It must need be late in the evening for me to able to post. No noises of kids and their demands. Alone to my thoughts and worries. Wednesday nights always seem to be the hardest to sleep.
There was some speculation that this was caused by the excitement of kids and Awana and my inability to gear down after club. The other contender was the fact that Thursday is chemo day and I have a lot of underlying stress creeping in. This summer has provided the later to be true as we have not had kids club for 2 months. I suppose more time in God's word would help abate these fears.
Harry is traveling with my Dad in a semi-trailer. When he returns on Saturday he will have been gone a week. It has been a quite week. The littles don't seem to fight the same when he it gone but they do fight. Snotty little bickering that just doesn't seem to happen when Harry is around. He doesn't let Lauren do snotty.
Just a little more than 3 weeks left of summer vacation. Where does it all go. Gotta get a friend party or 2 planned in this short time left. Wonder what we should do. We had planned to go to the new pool in Ames but they are really slow in opening the pool.
We have loved the pool this year. Lauren and Levi are old enough they can be dropped off at the pool for a few hours all by themselves. Which I did Monday. However, about 50 minutes later there they were at my back door. A friend had brought them home as there was a "fecal" matter at the pool (read A KID POOPED in THE POOL). They were a little shock up but bounced back well. They wanted to go back yesterday. OK. They will probably go tomorrow as I have chemo. (The did not get to go today because of a messy room incident.)

New Beds
This is my first post. It is getting late, for me, and I wish I was in bed but I can't sleep. Maybe I will have a bowl of cereal and try again.
Luke and I begin a project journey today. I had asked him last year at this time what he thought about lofting the kids beds. He didn't get excited about it and so I let it go. I brought it up again this year and even did a little research about what I wanted the beds to look like. Then he knew I was serious and he got excited to. Volunteering to help with the project in the shop, something I have only done a handful of times, may have been the clincher. So, today we trekked down to Earlham and Osceola to purchase boards for this project and another to be determined. Our initial estimate it that all three lofts without any extra bookshelves or desks just the lofting part can be built for about $20 a bed with the deal on the wood we had today.
Now I'm getting excited. That would be a great day if we can get the kids bed lifted up and maybe build them each a desk and some book shelves for less than $200 all total. Hip, hip, hooray
