This last weekend I housesat for a friend while they were on vacation. She is spent time with her mother-in-law and The Wiggles and a gazillion children and I sat in her quiet house. I think I got the better end of the deal. I got a lot of scrapbooking done and have even gotten some studying in. I finished one book and started another. I wanted to get all caught up on my scrapbooking and I am almost there. It is weird to be in a quiet house. Even their cats are quiet.
Friday I signed the kids up for another year of eschool. I must be out of my ever-lovin' mind. This will be the last year for them if I get in to nursing school. If I start nursing school next fall, then they will have to go back to public school because I will be gone all day every day.
I have had my car in the shop again. HOWEVER - it is still stalling out when I stop. This is after the mechanic was 99.99% sure that the expensive part he replaced would fix the problem. Yeah right. I have now put $1100 in it to keep it running and it still isn't. I am not a happy person. I am going to call the mechanics on Monday and yell at them.
The kids went to Vacation Bible School last week and really enjoyed it. We had to ride our bikes up to the church since I didn't have my car, but it wasn't too bad. We were home before it hit 100 degrees every day. They stayed all night with Hayley Wednesday night because I had to take a training class Thursday morning.
After my training, we went to Beaumont and ate in the historic Beaumont Hotel and Restaurant and then went to see the wind towers. They are quite impressive to see.
I am hoping after my relaxing weekend that next week with the kids will be easier. They were pretty good last week. I started a new rule that if they argue with me or each other they have to go outside and pick up sticks. Very effective.
