What's what
Thursday, May 9, 2019 at 12:16PM Sorry. I know I haven't been posting much. April and May are always busy. Here's a bit of what's what around here right now:
- Let's see. Micah has officially finished eighth grade, and I've officially finished homeschooling boys. We wrapped up our school year last week and both Asher & Micah will be at CEC starting in August. I've been selling off homeschooling supplies through our local homeschooling group. (Fortunately, I generally do some purging each year, so I don't have a huge backlog.) I've also, though, been keeping some of the supplies/curricula because I just can't seem to part with them or think I might still need them for reference, lol. It's a process.
- Micah continues to love rock climbing (and is thrilled to be back to it after I imposed a break from it while he was wearing a walking boot due to a sprained foot)...is now scheduled for the steps needed to register for his high school classes this fall (and is looking forward to it!)...and had his follow up down at Children's Hospital at the start of the month. The doctor is sticking with her original diagnosis but is happy with how well we've been managing to abate the symptoms thus far through supplements and dietary changes. For now, we'll just continue to monitor the condition.
- Asher has been busy. He's finishing finals right now (CEC's last day of school is Monday)...continues to train for his second degree black belt testing this summer...volunteered at Habitat for Humanity again with me last weekend (we learned how to install windows!)...has registered for his classes for fall (he's switching to full time at CEC so will have four college classes)...is getting ready for his Costa Rica school trip in June...and landed his first job! It's a paid summer internship at a local manufacturing company and he starts a week after his classes end. Whew.
- Noah has final projects/papers this week and final exams next week. As a procrastination technique, he's also been teaching himself some Japanese, lol. After his finals are done, we'll be loading up his dorm room and moving him back home for the summer. It'll be a bit of an adjustment again to our grocery budget, lol, but we're looking forward to having him around. :) (He'll be back in the same-ish dorm next fall (different building but mostly everything else is the same).)
- Nathan is busy at work. He flew out to Florida earlier this week and has a full company gathering in a week or so (flying in all of their employees around the world to be in one place for the first time ever). When he manages a bit of time, he's been rock climbing with Micah a few times and is his annually unhappy self about allergy season, lol.
- As for me, I've been busy with all of the above...getting people to activities and appointments, going to various appointments and gatherings myself, finishing up the school year, being sore after boot camp, complaining about still needing to wear sweaters and boots (it's currently snowing...again), and all the normal things. :) (On the plus side, since I need to look for one regarding the weather, lol, all the stupid snow and rain means that we haven't yet had to turn on the sprinkler system. So that's something.)
And that's some of what's what around here lately. :) How's your spring going?
