is it friday yet?

Golly jeepers,
this week has been exhausting.

Is it Friday yet?
Please say yes.

We have been getting up early every morning to go
take standardized tests.
Well, by we I mean the kids, of course.
I am not being tested on anything, except the normal stuff
like my patience, self-control, moderation, discernment, etc., etc.

Anyway, I'm just not used to this rigorous schedule!
*I think someone is a little spoiled by the cushy life of homeschooling*
That'd be me.

No time to blog much so I'll leave you with another
pic from our sunny afternoon the other day.

Oh, and Macy and I met with our Chinese friend Joyce this
afternoon for coffee/tea.

It was really great.

Then Macy and I had a good chat (can you say, breakthrough?!)
on the way home.

I learned some things and I'm extremely grateful.

God is amazingly good and never ceases to keep
me wide-eyed and full of awe.
