• Currently, I'm sitting on the couch and just had Whitman bring me a bottle of coke-that may be a good sign about how this day has been...except that it's been a pretty good day, but I'm exhausted.
• We started on our school at the right time this morning even though I did get out of bed about 10 minutes late. We sleep with a fan, but way early this morning it started squeaking-enough so that I got up once to turn it to another speed, and then Robby had to get up twice and eventually turn it off. 
• I am not really a fan of the fan, but when it was very quiet in our bedroom, it was indeed very quiet in our bedroom, and I really didn't like it. I'm not sure what tonight's plan is.
• School went fine-when Whitman takes all day to get his school done because of all of his breaks, he doesn't seem to mind it. The others give him a hard time about his breaks which he doesn't like. I'm not too crazy about the breaks, but I'm learning to not be too frustrated about it taking all day.
• I took Anderson to the doctor today since his excema has been flaring up. They sent him a prescription that I'll get for him Thursday. Then we went to Academy since Keaton was with us-she had bought some shoes that didn't fit. We went in the store and pretty much had a crazy experience-couldn't find help, find someone great to help, ended up buying more shoes for less online because the employee got us a discount, returned the first shoes, and left with a 45 cent gift card along with our refund. It was odd, but good for Keaton. 
• Then we headed home and tried to beat the rain, but we didn't make it at all. Once home, I started on baking my bread that I had made earlier in the day, along with baking banana bread, and then cooking supper. 
• Before we ate supper, it took everyone to load up Reagan's things-her car is full, the mini van is full, and the big van is mostly full. I'm already dreading move out day. I'm just hoping that tomorrow goes smoothly.
• We had our supper, and then Anderson went to work on his helmet. He has been working on his last Star Wars helmet all day long. It involves a lot of fine details so it takes much time. I think that he feels the time crunch since he just has a few more days here before school.
