Saturday our family had an extra special treat, we went to the movies. We love going to the movies, but the price of admission for four people PLUS snacks is outrageous, and we often just wait until the movie comes out on pay-per-view or television. But we splurged Saturday and went to see the Star Trek movie, afterwards went out for dinner and then headed to downtown Fredericksburg for a walk.
Birthday Celebration
On June 2, Gene turned 13!! Where does the time go? He wanted to go to Ryan’s, the all you can eat restaurant for his birthday dinner. He didn’t eat as much as we thought he would, but he did enjoy himself. Happy birthday Gene!
School
We are on Week 30 of our studies, the end is near! Right now I’m trying to get all the assignments entered into Home School Tracker, I’ve already requested the remainder of the books we will need from the library, printed out all the TOG student activity pages, worksheets and evaluations needed. We will be on school break next week and will have only six more weeks left on our school year. Normally, I would be deep into planning and preparing for our upcoming school year, but we will not be home educating the children next year. This decision comes with mixed emotions, but I won’t get into it right now, maybe later.
Leaning on the Lord
Life has been moving way to fast for me for the last several weeks, our Pastor died, my sister-in-law, Marcia had a stroke, she was diagnosed with cancer last year and we also found out that the cancer has spread. I’ve several friends who are also battling cancer and are dealing with the loss of loved ones. I’m thankful that I/we have the Lord to lean on and depend on during these difficult times.
I had a mole removed from my right eye lid last Monday, I nervous – not about having the mole removed, but HOW they were doing to numb the eye lid. Everything that came to mind was painful. The day of the surgery the nurse told me there would be a Texas size bee sting, but after that all would be okay -- then gave me some eye drops. I told her that the drops were not painful at all, feeling proud that I handled the drops like a big girl ONLY to find out that she was not talking about the little old drops, but the shot to numb my eye! My heart sank… It WAS a Texas size bee string, and I had to be told to relax – are you CRAZY, you try to relax with a needle sticking in your eye lid. The pain only lasted for a few seconds then I was able to “relax” and the doctor could get down to business. Did I mention that I don’t do pain well LOL!
