It's been a busy time the last week. Last weekend we had friends come to visit and spend the weekend as well as The GuitarMan being home and my mom was also visiting! This week the children have been battling allergies and the grumpies that accompany them. Yet we still managed to homeschool and even had a field trip to a local ministry house that gives aid to the needy. they have been learning about communities and family in Social Studies along with the difference between needs and wants, so it was good timing. Lately fierce storms have been periodically moving through so we are appreciating the nice weather. Tomorrow we plan to go to a local attraction where the children can play in the water and sand. They have new bathing suits and water shoes so they are beside themselves with anticipation. Oh, my that made me think, I forgot to purchase sunscreen! I'm going to be leading/teaching the music at our Vacation Bible School this summer. I'm working on learning the new VBS music along with the moves. The children enjoy practicing with me and we almost have 2 songs down pat now. Cornbread loves chiming in. It's so cute to hear his little voice bellowing out "J-E-E-S-U-S!!!" at odd moments in the music or "Lu you mo mo mo" along with one of his favorite tune. Don't you know the Lord loves this sweet child's innocent praise? In other news we acquired a new pet. She's a cute little miniature Dachshund and we got her for free! We were on church visitation and had just told a member who has one how much we'd love to have one, too. Later on at another church member's home we were getting up to leave when I glanced out their back sliding glass door and noticed one that looked exactly like the one at the other member's house scratching on the door to come in. Thinking it belonged to this couple we were visiting, we told them how cute it was and how we wanted one. They said, "Well it's not ours, its the neighbor's and they are giving her away." Ten minutes later we had a new addition and a surprise for the children that outweighed the usual chip or candy they might have received when we were gone LOL
I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...
