- 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.
March 5, 2026
- I heard Marley this morning and picked up my phone. My phone alarm had been going off so I turned it off. I then looked at the time and even scrolled for a minute before I realized what the time really was. My silly alarm had been going off SILENTLY for over an hour!
- That is not the way I wanted to start my morning. Robby said that he thought I was just sleeping in because it was Thursday. It's still a school day so there is no sleeping in. Thankfully, I just had to take the dogs out and then wake up Whitman to get started.
- Whitman had a lot of reading today so he did that while I caught up on what I didn't get done while I was sleeping. We both ended up finishing most things about the same time and worked together.
- Thursdays are quiet here with Campbell and Keaton gone, and I don't see Graham much during the day. It will be really strange around here next year with my Graham gone, and that will make my Thursdays super quiet.
- The afternoon was kind of quiet plus I was able to do a little bit of crocheting which I haven't done much the last few weeks. I made a sheet pan meal tonight (it was just from a bag)-it was a flop! I figured that it would be, but Robby had already eaten, Campbell, Keaton, and Whitman didn't really even want to try it, and it was too spicy for Graham. I did kind of like it (it was pretty hot plus there were a ton of carrots which aren't my favorite.)
- Marley is currently napping so we are enjoying sitting on the couch quietly for a little bit.
March 4, 2026
- When I went to bed last night, around midnight, Campbell and Whitman were in the school room waiting on a 3d print to finish. I think that they went to bed fairly soon after it finished, but Campbell was able to successfully print a snake.
- Then she started an Albert Einstein glasses stand. It finished this morning, and she painted it. It turned out really cute, plus she just got some new glasses in the mail today so she was super pleased.
- Campbell and Graham had work this afternoon, and as soon as they left I pretty much left for my eye doctor appointment. My eyes keep improving-they were once -2.5 and are now a -.75. I guess my eyes are trying to improve enough that I don't have to go to the eye doctor anymore.
- Keaton has been crafting like a mad woman lately, and she needed a different kind of batting so I ran to Hobby Lobby on my way home. Once I made it home, I finished school with Whitman before jumping into the shower to get ready for church.
- We did church tonight, and Campbell was the only one who went to ChickFilA afterwards. Well, the rest of us ran by CFA to pick up our sandwiches on our way home. Once home, we ate, and now Robby and I are on the couch catching up on our tv watching.
March 3, 2026I
- Robby and I both keep thinking that it is further in the week than just Tuesday, but I'm glad that it is just Tuesday. We did the school thing this morning, and Whitman, who usually does things the same every single day, switched it all up again.
- Since the kids did an ACT test yesterday, we started working on reviewing all of that today. It takes a while, so once I lost track of time, and poor Marley was in the kennel for a good while. She didn't mind though because we fed her when we got her out-all she cares about right now is eating and biting.
- This afternoon Campbell, Keaton, and I ran a few errands. We left earlier than planned because Graham was possibly going to play basketball, but he ended up not. Keaton wanted to drive so she drove us to Goodwill.
- We were just going to run in there, but ended up leaving with a dresses for both girls, a shirt for me, and 2 books as well for me. Then we went to Hobby Lobby where Keaton was looking for some crafty items. Campbell also found her a diamond art painting. Next it was to Seven Brew where Campbell bought herself a drink before we ran to Grannymom's house for a little bit.
- Once at home, I finished working with Whitman. Then pretty soon afterwards, Robby and I left to run some errands and go out to eat with the Wilsons. While we were gone, Campbell figured out how to print on Anderson's 3D printer so she plans on staying up late tonight to see if it finishes correctly!
March 2, 2026
- I feel like I packed everything that I could into this day-and I didn't even leave the house. I have done most of my daily list and 24.8 percent of my weekly/monthly list. I would get up and see the exact amount I have completed of my daily list, but I'm tired, and since it doesn't really matter!
- Coming back from a trip is always a bit busy plus for some reason I made this the day that everyone took a practice ACT. Campbell did hers yesterday, and Keaton and Whitman did theirs today. Let's just say the youngest made the best score, but everyone has some work to do which is fine because we all have plenty of time! (Well, Campbell doesn't have that much time, but she will be fine.)
- Marley slept until 8 this morning so we don't have to move into the camper. Hopefully, that trend continues. My goal would be to start walking again in the mornings, but staying in bed a little bit longer is nice too.
- Everyone did their school work today, and because we were trying to squeeze in the ACT too, school did seem to take forever. That was fine though because it is all finished now. Campbell and Graham went to work at the normal time, and Keaton and Whitman even had some downtime this afternoon...though he does have one more school thing, but I'll let it slide.
- This afternoon I cleaned the caper and reloaded all of the clean things back in. I should have restocked it with all of the things I needed to add, like forks-I gave all my extras to Reagan, but I decided to save something for tomorrow.
- Robby is bringing home supper for the kids, and they have been watching him like a hawk. He has been out running some errands. Campbell is not watching Robby because she is out with some friends. Last night she figured up how much she had spent during the month of February, and Robby's total was vastly different. She probably should be home working on finding a 3rd or 4th job, but you only live once.
- Marley and I currently in the living room-I have been leaving Marley alone for longer and longer time periods during the day. Today, I went outside to cut the laropa while she was in the living room. When I came back inside, everything was as it should be. I do know though that will probably not be the case every time that she is unattended.
March 1, 2026-Camping in February?
Once again Marley gets a gold star. She slept until 10 again this morning. Now don't think that I'm slighting Bentley; we know that she is the perfect dog, and trust me, she has been given many, many gold stars.
Pretty much as soon as we climbed out of bed, we went to work packing up the inside and the outside. I was dreading the ride home because Marley was a little stressed on the way down to Degray even with Campbell and Keaton beside her.
I made Whitman wake up and ride with me so he could handle her during the ride home. There really would be no way I could deal with her in the white van because there isn't a seat near me that I could have my hand on her during the ride. However, from the moment I started the car, Marley was perfect. She would try to sit in Whitman's lap some, but mostly she just laid right beside him and was super content. I'm not really sure why the change because on the way there, I regretted not getting her a marijuana gummy or two to snack on.
Robby pulled out of the campground a bit before me, and it took me a while to catch up to him. Eventually though, I did tuck in behind him for the rest of the ride home. Silly Whitman did look up and said, "well, that camper looks like ours."
We went right to unpacking as quickly as we could. I like to take one load into the house, put it away, and then try to do a few other things in the house before going to get the next load. So when the camper was finally emptied, the house was kind of straightened as well.
The kids went to church this morning and then ate Sunday lunch at Pops' house. They made it home about the same time that we had finished with the camper. Now, I still have to clean the camper, but it is emptied and everything that came out is now clean and ready to be put back in again.
This afternoon Robby ran some errands while I kept up with the laundry and tried to mark a few things off of this weeks list. I think that most everyone took a nap here except for Campbell; she did an ACT practice tests and then went to Rock Creek.
The Wilson's came over for supper tonight. They helped us clean out the fridge and ate our camper food. When they left, we quickly cleaned the kitchen and now the wonderful weekend is over!
