Move It Mondays

Okay, today it's more like Moved it Monday, since it's almost 5 in the afternoon. It's been a busy one for sure! It's the first day of school, or more specifically, the first day of middle school for E and the first day of A's senior year in college, so it's a pretty important day for both of them.

E enjoyed his first day. Schools here have a block schedule; that means on Mondays and Thursdays he goes to 1st, 3rd and 5th periods, on Tuesdays and Thursdays he goes to 2nd, 4th, and 6th periods, and Wednesdays he goes to all 6 classes. Today he had science, language arts and computers, which he picked as his elective. Tomorrow he'll have social studies, intensive reading, and math. He still struggles with reading which is why he needs the intensive course. I'm glad for that.

A only had one class today, Christian Thought. She did call me to say she's most likely going to drop her Hebrew class. It's a heavy load this year since it's her last, and the course is just too difficult. She's decided instead to take a physical education class; either bowling or tennis. I think this is a good choice. Hebrew is a beautiful language but not one to be studied for a couple of semesters just to fill up your requirements. If she can't give it the attention it deserves, then she should leave it for when she can.

Today was also internet set-up day. Our internet service was set up in my son R's name, but now that he's moved out I needed to put it in my name, and they sent out a technician to do the set-up. So I spent the morning vacuuming, cleaning floors, dusting, getting the dishes washed, doing a load of towels...I was exhausted by the time the gentleman got here! Then I made lunch while I watched updates of hurricane Irene. That's a troublesome one. It looks like it's headed this way, though it could veer to the right which would mean it would stay in the ocean. We're keeping an eye on it and praying for safety for ourselves and everyone in its path.

We had a really strong thunderstorm hit at about 1pm and it lasted till after 3:30. The rain had settled some by the time I picked E up from school but everything was flooded. I guess since we didn't get any rain yesterday the clouds were extra full! We've gotten rain pretty much everyday this month. The grass is very happy for it!

Well, time to help E with his homework. Ahh, a momma's work is never done! Move it Mondays is hosted by Kristilea at In The Lord's Path. Have a blessed week.
