Just another day

Just another day in....? Paradise-Maby. Nonetheless, it was busy, I worked and worked. The day started in a blur. Today started with sorting laundry and starting a load of clothes. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are clothing laundry day. Tuesday and Thursday are towels and etc. Then breakfast. Then I dared the impossible - The Grocery Store with three children in tow. I struggle with fitting the grocery store into my schedule. It is just so hard to find a time to go when I can do it solo. The only times that seem to work are late at night or early morning on the weekends. Personally I am too tired in the evenings to go shopping and I can think of other things I would like to do early in the morning on a Saturday. We really needed groceries however. We were out of town on vacation last week and were down to only two flavors of instant oatmeal for breakfast choices. The kids did great at the store!! I Was totally shocked. They had fun weighing our produce and I think we managed to turn it into school. We discussed how we pay for most of our produce by weight, and The Girl's assignment was to tell me the price per unit of said fruit/veggie and what the unit of measurement was. The Girl learned that 'lb' is an odd abbreviation for pound. The best part was the end when The Girl and Boy 1 cheerfully, voluntarily unloaded the cart contents onto the belt. I could make this a regular occurrence however I am sure it was a one time event. After the grocery was lunch and unloading followed by piano lessons. Then onto grinding flour, baking bread, making elaborate dinner for The Engineer. We managed to squeeze history in. The Indus Valley. The kids copied their Awana's memory verses for penmanship. We made some messes and cleaned them up and then we made some more messes and cleaned them up again. Homeschool record keeping in the evening and soon I will be off to bed. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
