Michael and I are still running around, well more Michael than I. It seems that it will never be done, but we know that this too shall pass. This morning we had to drive to the next town and sigh the documents at the lawyers which interrupted my day but it really interrupted Michael's day. He is trying really hard to get all the lose ends tied up at work and it doesn't help that he has court cases both this morning and tomorrow morning. Oh, yeah, I just found out that he will be back here for a court case on the day that the new house closes....oy!
Who would have thought....I knew that there would be a lot to do when you sell but I never thought we would be running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Michael and I generally pride ourselves on being organized and this process has thrown every curve ball imaginable at us, we been put in our place, it has been a humbling experience.
The boys and I are trying to get school done, thank goodness for lists and school planners, we will try our best but there is no promises.....well off to the library, we still need good books to keep our minds busy.

the computer died
We have been with out a computer for almost a week, but we are back up and running now. It has been a busy week.
Michael and Wallace went away to church camp this week, Michael as a counsellor and Wallace as a camper. That left me and John home alone, John didn't miss Micheal much, I guess because he is used to Micheal going to work and even travelling for work but on the other hand he is not used to being away from Wallace and there were quite a few tears shed at that separation. It got so bad that we went up to the camp on Wednesday and John wandered around behind Wallace like a little lost puppy. It was actually a good day to go because it was so hot and humid that a dip in the lake felt soooooo good, even if the lake did feel like soup.
Wallace got heat stroke while he was at camp, he was blessed that his dad was there, it would be awful to get sick at camp and want your mom or dad and not be able to have them. Nobody comforts you quite like a parent. Micheal threw him in the shower and cooled him off slowly, he said that he could feel a noticable difference in his body temperature. When I saw him the next day he still didn't look totally well but said he was feeling better, he was also caring a bottle of water around, a lesson learned.
Last night Wallace was in bed at 7 and Michael by 10. It was a great week for them and they are both looking forward to next year.

A Quote
"God always gives his best to those that leave the choice with him."
Jim Elliot
Jim Elliot
Found this quote this morning and it defines the struggle that I have been going through the last few month. Good advice from a man who knew what it was to leave everything, even his life, in God's hands.

What we've been up to
1. VBS Good news Clues, boys had fun, I wasn't too stressed as all I did was help with the crafts.
2. Family Camp at Cape Blomidon. Beautiful weather, wonderful fellowship. Primative bathroom facilities. An AWEFUL scare when John wandered off with the 'big boys' to go on a hike up the mountian....at dusk. Thank God for his Grace and Mercy.
3. Lot's of rain.
4. Trying to keep the house clean in case by some miracle someone wants to look at it.
5. A great day with friends, went swimming, out for dinner and to Shakespeare By The Sea's production of Jack and the Beanstock.
It is only a little more than a week before we head back to school.....shh.....don't tell Wallace he'll throw a fit. I keep reminding him that if and when we move he will get a week off for the house hunting trip and 3 weeks when we actually move but when you're 10 it doesn't make much sense.
