Sunday, August 24, 2008 - School plans & rearanging...

I'm in the process of rearanging the house right now, again. I should have done this several weeks ago, but just couldn't decide what I wanted to do with everything. I spent one whole day searching the net for houseplans, being very discontent... Naughty me. I got over it the next day and started making plans and measuring walls and furniture to see where everything might fit.

I wen't to OKC last week to get my new sewing machine, have the surger serviced, and to do some fabric shopping. Hancocks was having quite a sale. I have plenty to keep me busy for quite a while. I'm really enjoying the regency dresses I've made so far.

I don't know how working mothers do it. Five year old son has speach Tues and Thurs 2-3 pm 30 minutes away. He's so looking forward to it. I'm going to take the 8 year old boy along on Tuesdays and see about putting them both in Karate. The boys just really NEED an outlet for their energy. We started school last week. Oldest daughter is going to try to finish 2 years in one and wants to graduate in May. I think she may be pushing it a bit, but I'm sure she'll be done by Dec'09. She's really working hard. daughter #2 has got a pretty full load this year too. She's got English and History to catch up on now that she has the glasses and is reading so much better. She's a tad overwhelmed, but I think she's going to catch up in no time. Eight year old son has got the piddles really bad. He's so smart, but he gets to day dreaming and paying more attention to what everyone else is doing. Almost 7yo daughter would just rather be outside with the critters, so I can't help her fast enough for her to get done. Baby girl of course is wanting to do school too, so she's always in the middle of everything and everyone, trying to help (hep,peez). She LOVES Pooh. We found a cookoo clock in Papa's stuff. "Pooh, Coo!" It's a sick bird, but baby just thinks it's the neatest thing in the world right now. Thursday afternoons, I'm going to take everyone with us and we're gona see the Chiropractor more regularly. Anyway, we are working really hard to have school done in the AM, so the afternoons are free. I'd like to get the girls into gymnastics, but we'll have to wait and see. I think we're going to be co-oping with a neighbor family this year too. Their girls are so smart and creative, and the children always have fun when they visit.
