• It’s Thursday, which means that another Wednesday is gone. Wednesdays
  are supposed to be our “light days” of school, which is good, because
  we are never home.  This week, after our hour and a half of piano
  lessons, we fled the house to the orthodontist so Libby could get a
  spring-loaded retainer and Nathan his braces wire fixed. Quick stop at
  the library–books due and fines to pay! After that, we ran to church
  where I threw a bag of sandwiches and carrots in the general direction
  of the children while I whipped off copies of speech evaluation forms
  and dashed into speech class. After speech class, I did double-duty
  with teaching at the co-op, keeping the drummers in line during music
  and painting cardboard scenes for the upcoming Peter Rabbit play
  (Michael stars as Peter.)  Next, we went to pick up pictures at
  Sears and Wal-Mart. While in the Wal-Mart parking lot, there was an
  explosion (from the construction they are doing there) which sent rocks
  flying everywhere, including into the side of our
  “still-think-of-it-as-new” minivan.  I then had to hassle with
  getting business cards and the like. Then, rush, rush, rush into town
  to meet James for dinner as he had an evening exam.  After dinner,
  we stopped at Blockbuster (love that no late fee policy), and then
  finally, we went to pick up Libby from a friend’s house. At this point,
  it was 6:50, and we drove right by church, which meant we could have
  gone to Wednesday service, but we didn’t.  Emails, emails, emails
  from class and others requiring my immediate attention greeted me.
  Eventually go the kids into bed and myself into a hot bathtub.

  I’m glad it is Thursday.
