Weekly Wrap-Up...the one where we didn't have school

At See Jamie Blog this week

It's Friday already? I'm not sure how that happened! Our week has been very low key. 
Saturday we went to a Volunteer Breakfast held by the Goshen County Public Library for the volunteers of the Used Book Sale. The sale made over $5000~ amazing! We live in a town with under 6000 people and usually the sale makes at the most $3000 so it was a good two weeks! Sunday we went to church, followed by baptisms at a local hotel swimming pool. Two of the kids that have been in this church their whole lives were baptized as well as a gentleman named George who lives at the local nursing home. They come almost every Sunday. He is in a wheelchair and since there is no special equipment at the pool, three men had to lift George out of his chair and place him in the water. The baptisms were heartwarming. But the water was cold! Afterwards there was a supper (lunch) at the hotel that mixed as a going away meal for a family that has been with the church for 20 years. Well, the husband had been, his wife has been friends of the family ever since she was little. We will definitely miss them. There were many tears that afternoon.
Monday for some reason we were all (except dh) sick. The kids woke up in the middle of the night vomiting. They were so sweet that they took care of each other. I didn't hear a thing. *Go ahead, shake your head and say bad mom.* I finally woke up about 6 am to Lee retching in the bathroom upstairs. I felt horrible knowing they were sick all night and I didn't even know. Lee said that after each time in the bathroom they would feel like there was absolutely nothing wrong and didn't want to wake me up. They took care of each other. Some times my kids are each other's arch-nemesis and other times, they are inseparable. We didn't have school on Monday and we missed Co-Op. Fox felt 'ashamed' for not going he said because by 11am or so he felt almost 100% better. Well about then is when I started to feel ill. Fortunately I did not have to visit the bathroom but felt horrible- achy, tired, headache, and just horrid. I ended up sleeping most of the day and all night. Woke up late-ish on Tuesday and felt 100% better. 
Tuesday we had to run to Scottsbluff for grocery shopping and to return some stain to Menards. It was something I had planned to do after Co-Op on Monday. We stopped at Goodwill in hopes I could find them both some pants but no, nothing for them. There especially is a lack of boys clothes. We ended up going to Wally World where still I could only find a pair of pants for Lee. By the way~ She's still my 'little' girl! LOL pants from the girls section still fit her! At 14 she doesn't find it to be funny lol. I made the kids do math when we got home. They are both still having some issues with binomials (Fox) and quadratic equations (Lee). It was later that afternoon that I realized we were going on week 7 since our last break. Since we school year round we take a week off every 6 weeks. Usually it happens to be some sort of vacation so it works nicely :) I just spaced it this time though. So I said- no more school for the rest of the week! *and there was much rejoicing lol*
Wednesday, which feels like yesterday, and Thursday I spent working on getting caught up with my school while the kids read, played, built 'forts' in the living room, went to the library a few times, played some more, as well as Fox watched a segment from the History of Us dvd and Lee worked on her Tablet art. It was very low key indeed. And they helped me make chicken enchiladas :) 
Today, Friday, we only have planned taking our Kawaii kitty to the vet for her rabies shot and a few other vaccinations. She isn't going to like that. The kids have also already built another fort in the living room. It's funny: today I mentioned that it was Friday-yay- but that means that in just a few days the kids would have to do school again. Fox actually said, "Good". Shocker? Pleasant surprise. Lee said that sometimes she gets so bored that she wants to do school. Kids are funny...
Next week should be more 'exciting' although I really enjoyed hearing the random laughter and the fun the kids were having while I was slaving away at typing up my papers for class...lol :)
