This has been another busy week here at my home (aren't they all?).  My grandchildren were here visiting me nearly every day, and I had the joy of taking care of one of my former daycare children for a few hours yesterday, while also taking care of my granddaughter while her Daddy (my son) was in school.  She finished up HeadStart for this term, and will return in September.  My son and I agreed that over the summer months I will do a bit of homeschooling with them, as they will be with me the days he is attending our college.  I'm surely looking forward to it, and so are the children!   

I finished my online registration today for the Summer Quarter at my school.  As soon as my Academic Advisor approves it I'll be all signed up and ready to go!  We still have another 3 weeks left of our Spring Term, and the pressure is on!  Due to all of the bomb threats (which led to missed days that have to be made up) we had, they have made some moderations for our Final Exams this term.  We will have to take them all in one day, and they are allowing our teachers a bit of leeway in administering them.  For this I am thankful.  It is my understanding our Accounting Final will be a take-home test, and this really pleases me.  My calculator died during the last test in there (I still made an A on it, though!), and rather than buy another one right now, I'll be able to use my electric calculator at home.  Hallelujah!  It's a nice large one (10-key type), and much easier for me to use than a little pocket calculator like we use for the classroom. 

I'm not too worried about the Final for my Word Processing II class, as it will be done on the computer right there.  Simple enough.  However, it's my understanding that in English Composition I class, we have to write a paper right there in the classroom during the allotted time.  This presents a bit of a challenge for me, as I do all of my writing on my computer.  My brain just thinks more clearly when I can write it as fast as I think it (I'm up to 74 wpm in my typing speed).  Having to do it all in longhand will take much longer, and be more difficult on my fingers.  I've been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and fingers, and writing in longhand is difficult for me.  However, I can type all day and no problems.  Perhaps she'll do the same as my Accouting teacher and allow us to write it at home.  I pray so!  Either way, I'm sure it will all be just fine.

I have plans during the break between terms.  I'm going to shampoo my carpets and thoroughly clean and organize my sewing room/office.  It's been needing it for a while, and while I don't have any sewing orders I'll take advantage of the time and go ahead and get it done.  I want to get started on sewing things for the upcoming Fall season and also Christmas, so the sooner everything's organized in here, the better.

Well, time to get to my evening devotion time.  I pray you've had a lovely and prosperous week, and spend time in church tomorrow worshipping our Lord and gleaning knowledge from your pastor's sermon!

Hugs,
