We have been so busy lately. A friend needed some help with her college prep biology course so we are all doing college prep biology three afternoons a week. It gives me a headache. Of course Jeremiah understands all of it. I asked him to teach the class instead of me. The kids are all doing great! I am proud of them.

Our summer plans have changed. What we planned to do this summer we will do next summer. Gregg needs surgery on his left shoulder. His rotator cuff is torn off the bone, he has bone spurs and floating bone chips plus the scar tissure is terrible. The doctor doesn't think they can do anything about the scar tissue. I was hoping they could laser it. I impressed the doctor, I read the xrays and the MRI. I want to go into the OR too. The doctor has no problem with it but he hospital does. Darn. It would have been so cool. Gregg will be out of work for four to six months. Yes, months. This will not be fun I am thinking. The doctor will call tomorrow with the date of surgery. The way the doctor acted last week he wants surgery ASAP. Gregg got new tires put on the van Sat, we stocked up on groceries. Gregg showed Jeremiah how to run the weed eater. We have the new to us carpet put in the basement, the lawn is mowed, the flower beds are cleand out. The van is ready to go. Gregg won't be able to sit in the car because the gear shifter in on the floor. The only problem I see is getting the pool ready to go. It is too cool out to run the pump. It is a dirty job I hate to ask for help but I may have to. There is no way I can move the pump, it weighs a ton. Shad? Jim? How many rolls will it take to bribe you?

Jasmine and Jeremiah will start taking some college classes in the fall. This will be their senior year. Our last year to homeschool. I do not know what I will do with myself! At least the kids will still be at home, taking online classes. Jeremiah is too young to go to a campus we think. Hopefully we can keep them home for two or three more years.

Fun picture of Jasmine and Jeremiah!

This is the fruit centerpiece I made.



This is the Easter cake Jasmine and Jeremiah baked and decorated. I have taught them well!

It was very good.

This is what started the menu planing. Gregg's fried chicken. He cooks on Sundays. I enjoy planning the menus. It makes my life much easier! This is the rest of this weeks menus:


Thursday Pasta Night:


Spag with red and white sauce, meatballs, salad and french bread.


Friday:


Greek salad with grilled chicken breast. Bread if I can find the recipe I am looking for.


Saturday night:

CORD





Wow, it has been almost a month since I posted. A lot is going on here. Gregg is working on a lumber cart. He is in the garage most nights. We finished a paper craft area for me in the basement. The kids are keeping busy doing school. I am in the spring cleaning mood. I think the massage/sewing room will be next!


This is one of the tea bag folding cards I have made.
