- Campbell and Keaton left first this morning for work. I woke Graham up fairly early too, and Whitman and I did our morning reading together. I really enjoy the book that we are reading together so I wish that we made more time to read on these Thursday mornings.
- Whitman knocked out most of his school work early, but it was still a busy morning. Graham had a test today which was quite difficult for him to take because he had to jump through quite a few hoops to get the computer to work for the test.
- When the girls came home this afternoon, they both headed outside. Keaton walked, Campbell laid on the trampoline, and even Graham ran. Bentley saw everyone outside, and she was not happy at all because she wanted to be out there with everyone else. I relented and did let her hang out on the trampoline with Campbell for a while.
- Keaton and Campbell left again to go back to church and work some more this evening. I left right after they did to meet Robby. We ran some errands and came home with pizza for the boys. The girls are already back home so now it is the best part of the evening-all of the kids are home (well, most of them), and I'm sitting on the couch.

- This was the hardest morning to wake up since we have changed our clocks because it was so dark and dreary outside when it was time to wake up. I could barely see how to get to Marley's kennel to let her out.
- Even though it was hard, I was able to get everyone awake and doing their school at a decent time this morning. We are certainly starting to finish school work around here, but no one's school is really getting any easier since I just keep adding things.
- Campbell and Graham went to work today-they said that it was pretty quiet there, but they were able to find enough things to keep them busy. They came home just in time for Campbell to leave with me.
- I just had the library to go to on the way to church, but it was about to rain so I had to hurry. Then we made it to church. The girls jumped out, but I sat in the car for a bit. However, it did start raining so I scurried to grab my things and run into the church house.
- After church, all of his ended up stopping at ChickFIlA. Keaton drove with us, but when she saw that her friends were there with Campbell and Graham she opted to join them. Whitman and I came home and ate after taking the dogs out.
- Now everyone is already home, and I'm about to try to sit on the couch for a little bit before bed-possibly with some hot chocolate.

- We didn't sleep in this morning, so we started bright and early. It wasn't really bright today either, but at least it wasn't rainy. Everyone did their school work, though no one had started on their work the night before.
- Marley usually takes her morning nap at 9:30, but I have moved it back to 10 lately. She still, however, is waking up at 11:30, but I just let her stay in her kennel until noon or whenever I'm finished working with the kids. Today, Graham finally rescued her because Whitman and I were still working well after noon.
- Whitman, Campbell, Keaton, and I met some friends at the Food Bank today. We helped bag food for school kids to take home on Friday afternoons. Our group, us and a lot of other people, bagged over 1500 bags while we were there.
- We celebrated our hard work with Sonic. We had already ordered when Graham, who must have been tracking us, requested a drink. Since he had Marley duty, he did get a drink too. Graham also made supper tonight-he wants to have a few meals ready to take when he house sits, so tonight we were trying one of his out. I thought it was really good-I would change the pasta that we used, but other than that it was pretty tasty.
- Whitman and I played a game this afternoon. We did the same thing yesterday too, and while we were playing the game I was kind of working a puzzle that is on the table. Yesterday, Marley watched me work the puzzle, and I guess that she thought it was actually food and not just pictures of doughnuts because she jumped onto the table! I'm sure I will not have all of the pieces to this puzzle.
- After supper, everyone went their separate ways, and Robby and I are waiting to watch our show later tonight.

