Things are slowly improving...

For one, the maggots are GONE! :) I worked really hard on Wednesday to get the kitchen cleaned up and get all of them out of the house that I could see. Now, granted, I didn't move the refrigerator or the stove, but I moved everything else that was moveable and swept them all up and got them outside for trash day on Thursday. Time will tell in a few days if we start seeing hoards of flies in the house...then we'll know I didn't get them all! LOL Oh well....lessoned learned. A HARD lesson learned. I still have this smell in my kitcehn (which permeates the rest of the house) that is just an old, dirty, icky smell. I have cleaned everything I can find that might be the source to no avail. I've burned candles and incense and it's still there. I'm wondering if it will just take time and lots of candles to get completely rid of it. I'm also thinking that we will open the windows this weekend and air out the house with the attic fan. Perhaps that will help.

T's mom is doing much better. Her kidney levels are coming down and she's sounding more and more like herself. She still has a long way to go to get out of the hospital and then even longer with rehab. But at least her rehab is supposed to be closer to home (30 minutes from home for her as opposed to 3 hours) and will make her feel better. We're so thankful that things are turning back in the right direction for her.

We had TKD last night, after a VERY long and eventful day yesterday. The boys got to spar for the second time and they really like it. They just love the opportunity to hit and kick one another and it be okay.... LOL.

C also started his last year of Thursday School yesterday morning. He has been so excited about going back to TS and really had a great day yesterday. While he was in TS, B got to start doing a state study with our homeschool group. One of the moms has volunteered to teach it to several of the kids and we're going to be doing one state per week. It's so neat to learn little tidbits about the states...the flower, the bird, the motto, population, etc. She's really put alot of effort into ths and we're so thankful! :)

Well, I need to clean our schoolroom and get somethings done before the day totally gets away from me. The boys want to play outside too....fine with me....I get to read more when they play outside! LOL

Happy Friday!
