this weekend
Saturday morning I went to my first homeschool group meeting. That was so cool - seeing some friends and meeting new ones, without the kids. We planned a few play dates, and all the field trips/science fair/field day/Christmas caroling for the year. We have been doing home school for about a month now and I kind of forgot about this group. This is like the icing on the cake. I can't wait to get started and Kara is so excited about new friends, some she already knows from church. :-) She's already made presents for each one of them. :-)
Saturday afternoon, I can't really remember what we did. We were going to do school, but I decided to skip it. (Remember, we started in early Aug. for a reason.) I was feeling really tired and I think I only made it as far as doing 1 load of laundry. And I think I didn't even finish it! Lol! I checked the weather and a serious front was on its way, but I thought it wouldn't be coming until like 8pm, so at 3:30 we went to Target (did you see my deals on facebook?). Of course, the front came through while we were there - which wouldn't have been an issue if it was just thunderstorms. But, tornadoes were around. Yeah, they used to be my #1 greatest fear, then they were #2, then I prayed and prayed and prayed and I'm not so afraid anymore. However, in the store (I knew it was safer to stay there than try to drive) I felt very out of control. My heart was beating quickly and I felt sick to my stomach. I prayed and had a backup plan of flipping the cart upside down on top of us/Kara to protect us from any falling debris. I did some deep breathing and didn't let Kara go a step away from me. She thought I was nuts. :-) 45 minutes later, the tornado threat was gone, we checked out, and came home. Meanwhile, the east coast was hammered - did you see NYC had several tornadoes? The DC area was rumored to have 2 also - gotta see if those did actually happen.
Around 9, Michael came home safe and sound after a weekend fishing with the guys. He had a blast, but didn't catch too much. I teased him and said maybe he just shouldn't go next time. Lol! He said, no way! It was still fun!! :-)
Church this morning, which was somewhat about my post earlier this week - watch your tonge....and fingers. Then Kara went with Michael to lunch and shopping. I enjoyed a yummy lunch by myself and I swept/vacuumed. Now I'm watching my favorite show and thinking about the starbucks ice cream in the freezer......
I hope you guys had a great weekend!
