Counting days...

It's been 15 days since Mom died. I keep expecting her to come barging through the door, dropping her purse into the recliner and asking what's for dinner.

I keep waiting to hear her honk as she drives by then Amanda or I would call her and ask "Just where are you going"? Then she would laugh that cackling laugh!

The sisters and I will be going to her house to go through things. I just keep thinking that if we take care of the place and water the flowers that she will come home soon. Like she's on vacation or something...

Anyway...life goes on.

I have been trying to get school lessons together for school in September. We'll be getting together with some friends for science and history may be a booger this year! From looking at my lesson planner, Amanda will be a busy little 5th grader!

She'll be going through the Bob Jones 5th grade curriculum except for science and history. Those subjects she'll be using Apologia Astronomy and American History from Beautiful Feet. Plus we are adding AOP Elementary Spanish. So begins another year of homeschooling.

August 3rd was my 2nd bloggin' anniversary! I kind of forgot about it. So much has happened in a year. Michael went to GFA and India. Amanda is now a tween. I went through some sort of funk. But there will be many first from now on though. The first Thanksgiving and Christmas without Mom, things like that.

We've been up late every night since 8/8/08. All we have done in the evenings is watch the Olympics! It kind of convicts you to get in shape after watching gymnastics and swimming events...well, not so much really.

Wow, I jumped from death to homeschooling then to the Olympics must be the ADD.
