Today's goal...have meals prepared for Trav. So far I have reminded him to take out ground meat for me to brown and I printed coupons and made a grocery list. Maddie has her first piano lesson tonight and then we're going on a date tonight, which will include getting groceries. Oh, the joys of being a 7 year old girl who loves to shop!
I loved my Religion in the Humanities and Ethics classes today. The lecture (by the same teacher) happened to cover the same material, a huge advantage to those of us (6?) who are in both classes this semester. There was great discussion and it wasn't all done by me, as has been the case in some classes. I'm a little worried about what catch-up work I'll have to do when I return as I won't have a ton of time to work on it while gone and I won't have internet at all. Yikes! I'm trying to get a leg up on some of it. I do have two flights each way with a lay-over of two hours on the way out and three hours on the way back, so I'm hoping to make a dent then on the readings/notes.
My prayer right now is for courage for myself and ease of conversation with the individuals we will meet. I'm also praying over a friend who is considering joining us. He would be able to be picked up with someone who is driving from Canada, though weather forecasts aren't good.
JB decided to quit orchestra. This makes me really sad. I would like my kids to be able to play as many instruments as possible, knowing that they don't have to make a career with any of them, but rather that they have passion for the music. He wasn't having passion, which saddened me, but was the reason I finally gave in to letting him quit. I wish it wouldn't have even been an option and we could have gotten him through his valley of boredom. It wasn't that he couldn't play, cause he had ability, but he had no desire.
I need to find my suitcase after the grocery run and start packing. Hoping my sleeping bag and pillow don't take up too much room and I can pack some clothes. I found some good finds at Goodwill and Savers last week including two pair of shoes which were expensive when they were new and still have plenty of life left in them, but because I got them cheap, it's no biggie if they get ruined. Speaking of getting ruined, so far the weather forecast is calling for rain in the area of FL we are going to for Sunday night through Tuesday. UGH!!!
Okay, that's it...on to the tasks at hand!
