A new week begins…

Mrs. White over at Legacy of Home does a weekly front porch visit.  I love the idea as it starts the week on a positive note, but I tend to forget about it until it’s too late.  Since I have a little time on my hands today, I decided to have my own little front porch visit as we get ready to jump start our week.  Since our front porch is a wee bit hot today, I’ll invite y’all inside to sit in the cool air conditioning.

This week, Munchkin will be attending day VBS on base.  Last year, she had lots of fun at the VBS here on base, so she asked if she could go this year.  Yes, she attended VBS at our church, but she wanted to go to this one as well.  At least one of her friends will be there daily with her.  Another friend will be going as she is able.  So, from 9 – 12 each day this week, I will have some free time to get things done.

After lunch, Munchkin will work on her school work.  She had last week off, so, much to her dismay, she will have school work to complete this week.  I’m such a mean mommy.  **grin**  In all honesty, she doesn’t mind too much, but she will want to play with her friends.  Good motivation to get things done in a timely manner?  I think so.

I have several reviews that I need to finish writing and get posted, so I’ll be working on those this week.  I need to work on clearing out some no longer needed curriculum as well as sorting through various items left over from the move.  I basically set a bunch of stuff aside as I wasn’t sure if we needed the items.  It’s been long enough now that I know that we don’t, so I’ll need to sell and donate the extra things.

On a side note: have you seen that the school supply sales have begun?  Oh, how I so enjoy shopping the back-to-school sales.  It’s fun to be able to pick up folders, pencils, and paper for a penny at Staples.  I keep my eye out for deals that will allow me to stock up not only on our supplies, but also to stock up on supplies to donate to the school supply drives.  It’s fun to look at each weeks ads and search for the best deals.  Have you seen any really good deals this week?

Well, I’m off to finish up the laundry and set something out for super.  I’m thinking we may have some chicken taco soup. I may bake some chocolate chip cookies, but we’ll have to see how hot the house gets as the afternoon temps hit. They may need to wait until tomorrow morning. Have a lovely day!
