Dec 3rd recap:

5:30 – my regular get up and get ready time

*exercise, read, QT, co-op emails for tomorrow, shower, breakfast, etc. all before leaving for church

*drop little one off at Grandma’s so he doesn’t have to sit through both church services AND because neither of the girls are with us this a.m.

*Amanda is due back from RL sometime this afternoon and Emily will be dropped off at church by a friend. She stayed the night in town after having 2 parties to attend in town this weekend

*play for both services

*after service Josh goes to a friend’s house and Tim picked him up on his way home from group. I went home right after church to pick up Nathan from grandma’s house since it’s too long to leave him there until after group.

*Emily and I make a quick stop to get groceries. We divide and conquer and get everything in less than about 20 minutes including a few more stocking stuffers.

*we, Nathan and I, take a nap while Emily finishes a few projects for co-op tomorrow.

*supper? what’s that?

*we pack our co-op things and put them on the porch ready for tomorrow

*I listen to all sorts of music lessons – piano, guitar, drum, and more I’m sure.

*finish exercising since I didn’t get the full hour in this a.m.

*rock Nathan and practice counting in Spanish

*return emails and phone calls

*make three page to do list for the first 1/2 of the week while riding the bike

*pay bills

*work on Christmas letter

*make grocery list for tomorrow

*check lesson plans for Tuesday incase we need to pick up anything in town tomorrow

Ok… so, that’s enough for now. I wouldn’t want to overwhelm myself with listing every little thing so early in this new venture.

Do you ride your bike for an hour? I’m sure this is a stationary bike – right? Tell me you haven’t figured out how to READ and ride a bike in the outdoors….If you HAVE….tell me how! LOL

GETTING READY

It’s been a good many years since I’ve had a “helper” while I’m getting ready in the morning, or in this case the afternoon as you can see from the sun shining in above Charlie’s head from this window which faces the west! Charlie had so much fun playing with …

DINNER

This is a fairly typical dinner for me.  A serving of meat which in this case was grilled hamburger.  Sometimes a slice of cheese, but not always.  At least two veggies and sometimes three!  No ketchup.  No bun.  No yummy homemade hamburger relish.  Just a little bit of spicy mustard …
