Default Whatcha doin' today?

I'm working my mom's store, building a new church website, and planning a writers' workshop for August. And I'm very hungry.

You?

Just finished the kids' reading/writing/math for the day. Now we're all eating various leftovers for lunch, and then they'll empty the dishwasher before having some time outside while I work.

I'm just about to head to my first blood test and scan appointment for this ivf cycle. (I'd appreciate prayers that everything is tracking along nicely, exactly how it should be - my body is notorious for not behaving)

Took our sick kitty to the vet for a weight check earlier. Once home just working on regular stuff and also trying to move some furniture around to make space for a new dresser/changing table.

I also took a short nap during which my child ate a lot of candy So trying to keep her from spinning entirely out as she comes down from the sugar high.

Not a die hard anything. We've always been open to whatever we feel is best for the kids at the time. They did much of their education in a tiny multi age classroom private school, and are currently in public school. But we are always open to making changes as needed. Hs'ing has always been a serious contender for us.

meeting with a young man we've known since he was about 7. He's planning to be on full time mission with Cru and is looking for support. Then he'll hang out with my kids this afternoon and run them ragged. Well, sort of. they are a lot older than when he did that for me when they were little.

Also, soccer, kung fu, and a date w/my Wee.
