Well, No word came today from Africa. Please continue to pray. I know God is working on our behalf. We are ready to get them home!
I am on facebook now so ...if you want to be my friend..........
You can look me up with the name melissa carter. Just be sure to put the note, Blog reader so I will know you are my friend. smile. I really do need to do some blogging but just haven't had the time to.
I will admit that I have felt a little stressed these last few days. My kids don't seem to take me serious about school this year. though they are doing pretty good on some fronts, they don't seem to understand what an assignment due date means. ugh!
We had a family meeting which is our custom to do on Monday nights and AGAIN laid out the problems and the easy solutions. So maybe this time it will sink in. (I hope)
I'll get over it and we will move on.
I have been having a little fun finding old friends on facebook. People from College that I have wondered about for years and old childhood friends I grew up with in Africa have finally gotten in touch with them. It is great!
You have to make yourself get off.
I have also been painting and hope to have a new painting finished this week.
Pretty soon I will have some christmas ornaments available that will profit a couple of organizations. So keep your eyes out for the announcements. I have also been revamping my Melissa Carter Creations site so if you get a chance check it out.
I better get to bed because I have to get up very early to take the kids to their co-op classes.
Well, Today We had to get up EARLY!!!!! 6:45 am can me toooo soon!
None of us liked it! We Never get up that Early! But we actually broke a record and were ready on time and left on time with NOBODY being left! (Just ask Nathaniel what happens if you are not ready to leave When I am) Yes, you guessed it. We all wave bye to you as we drive down the road. So this morning was a bustling morning as we rushed to make our lunches and gather our school supplies and drive across to town to take classes with other homeschoolers.
There were Chemistry classes, Geography classes, Math classes, Drama classes, and many more. I actually got to sit around in the "Parent's Lounge" as It is not my month to teach. It was very nice.
Eli's social studies teacher told me that in the middle of class Eli raised his hand and said, "Well, I am ready to be finished with this class now." Thankfully, she thought it was funny. His favorite class was P.E. of course.
The other kids came home, looking like deer with headlights in their eyes. All of a sudden , my teaching doesn't seem so hard!
We have heard nothing from Uganda. So we still wait. I did get a toddler bed and twin bed for Allenni and Isaiah's room as I figured the bunk bed just wasn't going to work.
Of course, I had to recruit my dear, sweet husband to take apart the bunk beds, move them and put them back together and help me move some heavy furniture. It looks so cute! That little bed is just perfect for Isaiah!
The missionary that helped me before in Uganda, returned there today. So I am hoping that we will hear some news soon after they recuperate from jet lag and get settled back in.
Well, I better get going. I think I have a pinched nerve in my neck and the pain is stepping up a notch.
