We had a rough week last week with a stomach bug. Jedaiah and Jesse got it the worst. They both had it for five days, but Jesse was two days behind Jedaiah. Neither of them are good at throwing up in the bowl or toilet. It was a long seven days, but praise God, I never got it myself. We are so glad to be done with that.
My tiller broke and has been in the shop for over a week now. I got everything in the garden that I wanted to for now. The next big planting is in May. Hopefully I'll have the tiller back by then.
We had a scare last Friday when we lost Jedaiah for a time. I noticed I hadn't seen Jedaiah in a while and started to look for him. We couldn't find him anywhere, inside or out. Oh, it was so scary. He is not one to wonder off, but the boys headed on their bikes down the road. I was praying and crying and I thought to check the van. Sure enough he was in the van. No one know how he got in the van. He can't open or close the doors to the house or the van. Someone was involved.
I made the decision recently to change curriculum for our school. I'm doing it mainly for Josh and Jay, who I think will thrive and enjoy doing school with this new curriculum called "My Father's W0rld". I used to think I didn't have time to do a curriculum that required more of my time, but now I spend so much time grading and reteaching, that I think this will free me up some and I think the kids will learn better. We're starting soon and will ease into it over the summer. We'll start using it full-time in September. That is the plan anyways.
We're heading into a busy social season with Easter, Graduations, Mother's Day, Birthdays, Father's Day and then there is our anniversary trip in May and our vacation to Utah in June. That doesn't leave much time for our projects we have going at home. I haven't done much lately in the basement and my garden fence is about half built. Baseball practice consumes a lot of James' time and the games haven't even started yet. I'm learning to be at peace with things undone. Some things are more important.
