• This was the last day of school this week. It was a good first week, but today was long. I was still working in the school room at 2 this afternoon-that is just the time that I noticed the clock. It could have even been longer than that. 
• Even though it was a long day, it was a good day. Whitman and I even did a science experiment-well, he did it while I helped unload the groceries. Then we worked on breaking a code that came in the mail. 
• During this week, I have been getting up early every morning and even walking/jogging for a mile on the treadmill. Then in the afternoon I have been able to walk as well, but other than school and walking, I have done nothing at all this week. I will have to figure some things out over the next few weeks.
• Well, honestly, we have 2 more weeks and then a 2 week break, and when we start again the house will be a lot emptier without all of the big kids not here so we will have a lot of new things to figure out. 
• This afternoon Laynie came over so she and Campbell went shopping. Anderson went out to eat with some friends, and Graham went to play volleyball and to Sonic. 
• Robby spend the evening working on the upstairs air-it had stopped working this afternoon. He turned it off and cleaned out a bunch of wasps. Then he spent twice as long working on cleaning their hallway light fixture upstairs. He ended up having to break it so that leaves him with another project. 
• But now, all is well, and we are sitting on the couch about to watch some tv for the evening. Reagan is a on bus heading back to Arkansas and hopefully will arrive home sometime tomorrow morning for the rest of her summer (10 days).
