• I guess because it was dark and deary outside, but I was in no hurry to get out of the bed this morning. I barely heard my alarm clock, and only did get out of bed when I realized one of the kids were already awake. 
• When I did get out of bed, I had about 15 minutes until it was time to start working together. Well, the kids sure wouldn't care if we did that later than usual, but I have a schedule that I kind of like to stick to. I quickly threw on my clothes and woke the kids up for the first time (Anderson was the one who had been up before and was quietly playing on his xbox with his school bag packed and ready.).
• I then did the dishes and speed folded the laundry. Thankfully I had time for both. Plus Bentley needed to potty. Usually I let her do all of her business, but I didn't have time for that today at all. She had to wait-and wait she did until much later in the day.
• Reagan and Anderson headed to school while the rest of us were doing our reading. Everyone knocked quite a few school things out today. Whitman only has 8 things to do tomorrow and Thursday. That is huge-and I have to remind myself that this is why we start school so early-so we can relax a little bit at the end of the year.
• We are in full packing mode around here. Whitman, Keaton and I are all packed and ready to go. That is nice-all the kids (except Whitman) can do it themselves with the help of my packing list so I don't have to worry about them usually. I just have to motivate them to get it done on my timeline and not theirs.
• After I walked on the treadmill, Robby and I did some more shopping. Seriously, when will it end? We are going to be gone for nearly a week so we will need a few things, and hopefully we have bought enough things that we will have leftovers for the next camping trip. 
• Robby had a meeting at church tonight so he was gone for a while. Anderson and I worked on his paper. Then Keaton and I made pizza crescent rolls for our supper. We didn't make quite enough so Campbell made a pan of brownies for the nightly dessert.
