Is It Really Almost Friday?

How this week has flown by! I can't believe it's Thursday already.

Yesterday was Katie's Dr appt. She does indeed need to have her tonsils removed. We're waiting for a call from the surgery coordinator to find out what our part of the cost not covered by insurance will be, and when the surgery will be scheduled. Katie is so excited, she can hardly contain herself. I'm still glad that the worries and bad parts are still a mystery to her. If she only knew how miserable she'll feel afterward, she wouldn't be looking forward to it so much. But again, it's going to help her in so many ways. They rate tonsils on a 0-4, 4 being the worst. Her tonsils come in rating as a 4 and a 2, so it's best to have them out. Now just to figure out what's best to ease a nervous Momma and her active imagination!

Today is the County Spelling Bee! I am very excited to see the kids compete. I of course, hope they do well, and would be ecstatic if they won. But I am so proud of them that they've made it this far, that I couldn't ask for more. I am blessed with incredibly bright kids. It is a joy to see how smart they are and how well they are doing.

Tomorrow there is no school. The kids are excited for a 3 day weekend. It's weekend like this that I wish Mark had vacation time left. He does however get his vacation in May, and this year, he gets two weeks, instead of just one!

I'm hoping to make some more salve tomorrow. I'm going to try a new recipe, one I'm working on on my own. The last salve came out so nice, I thought I'd make another, with some different herbs this time. I only wish I didn't lack essential oils to give it that extra boost of goodness. The checkbook cringes when it sees the cost of essential oils though, so we'll just make due without.
