left of school so it won't be long before she is home again.
- The Wilson's came by this evening so we visited for a while. Shannon brought all of her desserts over so we did enjoy some sweets before we start the week tomorrow.
