We are half way through the week! Two weeks from today we will be on the first day of our Thanksgiving break...woo hoo! Andrew and I were discussing last night though, that breaks, much like weekends, aren't what they used to be. It used to be that breaks meant there was nothing much happening...it was TRULY a break. Now that we have a teen in high school though, it simply means there is no school but the other activities carry on. Robert will have dive practice twice (have I mentioned his newest endeavor...diving?) over the Thanksgiving holiday, but it'll work out.
This evening Robert will officially be inducted into FFA (Future Farmer's of America...it's really just an ag-science class) and will also be recognized at the President of the Greenhands (Freshmen FFA members). He has to give a speech, and we are equally excited and nervous for him. Tomorrow evening will be the annual cross country ceremony...always something going on!
Yesterday I was able to spend hours out and about doing some Christmas shopping. In spite of my feelings about shopping generally speaking, I actually enjoyed yesterday. I think it was because I was able to accomplish a great deal and I feel good about it. I really feel like there is a plan for what we are getting everyone and I feel much less overwhelmed.
So, life is plugging right along. I've been doing lots of praying this week as parenting a middle school student feels like it is just about the most wretched thing on earth. I'm grateful though, that we got one through already, and I just continue to pray that I am able to be the parent each of my children needs me to be!
