Yesterday was Tues

Yesterday was our first Tues with no art and gym. So the day was not to crazy. However, dh had been up most of the night on a work call, and so he was tired. He took R to seminary, stayed there since he had a call to take at that tiime(that would be the time he would come home and shower). Once he got home, he ended up being on more calls till 8:30. He was finally able to get some sleep around 10 and slept till 2:30.

In the meantime, the kids and I started our devotional in the frontroom so dh could do his work. Once we were finished dh was done with his call and announced he was going to sleep. So we were able to do our regular schedule, for the most part. Then that night he was still doing work stuff, so I offered to take the kids to their church meetings on my own. He was fine with that. It was nice and quiet once the kids were in their classes. I was able to listen to S while she "read" her comic book to me. Too cute.

While there, my friend J, who has been somewhat inactive this past winter, was at church. I'm glad she's becoming more active again. She and her ds need this. Anyway, she showed me some jewelery she was making. I ended up buying a few bracelets. Very pretty. I was also able to teach a bit of sign language to the one sister who has been coming to my classes. I decided to teach her a few sentences instead of just words. It was fun.

Once we got home, S was still not ready to sleep. I tried keeping her to the schedule, but as I later found out, she had a bit of a sore throat. So I gave her some med. Around 1:30 she woke up fussing a bit due to her throat. Ended up coming downstairs and giving her something to drink and then rocked her to sleep. Thankfully she went down pretty good and I was able to go back to sleep.

It looks like dd N will be getting her bracelet soon for memorizing the articles of faith. However, it's been requested(and I agree)that it would be nice if she understood their meaning. So in the next few days, we will be talking about them and understanding their meanings.

This morning we're going to take the car and hope for a rainless day. It's our homeschool groups park day, and the forecast is calling for rain off and on. I'm hoping for more off than on. N has been looking forward to this all winter. Of course ds R isn't thrilled since I'm making him come with us. To me it's too long of a ride and too far away for me to let him stay home. Especially since we would be there for over 2 hrs. I'm just not comfortable with that, and especially with his personality. If we were 10 min away, then I would probably be ok, but not 30.
