Books, books and more books

Ds R's Eagle Scout Project has taken off really well. 2 Satudays ago, the scouts were getting ready to pass out bags and hang them on our neighbors front doors. This past Sat, all the Teacher's Quorum had pizza lunch at our place, then, with the help of 2 dad's vans, the boys went out to collect any bags with books in them. I think they brought in 20 or 30 bags and 1 box full of books. Really well. Then yesterday at church he collected a 10 gal container of more books. So he's done very well with books. I then get an email from one of our homeschool moms that she has some books. So on our next park day, we'll collect come more. WOW!!

Well yesterday at church during Sacrament meeting, S started falling asleep. I had to take her out and go for a walk in the hallway to wake her up. Well the rest of themeetings went well. After church we were waiting on dh and his meeting. S wanted my lap and started cuddling. When I realized waht she was doing I felt her forehead and sure enough a bit warm. She ended up falling asleep for a bit. Once we got home she woke up and wanted to watch cartoons, si I put them on. So today I needto inform her primary class that she is sick.

My good friend J is starting to become active again. This past winter took a toll on her car, so she missed chuch a lot. Now that spring is here, her car is allowing her to drive it again. Her ds isn't thrilled, but he will eventually he'll be fine. I think once he realizes that she's coming and that the boys want him there, he'll come around. I certainly hope so, because he's a good kid, but with her being a single mom, there's no priesthood example for him, so he needs church.

I'm hoping this week will be a relaxed one. We could use it after the last 2. However, dh is on call this week, so his time might not be such a good one. He says things at work are such a mess that lots of people are getting fed up. Unfortunately, most need this job, so they have to put up with things. Rather frustrating when you're trying to do your job, but can't. I keep tellng myself, at least he has a job. I read about some families where the father loses his job and they are trying hard not to fall. Makes me grateful for when we have, regardless.
