Last week was a bust. Co-worker was sick so I ended up working 5 days instead of 2 and got only the bare essentials done here. It was frustrating but nothing I could do about it. I am glad that my home is generally OK and that with constant prepping and management I kept mostly on top of things. The weather has turned cooler but we had had pretty days, typical late Autumn. Here is my list for the week.

I will work on ... wrapping up and ending my homeschool newsletter, meet up with DS17's life coach to give her the crocheted cotton market bag I made her, check out Hobby Lobby 30% yarn this week, write up thank you to writing tutor (DS should be done this week), and do the regular things like email, chores, crocheting, coloring, and listen to my library book ... The Minimalist Home by Josh Becker.
