The end of a long road
While we all enjoyed our fall break week last week, the down side is that the first day back to a regular schedule can be sketchy. In the great scheme of things, the morning actually went pretty well. Everyone did math, with a limited amount of kvetching, but everyone also acknowledged that it was difficult to start back again. As a bone, I said we would put off doing grammar until Wednesday. (Tomorrow is our co-op day.) There was much rejoicing.
So we're back to our regular school schedule which we'll keep up until Thanksgiving week. Everyone (including myself) is feeling refreshed from the break, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make it to Thanksgiving. It's not actually that far, really.
[Insert deep breathing over the things which will need to be done when it does arrive. There, I'm better.]
But really, only part of my brain has been on school and children and house stuff. The other part of my brain has been on my mother. Tomorrow morning, she will be heading into surgery to finally get the perforated bowel repaired. It has been an excruciatingly long six week for her. If you would keep her in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it. We are hoping that the repair can be done as simply as possible and that it can be done without a temporary bag. We are also hoping that after a hospital stay to recover from surgery that she will be in good enough shape to finally be able to go home. Oh, how she wants to go home! Thank you for keeping her in your prayers!
