I'm so excited that by the end of the week we should have our EF funded. Then on to the other stuff. We've decided to homeschool Cas and Ravi, so this year will definately be a challenge for us. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time, but step by step I'm hoping to get a little further off the grid. Except for maybe the internet. I like that too much. We've started doing more gardening this year. Even though we mostly had zucchini and green peppers, the fact that we can successfully grow something, with God's help anyway, has motivated us to try again next year.
Nathan and I are doing a lot better too. We're getting along with eachother more and I may be finally started to put all the past behind me. Two weeks from now my mind may change though.
Cas did great with 4-h and had the support of the community to the tune of $250 for her dairy weather goat. It's stuff like that, that makes me neve want to move.
Ravi's b'day is coming up and I'm trying to decide what to get her. She'll be 9! I can't believe she's already to the age where money would be the best gift so she can buy what she wants.
She'll probably get clothes and a couple toys.
The weather here has been unseasonably wonderful. Not the high 80's of July. At least not what I've felt. It's the type of weather that makes you want to get outside and do something productive that you can be proud of. I wish I could. Our rider mower is broke again, and we've decided we need a new one, but that's not in the budget untill next spring, which means our yard is about 3ft high with grass, but at least our wild flower garden turned out nicely.
Man,
I better get off here and go do something before those wonderful kids of mine wake up.
