What a nice evening it has been!
Aside from worrying about my brother and sister-in-law, and niece and nephew who, as I mentioned in my last post, were going to Hawaii, it has been a lovely night. There was an 8.9 earthquake in Japan earlier today, which caused tsunamis all around the Pacific, and Honolulu was one of the areas evacuated. I last heard from my brother eleven hours ago, but all the news reports online I have seen show little damage in Hawaii, so I'm hoping he is fine, just unable to contact us due to power outages and over-worked cell lines, as the news reports say.
Other than that I have done more work tonight than I usually am able to do in a week. E and I did 8 lessons in Language, read a story, and she requested doing another reading comprehension exercise. She got an A + and only has one lesson to go in 2nd grade Reading. Actually, she got A +'s in all her subjects today; the ones tonight were just extra ones we did "for fun".
C and I did History about an hour ago.
E picked up their room, and then C vacuumed it, and now they are playing a board game.
And me? I have gotten one load of clothes washed and in the dryer, and I have a load of curtains in the washer right now. I also washed the clothes hamper...definitely not something I do on a regular basis. LOL And I did all my morning chores for tomorrow, so I'm not sure what I'll do in the morning. And took the garbage out. I also have my coffeepot soaking in the sink, and will be scrubbing it when I finish writing here...I can't use it until I clean it, and I spent this morning and all day caffeine-less. I think that is probably the first time I have spent in 15 or 20 years without coffee, and I do NOT want to make THAT a habit!
I seem to be on a pretty good cleaning roll tonight, even without caffeine, so....back to work.
Praying for the people in Japan tonight.
