It's Tuesday...and still a New Year!

So, with my attempt to try and keep you all better updated as to what we're up to in our lives....here is another blog post, for Tuesday, the 3rd day of the New Year.

-Today we used an idea from our friend Amy, and I've moved our power cords around and have plugged in our fridge and freezer to outlets that are on different "phases" of power, so all of our food won't thaw out and go bad. Of course now we don't have power cords in our rooms for fans...but we'll move them back tonight, or Indy will try to find some others to buy.

-We've been updating our new credit card information with all of our 'auto bill pay' set ups (since it got compromised back in December, and we had to wait a couple of weeks to get the new ones that were mailed to us via FedEx.)

-Indy is out buying wood and nails to put in braces in the kids' closets.  The shelves are sagging quite a bit and I'm not sure they aren't going to come falling down any day now without some kind of support put in.

-We made last minute plans to have another HOPAC family over for dinner.  They are dealing with no water right now, makes our power problems seem less important.

-I printed off some new FREE CurrClick stuff for Sissi to work on, a kit about pronouns...she really has a hard time using he, she, his and her in the proper way.  She's already done several of the pages.  SO glad I have kids that enjoy doing school, even when it's not a school day.

-It's just 11 am here; but, I'm thinking this afternoon, during quiet time, I need to make good on my new commitment to the Journey Girls and get my Bible Reading for the day done (thanks ladies for the accountability), I need to get the bills done for the month, and get all the last minute prep done for school...which starts TOMORROW!

-Praying you all have a great day and that the motivation you need, to get through your 'to do' list, is yours, in abundance!

A cute video of Sissi, Grace, and her sister Lily.  They were playing violins, on sticks, at Muller Lodge.  They didn't always know the words to the songs, and that was what was so funny.  Enjoy!
