CHP Academy Day 93/187

Today was nice! Got the girls to school on time...later than usual, but still on time.  Got home, set M up with some "Caillou" while I got some work done.  Work included: pruning- hence the flower above; cleaning of Ms. Chez N Crackers' cage; dishes; and laundry.  I even got two days done on my bible study! Which doesn't sound like much, but it is a Beth Moore study = a lot of work.  I finished rewriting the book of James-part of the study- and had time to have a cup of coffee!  By that time, it was time to go get the girls.  M was in an extremely bad mood after her nap, so to distract her I suggested we bring the dogs to get the girls.  And just like that, she was back to her happy self!  She giggled all the way to the school.  I have a feeling M will expect the dogs to come along more often.  At one point I looked in the mirror and saw Hans sitting in A's booster seat and Daisy sitting in H's booster seat! :)

So the girls and I have a deal; if they have their room clean and are ready for bed by 7:30, I will read a chapter (or two) from The Chronicles of Narnia.  Tonight at 7:29, just as I was about to go upstairs, all three girls started screaming for me.  Apparently, instead of straightening up their room, they decided to play with some glow sticks that A got from her soccer party.  One started to leak, and since I had warned them previously that the stuff inside is poison, they started to freak out.  By the way they were screaming you would have thought it had gotten all over the place, but there was one tiny glowing spot on the sheet and two on M's blanket.  I finally got them to calm down, made them wash their hands, and then noticed their room was a mess.  So after all that, I didn't even get to read to them.  :( 

Brian's day was a long one.  He had his first day of high speed.  He said it was fun, but he didn't pass.  He gets three more chances, starting tomorrow.  He is not very confident that he will pass tomorrow, but he is confident that he will pass at some point. :)  He did pass his basic stop test tonight!  Yay!  Tomorrow he has PT at 4:45 am, then his certification for handcuffing & searches.  He better pass that one!  Seriously. :)  He is feeling pretty good about, but you never know.  He does have liberty tomorrow night, but we are not going up to see him.  He is going to spend his evening practicing out at the range.  I am okay with that.  So tomorrow for him is busy. 

Tomorrow should be another quiet day at home.  I should go grocery shopping, but I am not feeling that plan right now.  :)  The only plan I am feeling right now is bed time. :)

Blessings,

 ***Side note: Today is Election day.  Proud to say I did vote, not today, but a couple weeks ago.  I would have to drag M down to the polling place which would be no fun.  I am not going to say whether or not I am happy about the out come.  But isn't it nice to know that no matter who is in office, God put them there?  Biblical.  All part of a perfect plan.  Who am I to argue with God?  I do believe it is my duty/privilege to vote, but my faith does not lie in politics. :)  I will say that I am happy that the election is over.  The mud slinging was ridiculous!  Kind of made me sad.
