Quick Notes

• The hip is better. I could walk on it (albeit painfully) by the next day, so just waited to go in to the chiropractor on Friday. Today, the swelling has gone down quite a bit and it's much less painful.


• I listed and priced 53 books today for the homeschool used curriculum sale next week. My mom is the label contact person, so I went over to my parents' house around 5 to pick up labels and ended up staying until after 10. I guess that's what happens when you enjoy being around your family. :)


• SisJ is coming home in a week--hooray!


• My kids are doing well. They have been so sweet and patient with me even though I've been not feeling well lately. They're such sweethearts.


• This week M&M was reading a book about Shakespeare, and she was turning the pages so fast that I thought she was just looking at the pictures. She said she had actually read it, though, so I picked up the book and started flipping through it quizzing her on what she'd read. She told me the age Shakespeare was when he married, described the setup of the Globe theater to me, and told me how great it was that Queen Elizabeth was supportive of drama.


• AJ came down for breakfast the other day and asked me whether viruses reflect light or not. Then she wanted to look up bacteria in the encyclopedia so she could see what they looked like.


• Ebee has a new pre-math workbook. She especially likes matching, identifying patterns, and picking the item in a series that does not belong. Her reasons for why the item doesn't belong are funny sometimes.


• DH finished the worst part of his big project at work. Hooray! He's been so much more relaxed the last few days.
