It's November!!

Time is going fast, isn't it?

This is how we finished up October:

Here it is in the dark:

October was a real struggle for us in so many ways. Every week in October we had either someone show up unexpectedly, call or in one case we invited them. (All of these on Monday!!) Monday's seem to set the tone of our week, so we were "out of it" the rest of the week each time. Along side all of this, we have all been battling sickness. Colds - coughing, sore throats, runny noses all that icky stuff. I think we're mostly through it now, but it lingered all month long. Not to mention the black widow who took over my laundry area and made me really behind for awhile. It's dead now, but it's still hard to go out there. ugh.

So, as for school, we didn't do all that I had planned this month. That's life. I'm not going to stress on this. We're doing our best and we're really doing ok.

Here's the hard part. I feel like we should just move on - keep going onto 1A9. But, I can't. I have a hard time letting go of what didn't get done. I'm not ready to move forward!!! The struggles in life, ya know. ;o) I know me though - this month and next I have a very hard time getting everything done. My mind gets a little hijacked during the holidays and I'm just trying to keep joy in my heart. I have four weeks left until I'm done with 1A. My plan is to be totally done with it by the end of the year. Should happen, if I stay on track. I actually have some Christmas stuff planned and I like to keep that month very light.

Ok. After talking to my husband, I have decided to just move on. We'll come back later to these things that we missed. Hopefully this will help us get a jump start so that we are able to get though everything before Christmas.

If you feel led, pray for us as we battle through these trials.

We can't do it without God!!
