Sheep Guarding Llama

Saturday.  A day of scripting for me.  Very busy.  Slept in a bit late as the kids were up terribly late last night.  Lots of work to be done.  We travel on Monday so this is pretty much a work day for me.

For dinner tonight, I made us tuna melts.  We watched Death in Paradise while we did some packing.

Friday. Another busy work day for me at home.

Tonight, Dominica made homemade curry and naan for dinner.  And we watched Death in Paradise, which took a little to get into but we’ve returned to it and are liking it.

The kids stayed up super late tonight doing one of those “but we never ate dinner” deals at midnight and managing to drag out eating dinner for three hours!

Thursday.  Started the day off with lots of phone calls.  So my morning was spent in the office pretty solidly.

It was an extremely busy day in the office and no time for me even to handle normal email management tasks.  I was swamped and had to work late into the evening.

Thanks to dad and aunt Sharon doing research, we’ve found that I had a great, great… uncle who was imprisoned and Leavenworth and killed for being a conscientious objector during World War 1.  He is in the book Civil Disobedience and written about several times in different sources.  And it turns out that late last year he was finally added to the World War 1 National War Memorial in Kansas.

I made veggie BLTs for dinner tonight. We are nearing the end of Altered Carbon on Netflix, we’ve enjoyed it a lot.

Wednesday.  Quite cold in Dallas this morning.  We had freezing rain last night and everything is frozen this morning.

First thing this afternoon, the girls had their first time going to a homeschool book club at the Carrollton Public Library.  They are a bit excited, a chance to make friends their own age that they should be able to see reliably over and over again.  We’ve been making use of the library more and more and this is an awesome chance to really leverage it for something awesome.  We are very hopeful that this will be really good for the girls.

The book club went well.  They made new friends and had a good time.  They have books picked out for next time and they are supposed to come back in a month and give a book report on the books that they are reading now.

We have upcoming travel scheduled, but we are making it all fit so that we are back in town just in time for the girls to make it to their next book club.  We think that this is going to work out really well.

We watched more Altered Carbon tonight.  Good show, glad that Netflix is able to make this stuff.

Tuesday.  Started the day with a phone meeting.  And then it turned from one conference call into another and I ended up being on the phone for the entire day.  A change of pace, at least.  That doesn’t normally happen.

Tonight we watched Altered Carbon which we had started last night.  We are getting into it now.
