This never-ending week

It's Thursday, although I'm ready for Sunday. It's been crazy this week again, which is not what I thought it would be.

Monday started out quiet enough, with Isaac's swim lessons.

Tuesday, swim lessons were cancelled due to cold/sprinkling weather, so I dropped all 3 kids off at mom's for a break. I was originally going to take just the girls and go to the pool in the afternoon with Isaac, but that didn't quite work out and he wanted to stay at mom's. I was spending the afternoon catching up on things at home when mom called and said the sweet corn was ready. Our sweet corn was a complete disaster this year, so mom is letting me have some of theirs, which they get from my dad's boss. Dad always does all the planting, so he gets to have sweet corn, too. So, I went over there in the mid-afternoon to help with corn.

Wednesday, we headed to mom's after Isaac's swim lesson to put up corn. We left by 4 pm to go home and get ready to go to my nephew's birthday party. Turning 18, this is his last party w/family, I'm sure. We stayed longer than planned and it was really late when we got home, but we had a good time w/John's sister and family. It was worth it.

Thursday, today, was Isaac's last day of swim lessons and it was chilly again-July is weird this year for sure, makes you wonder what will happen this winter. Isaac did not pass Level 2 this year, but it didn't seem to bother him too much. I've been working on laundry and trying to save my flowers outside from drought for most of the day today. There's also been crisis on the home front with girls fighting, boy vs. girl fighting, baby falling down and crying, middle girl crying over every little thing, etc, etc, etc.

A different thing that Ellie does now is if she wants me to read or look at a book with her, she purposely puts it in my hand. She's very determined sometimes.

Tomorrow, it's helping John work/wean calves and putting up corn in the afternoon. I'm ready for the weekend!
