Time flies when you're up to your eyeballs

I knew I should have updated sooner. So much has happened, and , as usual, I have forgotten most of it. We have been having a blast schooling at home. I must say it is hard to stay on track throughout the day. The other day, all we had time for was Bible (which is totally cool) because we talked so much about the lesson. I just realized last week that I am learning SO MUCH about the Bible that I never knew. Of course, I was pretty uneducated about it compared to alot of people, but something about having it broken down for me in 2nd grade terminology really gets me interested! For instance, did you know that in the VERY FIRST chapter of the bible it says NINE TIMES that each creature would produce "according to it's own kind"? You know, a dog would not give birth to a squirrel and a horse would not give birth to a kangaroo. So of course that means a monkey would not have given birth to a human, right? How's that for an argument against evolution? Must have been pretty important for God to specifically say it 9 times in the very first page of the Bible!!

So the kids are out fishing with PJ this morning. Sophie was crying last night because she thought I might be lonely here at home without them. I assured her that I would be just fine. At that point her and I came to the conclusion that Mom had not been home alone since the middle of May. That's 4 months people. Don't get me wrong--I really do enjoy being with my kids. I even encourage them to go run errands with me on Saturdays when they could very easily stay home with Dad. I know alot of Mom's look for every opportunity to get away from their kids to save their sanity. I know there will be a day when I ask them to run errands with me on Saturday, and they will say "No thanks, Mom." So I try to soak up as much as I can with them. But let me tell you, these past 4 hours of complete quiet has allowed me to get alot of things done. But I am looking forward to their fish stories when they come home. I suppose I could take these last couple of hours to run to the grocery store alone and stock up for the week. But I think I'll wait for my mini-van clan to get home so they can ride along.
