If you've noticed that I've stopped blogging, I'm sorry. Just not in the mood. Here's what's going on:

• Boomer broke a window while barking at the mailman. We are getting estimates on new windows for the front of the house and the entire house. The window frames are rotting and some of them do not open. They all leak.
• The kids and I surprised Allister for Valentines by purchasing an array of organizational items for the garage and organizing EVERYTHING. It took us 5.5 hrs. The little kids basically did nothing. The older two did a ton. They built the shelves, put up peg boards and screwed all the little things on them, and helped me organize.
• I have had a sinus infection and the first round of antibiotics didn't work. I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor.
• We finished our first year of My Father's World (Year 4). It took us 13 months. (We school year around. I think I took off a little too much last summer.) I haven't ordered the next year, yet. We are working on our other subjects meanwhile. I haven't decided when I will order Year 5.
• Allister's getting ready to start grad school next month. He will probably just take one class. The hospital will reimburse 80% once he passes the class. I hope he finishes college before M starts.
• Iz got his first black eye. M accidentally hit him with a guitar. The guitar cracked. (It was a kid's guitar, but STILL.) 3 days later, he ran into the corner and hit right above the previous injury. (That part of the wall is wood. . .a little harder than a regular corner.) He looks like he really got beat up. He didn't want to go to church and people see it. I taught him to say, "you should have seen the other guy," but nobody understood him.
• Z got a Tae Kwon Do outfit. She looks almost as cute in it as she does in her dance clothes. ;)
• I'm scheduled to sing for our Bible study in April. The leader asked me to do it. I'm feeling weird about it because I don't think I sing that well (meaning not well enough to sing in a mic in front of 200-300 people) and I'm not used to performing. Maybe I should have said no.
