Fox:

Me… uh… well I did get my Bible reading caught up for Bible in 90 Days. Parts of Leviticus I had a difficult time focusing on (the offerings and how and what to be offered and why). It seems I’m not getting much else done. I have been trying to stay caught up with the Ministry of Motherhood group but I had a difficult day yesterday being a ‘nice’ mom. The kids just got on my nerves so easily…had to avoid them for the most part lol. It wasn’t them…it was mostly me. I made dog food for the dogs we are watching and made dinner. Washed dishes here also. I made some fudge in a cup/mug for the kids and I hoping that it would help with my nerves but no, it didn’t help. It was yummy though

So today is Wednesday (7/20) and Fox is already done with his school. I think it took maybe 2 1/2 hours. When he’s motivated, he can do it fast. I’m thinking I will take him over to our house (since we are house-sitting) and have him pull weeds now, before it gets too hot! Lee can have the peace and quiet to work on her school… well, that’s the plan anyway.
