There are only *3* days left of free bowling. The summer is truly drawing to a close. Today I took Bre, Krista, Arielle, Nolan and Zander bowling. Jamin and Jared had their orientation at House of Faith. All had a good time.
After a bit of bowling we headed to the park for an hour because I didn’t want to rush home and then back across town to get the boys. While at the bowling ally (we were quite a crowd with Adrienne’s Family, Tricia’s family, Kelley’s family and my family) we were asked if we homeschool by a mom who was there alone with her children. It was fun to visit with her and give her info about homeschooling in the community.
I went up to the clinic TWICE today. The first time to check on getting care for Krista while she is home. It appears that this simply isn’t going to happen. THEN I was called back to the base because they had decided to refill Josiah’s meds instead of giving us an appointment. It was funny that I ran into Mike at the pharmacy. He was getting a huge bag of meds to take with him. By the way, I kept my attitude and tongue firmly in check today while dealing with Tri-care….
I think we are going to have leftovers tonight. We have extra food from Sunday, I made potato cheese soup last night and that will make for an easy evening. The kids have started a game of monopoly.

Freebies
I forgot to say that at Mom's Night Out they had a freebie table. What a great idea. I now can put things THERE when we move instead of sending them to Goodwill.
I picked up a set of an economics course from BJU (complete with 3 workbooks, teacher manual and tests), a book called "Webbing with Literature" that looks like it will easily integrate with TOG and two copies of Zoobook.
One of my greatest finds was a copy of *The Old Schoolhouse*. Being a visual- show me type person I have been wanting to see a copy of this magazine to decide if I want to subscribe. The last homeschool magazines I received were years and years ago. I quit getting them because they were ALWAYS late and saying "forgive us we're a homeschool family". I always wanted to write back and say "Money's short - we're a homeschool family - don't worry if my payment is 6 months late". :::snort::: That's sort of my pet peeve. I'm always willing to extend grace when situations are out of a persons control but these were two well-known business names, they took my money, and I felt that they should publish on time instead of sending little notes explaining why they never published on time. Both magazines were also from a very definite theological background - and it didn't really match mine. LOL This was so LONG ago that the internet was JUST getting popular and I decided that the internet would have support that I needed in a timely fashion. However, this magazine looks like it may be a fun one to have and at least it LOOKS very professional. If any of you have done business with them - feel free to warn me if they are late each month. LOL I'm excited to sit and wait somewhere and read this. Sitting and waiting time will not be hard to find....I still have to deal with Tri-care today in an attempt to make two appointments. LOL
My greatest find is another program I've been wanting to SEE. Jodi, I picked up the Yellow Book of Learning Language Arts through Literature for FREE. The lady who had it on the table said she's had it for free at three meetings and no one ever picked it up. She said that she didn't think people realized what it was. I agree. LOL I'm excited to check it out - but I'm not sure the level is one that "fits" for us this year.
