It was a long week and an even longer hot weekend spent in Orlando visiting relatives. I think I have decided that the getting the air fixed in the van is now a top priority. I don't think I can torture the children much more than I already have.

I spent Friday evening at dinner with a few of the homeschooling moms from our support group. It was a very nice way to burn almost four hours. It didn't feel like dinner with four strangers. It was nice to have some time with people who have been here and done this, and who's thinking is similar to mine. I think we all agreed that in the we were definitely making this a monthly event.

Saturday was spent on the turnpike and then at a birthday party with well over a dozen children in attendance and in the pool. It was nice for the children. It was hectic for the adults. Though it seemed to run rather smoothly considering the amount of children involved. Sunday morning was spent practicing up on my job skills (which was actually more fun than work) and then we were off to another visit with another part of our family. Most of Sunday was spent watching my children float around in a lake that was knee deep, and trying to keep the baby occupied and shaded. The children are sunburned and miserable now but they had a wonderful time playing with their cousins. Then for the evening we were back on the turnpike...

This morning I am just tired and wishing for a quiet corner where I can relax and regroup my thoughts.
