I feel like we have been cooped in! It seems Emily has had an illness for the past couple of weeks. We have missed Awana 3 weeks in a row. We missed Bible Study on Tuesday and then Play Day yesterday. Emily has had an ear infection and some strange rash all over her body. The Dr said it was a viral infection and would clear up in two days. She is a good Doctor because it happened just as she said. Yesterday we got ice and a little snow. I was NOT going to get out in that mess. We have saved a lot of money of gas this week. That has been really nice. Tonight I am getting out and I can't wait!!!!! We are having our Christmas Sunday School party. Steve's parents are coming some time this afternoon. God willing, next week we will have good health and good weather so we can get back into the swing of things.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go
