This week will be a very unorthodox tackle for me. What I am tackling is actually another meme.
Yeah, I know — that’s weird. But, speaking of weird, it’s the new “Weekly Wrap-Up” from Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers. You see — my blog buddy, Kris, started this new meme. And, I posted positive comments about what a great idea it was, and that I would definitely participate.
And, you know what? I haven’t participated. I meant to the first week, and didn’t. Then, I meant to the second week (she posts it on Friday evenings), and still didn’t. So, darn it, even though it’s now almost TUESDAY, I’m going to wrap up my last week and sign in over there.
Hey — every tackle can’t be totally changing a bedroom, landscaping the yard, or extreme redecorating in the laundry room. Sometimes, it just has to be typing, okay?
So…onto my weekly wrap-up (from last week)…
We finished off celebrating Molly’s fourth birthday with a trip to the doctor for her yearly check up. I promised no shots. And, as promised, she didn’t get any, though she did get the inhaled flu “shot.” The boys were not so happy, because they (and myself) all got actual flu shots while we were there.
I told them that the last time I had the flu (you know — real influenza, not a stomach “flu”) that I was in bed for around five days and felt like I was dying. They were still not excited to be stuck with a needle.
We also found out, as I already mentioned, that Molly has an innocent heart murmur. The doctor will keep an eye (or ear, as it were) on this, particularly given our family’s medical history.
The next day, we got to go on a field trip with Molly’s preschool class on our area’s bus system. The boys got to come along, and we were able to take a bus ride, as well as go to where they work on the buses and go through the bus wash. Everyone thought it was pretty darn neat!
Last week, we were also able to attend our parish’s annual Living Rosary. This is a beautiful gathering where we pray the Rosary outside, with 59 people holding candles as beads in our courtyard. Everyone else stands around the edges and holds smaller candles. I wanted to take pictures this year, and even brought along my camera. But, then I left the memory card at home! Ugh! I suppose I’ll just have to wait for next year!
The boys had their next to last pottery class. They were able to bring home some of the goodies that they have made thus far. I was glad that they have opened up a new set of sessions for homeschoolers later in the fall! WooHoo!
I was able to have some “me time” this weekend. I went to a women’s retreat at our parish. And, although they didn’t turn on the air conditioning for about half of it (which ended up giving me a headache and making me think I would have to leave), they day was good. We had time for prayer on our own outdoors, and lots of time to share with one another.
Oh…and then I was able to even find time to run to the mall right afterwards, and I now own blue jeans with no holes in the knees. Oh the excitement!
