Good morning ladies!!!!! Back to work, on a very tired Wednesday. The only problem with fireworks is that they are set off so late and I am dragging this morning because of it. Oh well. Morning routine is done. After lunch I need to do a load of dish towels. After work, I need to do the dusting and after dinner I will change over the table linens. Tonight is Bible study.

Good morning!
DS1 & DS2 are working all day. I was up and saw each before they left, DS2 only for a few minutes, but DS1 decided to make a week's worth of lunches this morning, so he was up an hour early and chatted with me while he was working.
I have a nice handfull of lessons today. Not too many: some extra free time but enough to feel like I'm not taking the day "off."
The bathrooms need to be cleaned. I will assign DS3 to work on theirs, but I'll need to get in there and check behind him. Also, even though I went over them on Monday, one room appears to have spots on the floor. Maybe someone spilled something and didn't realize.
Church tonight.

I am dragging for more than one reason; the fireworks stopped around midnight then the storms rolled in, thunder crashing all night and still at it. I wanna go back to bed! But the bed is made, quiet time done. The plan for the day is to get some serious cleaning done in the bedroom, and do something about all the clutter in there. Exercise, and whatever else.

Sandra, how does d3 feel being the only child at home most of the day? I’ve chatted on the phone with friends this morning and make some pickles. First, though, I had to run to the store for a few things to pickle with. I’ll make more this afternoon. I need to clean the bedroom and wash dishes. This evening I need to feed animals. Dh has to go to sleep by 6pm because he has to be up by midnight to go to work.

Sandra, how does d3 feel being the only child at home most of the day? It's a big adjustment. And how he adjusted (or didn't) is a big part of why he's going to be at camp so much this month. At first, he only wanted to attend the shorter camp option (4 days). But as DH and I watched him with his brothers gone, we decided he was going to the longer option also (10 days). DS3 was basically just sitting around, either in front of the computer (watching youtube) or playing a video game... one video game... on the TV. Before the school year ended, he had said he wanted to take time off of school work this summer. That was reasonable and I agreed, but I didn't expect him to kind of do... nothing. Since we told him he's going to both camps (which he will enjoy), he has gotten better. He'll pick up a guitar for a few minutes daily, and I found that cooking class (yes, I found it, not him), but that's only weekly. He's a funny kid. if you ask him if he wants to do something, he often says no. BUT, what he means is that he doesn't WANT to do it, but he doesn't NOT want to do it, either. If you just ask him to DO the same thing ("Come on, we're going to play basketball") he's the first one up out of his chair. The camp sessions will be great for him. The staff is great at being sensitive and keeping all the kids busy. The first (long) camp is just camp: swimming, games, worship, etc. The shorter one is folk arts centered. He's taking his guitar and will work with the same teacher he worked with there in the spring. I suspect he feels a bit weird about going, but I think he'll enjoy himself a lot. He was the first kid of ours who ever asked to go to camp, and like a month after he asked, COVID hit.
