• Marley slept the longest that she ever has last night-until 8 so that was super nice. I wanted to start my day earlier, but it was nice just staying in the bed as long as I could this morning, 
• We started school, and working together with Keaton and Whitman is really my favorite part of the school day. I only really see Campbell for about 20 minutes during school, and I see Graham a lot less than that.
• The morning flew by-I spent a good deal of time changing my sheets. Last night Campbell set Marley on my bed, and the two of us just stood there and watched as the dog immediately went to the bathroom. She has done this before, but this time she got everything wet-and changing our mattress pad is a hassle since it is like a pillowcase zipped on the mattress. My sheets and all of my bedding is perfectly clean-and there will be no dogs on my bed for the time being.
• Since I haven't been able to walk in the mornings due to Marley, I should really be making walking a priority in the afternoons. However, today, I let Campbell and Keaton convince me to go to Walmart to do some shopping. 
• It was absolutely crazy at the grocery store. It took us longer than it should have, but we all still had fun. Plus I rewarded us all with a drink from the gas station on our way to church. We did the church thing tonight. I was in a classroom which made the night go by really quickly. ,
• Campbell and Graham stopped at ChickFilA to eat on the way home, but the rest of us just ran by to pick up our free sandwiches. Now we are all home, and I'm about to work on some of my crocheting. My goal was to have 22 squares done by the weekend-I'm on 4!
