Last week, I was looking over the blogs I’ve posted this semester, and I realized I’ve been rather neglectful in the world of blogging. My goal for this month, therefore, was to post 10 blog entries. Then, life happened (like it tends to do), and I fear I may not reach that goal. But, as Confucius said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So I will begin my journey of 10 blogs this month with one.
As I mentioned, life just got really busy. Ellen and I are babysitting for two of younger girls while their parents headed down to Yaoundé with C to pick up her pastor and his wife. The girls got dropped off early Saturday morning, and the parents were planning on coming back tonight, but things got a little complicated. So, what was just going to be me juggling homeschool with the kids for one day has turned into an indefinite number of days. Day one of school went pretty well. We didn’t quite get everything done—one of the girls had a test that took a very long time—but overall, school went well.
We’re trying to do some fun things together while the girls are here. We baked Christmas cookies on Sunday—sugar cookies with candy cane kisses to be exact. I may pull out another recipe if we need another time-filler sometime this week. Tonight, the girls and I also started working on a puzzle. It’s a 500-piece puzzle. I’m not sure if I’ve ever done a puzzle over 150 pieces. We’ll have to see how this one goes, and if we all have the endurance to keep going to the end.
