Well, I'm a "celebrate me" day brat. I've had very few celebrations turn out like I want them.
I used to want a special birthday - like something really exciting - but every year, no matter if my husband tries or not, it doesn't work like I would like it to. And I feel like a spoiled ungrateful brat. But then, sometimes I say, "you know, I try my best to give what I know people want, why shouldn't I want that in return instead of a last minute thought"... so I'm a little torn.
This year however, Mother's Day was nice. I received a nice present and planted a garden, with the kids help. I even got to take a nap! If you have heard me talk about how tired I've been, you'd understand why I was so happy about a nap. All in all, a great day.
Anyway - what's been happening around here...
Well, not too much. Deven started guitar practice again, and we're pricing keyboards because the others would like to learn. I like that everyone wants to learn music.
As far as his learning, we're doing lots of review work for the finals. He has to take a national standardized test, so it's not like I can make something up, give it to him, and say he passed the 8th grade. He REALLY has to pass the 8th grade. He's great with math and language arts, so now we're working on social studies and science. He'll be ready by the end of June. I'm happy about that.
Next week, I'll talk about Deven's auditions and future theatre work. I'll also update you all on the Blumey's - the high school musical theater awards. Dianna will be all dressed up for the awards, so I'll have pictures of her as well.
Until next time...
