My Journal

 Friday school went really well. Sewing we had a plan and it went well. Orchestra was good and I was able to leave right at lunch to leave to go to the temple. We made it to the temple in record time and home in time for the boy to go get food and go to Brams. Roslyn, Maebryn and I went to Rosa's and then we came home and watch the live action Cinderella together. It was a beautiful and wonderful day.

 We had our group lesson and breakfast today in seminary. I taught on keeping control of technology. I think it went well and then school went well. Afterwards my math lesson canceled so I had a little down time to get dinner put together and then take Calvin to track and Roslyn and Maebryn to gymnastics.  After gymnastics I went to the RS activity where we where painting, it was nice to see the sisters. Tegan was there which was good to see.

 Seminary went well. Monday and Wednesday school is good but we did add another group, so I don't have as much time as I did at one time but it is still a nice relaxing day. Once home everything was wonderful as the kids cleaned and prepared dinner. I had a few lessons but was able to water the plants and work on reading with Maebryn.

 Seminary started back up today but Michael is teaching every day except Thursday when I will teach the whole group. School was wonderful. I think I finally have a good idea where everyone is at so it's where the top students can finish up in almost every class and have time to play. If they are struggling then it's way too hard for everyone. I had just one lesson after school and then took Calvin to track where I finally got the van cleaned out that I've needed to do. Maebryn came with me and fell asleep.

 I do love that Monday's as such a low key day at school. We had a meeting that went late last night and left me a little frazzled, it was nice to have a low key day. I love the students...I am navigating this world we live in as I have now realized that a number of them are using AI to do their homework. But we will figure and work it out. I now know how to tackle it. Orchestra went really well. I had two students that only came one time and I was so worried about their ability to join in after missing so much but they did really well and I think they will do just fine. Which is a huge blessing.

 I have been loving our Sunday mornings as we have gone over all of our old poems. I have been wondering how to review them and this has worked perfectly to do so right before we start Come Follow Me. Church was wonderful. Afterwards we had some people interview us about the Fort Worth temple coming into our area. Our house was very clean and we got dinner all ready right after they came. It was a wonderful day. Joys: Clean house, smooth running day, a number of things but never felt full had plenty of time

The boys left to a service project early in the morning. The girls and I got breakfast ready and pizza dough. The boys got home just in time for us to be finishing up, we did scripture, ate breakfast and then headed out to work in the yard. We weeded, moved mulch, pulled up sunflowers, mowed, planted and before we knew it it was 11 am and kids were showing up at our house for our Primary class party. The kids swam, then watched the friend to friend while eating popcorn and pizza. It was a great little activity. I ran to town talk, watched Little Women with the girls and finished some projects around the house. It was a beautiful Saturday. Our home is clean and yard looking nice all ready for Sunday.
