Sunday in the far east...

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and .....not physically abuse my neighbor?  Yes, I know that is not how the Bible verse reads.  Can you tell I need someone to pray for me? 
I only have to make it through 4 more whole days including today, and then my husband will be coming in for a weekend.  We will have a mini vacay to spend together. Yes, I am looking forward to this.  As I type, the children are fighting.  Hunter is painting Abbi with white out and Abbi is not enjoying it.  Guess I have to intervene this time.... Ok now, where was I?  O yes, longing for my love to come home.  Rob is doing good with his school.  He has passed all the tests so far and only has a few more left.  Please continue to pray for him.  He is studying hard and doing his best. 
Abbi and Hunter will start some of their schoolwork soon.  We have to start before the other kids do because we will take off for a month at Christmas time to go home and be with family for leave.  We will also take off some for Thanksgiving time.  They are actually very excited about homeschooling as am I! We are planning to start off the year by doing some school work at the lake one day and at the castles the next day. 
Fisher will not be doing too much school work :)  but he will be learning his ABC's and some numbers.  We have a hard time pulling him away from the movie "Tangled".  He watches it near about every night to fall asleep to.  Of all things, the story of Rapunzel is his favorite.  He is still watching Mickey Mouse and Thomas the Train, so I guess, one movie about a princess won't hurt.  Although, he doesn't watch it for the princess, he calls it the "torsey movie" ("torsey" means "horsey").  I have got to get him a copy of the horse movie "Spirit". 
We are contemplating getting a new home for Rita.  It is too much having a large dog here.  It also provides problems when trying to go home for leave.  :(  She has been a special part of our family, but there are also other problems in our building with another family's dog, and it would just be best if there was only one large dog to point the blame to.  We keep our dogs under control at all times, but some people do not and it has caused problems.  Living in a communal building has been the thing that I dislike the most here.  I would love to be in our wide open spaces back in Louisiana.  Yes, I am looking forward to leave.  :)
