Surrendering Sunday

[Lady Maverick]

I have been preparing meal plan and prepping for the week. I have all the mini meals planned and prep'ed but I haven't made decision yet about all the main meals. I am trying to cook one main meal a day and make it fit the family and my requirements. I'm struggling to accomplish this so I might just continue to cook for the family and me separately.

I also planned and prepared homeschool assignments for the next 2 weeks. I have 4 of the subjects done (science, algebra, ELA and Spanish) but needed to take a break before I started the other subjects.

I am always second guessing our decision to homeschool DS14. I have another confirmation that we are doing the right thing after seeing how the stress of camp affected DS14 Tourette tics. He absolutely loved everything about camp and rated it 10 out of 10 (highest score possible). However, being with kids all day has made his tics 10x worse. He currently has two active tics and at camp they started happening almost nonstop. One of the tics is very visible and noticeable with eye rolling and neck jerking. Before camp, these tics would only happen a few times a day and I expect the frequency of the tics to return to this level once DS14 settles back into normal life.

We went to church service tonight. It has my favorite type of music using hymnal books. I love digital files but there is a different feeling when holding a real book in my hands.

Dd called and said her boss has a 4 wheel drive jeep and was going slow and had it in 4 wheel drive and was still sliding around.It was a good call staying home tonight and not going to church meeting.

I had dinner and got the driveway shoveled off. Glad about that.
Still need to do the dishes.*
