Monday

Ack! It's Monday already! Where does the time go? Our weekend was busy, as usual. It was stifling hot until storms rolled in late Sunday. Church was so hot we all felt like passing out during the prayers! Needless to say, I broke down and turned our air conditioner on.

Today is still warm but much better on the humidity. The windows are open and a nice breeze is blowing. That will make things a bit easier to take out on the ballfield tonight. (only one more week! Yippee!)

Today was our first day back into the schoolwork routine. Lessons went well- I kept things very short and did mostly review. The kids were willing and actually a little excited about starting up again. Yay!

I am still fighting the ghosts of Jeremy's past- the ones in which he feels inadequate, incapable and not smart, due to his experience with ps kindergarten. I posted about it here and here. Today he was doing really well with his reading, which surprised me a little because we haven't worked on it a whole lot lately. I gave him a big hug and told him how smart he was. He smiled a sheepish smile and said, "No, I'm not." with a shrug. I gave him an even bigger hug and told him that he was absolutely, without a doubt a Very Smart Boy. I hope he starts believing it- it's painful to see my child think anything but the best about himself.

Remember the job interview Derick had recently ? The one he went and bought new clothes for? Apparently they were impressed by his sense of fashion because they want to interview him again. We are hoping they are bringing him back to make him an offer. Say some prayers around 10am tomorrow morning!

Have a good night!
