This that and the other

I have so much that needs to be done. The house is a mess. I haven't done the spouses group newsletter, and I have several writing assignments for my English course. But today is another day of "I can't be bothered". You see my husband is away and when he is away it's like a giant vacation from life. The house isn't as much of a priority and the food is always more simple. And well..I have gotten lazy! Today I am going antiquing with Rene and Mandy so very little will get done. And this weekend is one of those busy weekends that lends itself to nothing getting done. Tonight Chris is boarding at school (Chris and Chelsea are both day students at a British Boarding school) so he can go to a pizza and quiz night. Tomorrow night Chelsea has a black and white ball so she won't be home til very late. And I have a social at a neighbors. So needless to say nothing or next to nothing is going to be accomplished this weekend. So anyways my point is..I AM BEHIND ON LIFE AND NEED TO GET IN ORDER!!!!

On the other side I have accomplished a few things. Yesterday I went to our tiny base library and have started arrangements to set up a monthly library lock in for homeschoolers starting in January. The librarian is helping me find out who the homeschoolers are and I am going to design our first lesson. I also spoke to our base counselor and will be working with her to set up a loss support group to help with all the recent losses our base has encountered.

At the boot fair on Wednesday I found four fantastic books for our school. For History I found "Children's Encyclopedia of British History" which is an usborne type book. and "100 Great Stories from British History" and then for Science I found "The Amazing World of Living Things" and "Philip's Nature Encyclopedia" . All four are large hardback books in excellent condition! And at a pound a piece I spent less than $6 dollars on the lot!

Well I suppose maybe I should at least dust and run the vacuum, maybe sweep the kitchen before I am off to look through the market, charity shops and antique fair.
