Finally a day at home

Well, I got to stay in all day for a change. Still the day was busy as usual. I did school with the kids, dishes, folded laundry, made 3 meals and snacks. Whew! No wonder it's 8 PM and I'm tired.

We did the usual kind of stuff in school: math, reading, spelling, handwriting, grammar, science, history etc.... Tonight we continued reading our book about Anne Frank. The boys sit quietly and intently listen to each chapter. Tomorrow is our last chapter in the book we are reading from.

There never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything that I want/need to get done. It is so hard to keep up with the housework and do school and take care of the kids.

Today I was able to schedule my flu shot, cholesterol test and bone density screening. It's always good when you can make a phone call without the kids interrupting. I also got to talk to my mom for a while.

I tried out a new recipe for dinner tonight. Yummy, Quinao and Black Bean Burgers with a side salad. Hubby and the kids said the recipe is a keeper. Delicious and good for you what could be better.

We're still conserving water here at the house. Saving all the grey water to flush toilets and trying not to waste any water. After recent troubles with our water system/well we're hoping we don't run out of water before the drought ends. The drought is meant to continue through the end of February - so three more months at least.
