 So I don't have as much service time as I wanted so far.  So I pretty disappointed in myself.  But at least I still have time, and I am coming up with a new plan so that I can make my time this month.  I hope I make my time. I'm still trying.  I am not sure why I got so far behind.  I think I was just so relieved I made my time for the year, I didn't feel the urgency... hummm, well, IDK if that is it.  Well, it doesn't matter, what matters is I make a new plan so I can get my time in.  OK< that doesn't sound right either... it isn't about the time.  When I do letter writing or make RVs, I don't think about the time, I think about the people, that I hope when they receive their letters that they will open their hearts to the truth.  So I guess I don't know how to word what my goal is, without seeming it is about the time, rather it is about the effort.  however, we don't record the effort we record the time.... AUGH!  I guess as long as I continue to keep focused on the quality, that is what is important.  

As for EO, he is still in so much pain.  In fact, it has pretty much taken him to his knees, a number of times.  I wonder if he could manage with crutches?  Oh, wait, I think I asked him if he wanted to try them... or did I?  IDK  Well, anyways he isn't any better today.  I knew there was no way he could manage getting to the meeting this morning.  He can't hardly walk, let alone sit in a chair for 2 hours.  He tried to sit at the table to eat and he just suffers.  Right now he is laying in my chair and Latae is laying on his lap soaking up the sun.  Latae is so good at comforting us when we are sick.. or injured.

I didn't get my blanket done yesterday.  I haven't figured out how I want to do the back yet.  There was just too much going on yesterday and I didn't have the energy to focus on it.  Plus I wasn't feeling very good.  I had the kids help and make dinner for us last night, being everyone was home. I just didn't want EO trying to do that.  So I assigned them work.

I didn't feel to great yesterday, but today I feel far worse.  I don't think I will finish my blanket today either.  I guess I don't really need to worry about it right now anyways.  If I feel better tonight, or tomorrow or the next day... it will get done when it gets done.  I know Steph really wants a new fleece blanket too.  Although she just bought a SUPER awesome comforter... I don't think I have taken a picture of her bed yet.  I really need to do that someday.  

So I heard there are a few people who want to come see the horses.  Maybe in a week or so when EO is up and around we can have some over for lunch after the meeting?  I've been wanting to have a few over anyways.  So we will see how he is doing by next weekend.  If on Saturday he thinks he can manage it, we will see who wants to come.  

Colton survived his 10 day work stretch.  Now he has the next few days off. So later today he and James are heading to Iowa to visit Jed.  And then they will be back on Thursday.  Jed has been asking them to come see him.  I'm sure they will have a good time.

Steph has today and tomorrow off from work.  I think she is going to spend some time with her horses.  I think.  Well, she is still falling asleep all the time.  If she keeps doing this next month, I am going to have her go see a doctor.  It was understandable when she was working double shifts almost everyday for ... the whole summer, and I can't expect she is going to recoup in only a week.  But, if after a month, there is no improvement, It will be time to see a doc.

Lauren wasn't feeling well this morning either. She hasn't felt good for a couple days.  But I am sure in a day or so she will pick up.
