Just Hangin' In There!

It seems lately that if it isn't one thing then it is another with me...at the moment I am having sinus problems...quite painful.  I did have school with Elijah, Esther and Joy and read with Abigail.  After Joy read, we came into the sewing room and sewed the legs back on her stuffed monkey and also fixed his hand!  More monkey sewing...seems to be a theme this week! Then this afternoon I have just been reclining in my favorite spot...or so it seems lately...the recliner in our bedroom!  Joy and Esther came over wanting to earn some money after they finished with their school work at home.  Woody had the perfect job for them to do just that...he needed someone to hold up his tomato vines so he could mow under them.  They also engaged Abigail in this money earning endeavor and it was done in short order and they each earned a coin to put in their banks.  Joy and Esther came back over after lunch and hung around hoping that Woody would come up with more jobs for them to earn coins!  They did do a few more things...one big job being sweeping our front sidewalk.  We seem to have a squirrel who loves perching high above in one of our oak trees and he eats acorns there...dropping all the acorn shells on our walkway right in front of our front steps.  It looked, before it was swept, like one of those restaurants where people eat peanuts and drop the shells on the floor.  Woody got up early as usual and walked.  This time he walked seven miles. He has read, done that little bit of mowing, made tuna salad, and read some more. He is now downstairs watching a library DVD.  I did manage to work several crossword puzzles and play some games of solitaire and read a bit in my latest book and doze a bit this afternoon.  I'm just the life of the party at the moment (not)! The recliner is once again calling my name!
