Thank you
An hour ago, I opened the back door to let a little air circulate. In came the warm, sweet, spicy scent of the stock next to the patio... And away drained the rest of the day...
So we had some Latin, math, some language arts, music, a run, and chores. Then we used Christmas movie tickets for Despicable Me 2, which Q found completely awesome, and then all the requisite feeding of the people and intermittent laundry.
Tomorrow brings a drive for E (finishing the driving portion of Driver's Ed), during which K and S will knock out some more school work, then quartet practice for an upcoming wedding, therapies for Q, and we'll finish
writing our goals for the school year.
If you would, I'd appreciate prayers as we embark on the 2013-2014 year. There's still work to be done on the one schedule - it would be helpful if there were suddenly openings for certain classes. And the other schedules, while more straightforward, still require creativity. Plus... (argh) We have a growing list of needs, some pressing, many of which I have no idea how to manage. So. Thank you.
And one more thing: I've been listing off blessings in my head. Because, you know, for all the hard work and occasional oddness, we're blessed. Really and truly. A box full of binders arrived here last week from someone who knew we needed some and had extra. Binders! Out of the blue! A couple of anonymously sent gift certificates are covering what I hope are the last workbooks we'll need for the school year. Sometimes it's hard to think positive thoughts in the middle of, say, the fifth call from SSI regarding Q, in which I learn that paperwork they received from me in April still has not been executed. At those moments, it's especially wonderful to be able to recall the kindness and generosity of friends, family, and sometimes, complete strangers. Y'all rock. Thank you.
Time to breathe deeply and get some sleep.
Thank you.
