Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a day of blessings. First off, someone from the church called to offer me a ride to/from the hospital. Word had gotten around to the visitation committee. Then, my swamp cooler wasn't functioning. I know that does not sound like a blessing, but Elizabeth's Own HVAC was able to fix it, and without any roof work. Then, I remembered an appointment that I thought was today, but had listed as Thursday. I was able to track down what happened - the doctor moved it to Thursday, but the appointment auto-messages still say Wednesday. No lost work time due to incorrect info. I did waste a lot of time on computer jigsaws, but the essentials were done.
Today at payroll, I will make 2 DPCs on a break. Tonight, in honor of anti-procrastination day, I will do Briggs's paperwork. It looks like one of my brothers will be able to join us at Busch Gardens, so I must make the hotel reservations and tell him where we are staying.
Briggs and Chelsea are doing better. Briggs was the bedroom cat.
LadyMaverick: Life Skills 101 at home school will not cause any boredom at regular school. A kid who can add and subtract can be taught to balance a checkbook and make a budget. There is also cooking, with label reading and nutrition. And the all important basic auto maintenance! Who doesn't need to know how and when to check and add fluids. What about vacation planning skills - budgeting, trading off between desirable activities when there is only a certain amount of $$$. Depending on her skill level, credit card comparison and management, managing any kind of loans - how much will you spend total, large down payment vs keeping an emergency fund, etc. Sewing too.