- Keaton and Whitman convinced me to start school an hour later this morning since everyone had already done much of their school work already, plus it was the first day after turning the clocks back. I agreed even though the agreement included us doing our morning together work at noon.
- School time went smoothly even though everyone does have a lot of work to do with me right now. Plus, there was a the storm that came through-Marley was sleeping, but Bentley doesn't like storms so she settled herself in Robby's office for a while and then beside Campbell as we worked together.
- We did our work together during lunch like I said that I would. Usually, Robby showers while we work together and keeps Marley with him. Today thankfully, Campbell was around during some of our reading time to watch Marley, but then the rest of the time she was with us-this caused Keaton to cover up herself with a blanket while Whitman crawled into the kennel leaving me out with the dog.
- Campbell and Graham went to work this afternoon. While they were gone, I even forgot that Keaton was here because I only saw her once. Whitman and I did play a game this afternoon, and I worked some of a puzzle.
- It was around 5 when Robby wrote asking if I wanted to come and shop with him. I ended up riding with the Wilson's to Walmart and then meeting Robby. We did a few orders before meeting back up for supper.
- Now it is almost bedtime, but Robby and I have some computer work to do before bedtime!
March 8, 2026
- This was Time Change Sunday so we were moving a little bit slowly. The "we" I mean is Robby, the boys, and me. Campbell and Keaton had to greet this morning at the doors so they were awake and heading to church before I even had Whitman out of the bed.
- After church we talked for a bit, and then we hurried to Grannymom's house for Sunday lunch. She had a yummy soup along with a delicious lemon cake. Lilly was there because she is home for the weekend, and Les and Shelley even showed up on their way home.
- When we left there, Robby and I ran to the store really quickly while the kids headed home. When we made it home, Marley had already been up for a while, so she took a nap while Robby and I took a nap!
- Before too long it was time for everyone to leave. Keaton left with Robby to go to her lifegroup first. Robby let her drive there and even back home. Whitman left with Graham and Campbell. They dropped him off at his lifegroup before going to their Dgroups at the church house. This left me all alone at the house. I did work on Graham's transcript, but other than that I did nothing at all!
- We all met back up at the Wilson's house (except for Whitman) for Sunday supper. Shannon had hot dogs and ice cream for supper-the supper was good, but the visiting was better. The kids left, and we stayed a bit longer before heading home for the saddest part of the weekend.

- The thunder woke me up around 5 this morning, and it took me a little bit to get back to sleep. Then I was awake again when the next round passed through. I had to leave at 8:45 this morning, and when the lights flashed once, I jumped out of bed to take my shower and dry my hair before the lights went out (they never did go out).
- I needed to be in Arkadelphia at 10:30 this morning, so I figured leaving at 8:45 would give me plenty of time in the rain. I did leave a few minutes later than I planned plus I did stop once to run an errand for Robby, but I took me just about the whole time to get there.
- Today was Mom's Day for Reagan's EEE social club. It was really nice. There were vendors which we really didn't look too much at. Then, there was breakfast-they had all kinds of pastries, plus a coffee bar and yogurt with fruit and granola. It was all very good!
- After we ate, we did some watercolor for our craft. I'm not good at it, but Reagan and her friend at the table were both really good at it. When it was over, it was raining pretty good again, but the drive home was not too rainy.
- Once at home, I had a quick nap. Then Keaton and Campbell left to go and babysit. They were home by 10 which was fairly early for them. Graham and I left soon to go and meet Grannymom and Robby.
- This was Graham's last basketball game-they lost by 5ish. It was a really good game, and Graham played great-I think that he scored around 13. Even though they lost, we still celebrated with David's Burgers afterwards.
- We got home from the game, and I finished my crocheting for the day, wrapped a package to mail, and bought a birthday present for Whitman.
March 6, 2026
- I stayed busy most of the morning long-crocheting! No one stirred around here until 11 so the morning was super quiet. I would do a few things from my list and then would crochet a little bit. I have a blanket I'm trying to make with leftover yarn of mine; however, I'm starting to run out of yarn. My blanket will probably end of being a little smaller than I planned.
- Graham and Campbell went to work this afternoon while Keaton, Whitman, and I left the house too. Since they are taking the ACT in a few weeks. they needed to fill out an extra form because they do not have id cards.
- We met Robby at the bank so we could have a notary notarize those papers. Then Keaton ran into two different stores while I got gas. And since we passed a Sonic, we stopped for a drink and even a pretzel.
- On our way home, we stopped at Nonna's house to see them for a little bit. I think that Nonna was getting around really well today, and I think that they were glad to see us. We visited for a bit, and then headed home because Keaton had two birthday parties to get ready for.
- One of Keaton's friend's had to reschedule a birthday party, and that party ended up on the same night as another party. Keaton opted to just go to both of them. I took her to one, and my plan was to go to Walmart for a bit. However, I was 20 minutes away so by the time I made it, I would have just a few minutes before having to come back. I ended up just sitting in a parking lot and read some of my book.
- Keaton left the first party early so she could make it to the second party. During the second party, I did run home since I was close by. Before I left to pick up Keaton, Campbell left for her party which was for the sister of Keaton's first party tonight.
- Robby brought home some pizza tonight for everyone at home, and now Robby is working on a house project while I'm trying to convince myself that I should get off the couch and pick up the kitchen.
