THE FUN OF LABOR DAY

I can hardly believe the kids have been in school for two weeks already. I started classes again just this week. I had 2 classes left to finish my AS in accounting, but the criteria changed and now I have 4 left. BUMMER!!! So now my mission is to get it over with. I am currently in Macroeconomics and Public Speaking. Next is Quick books and Life Skills (can you believe at my age I have to take a life skills class? I really think I should teach it)
Anywho, Kaylee is now a first grader and Titus is in kindergarten. Both are doing very well. Titus has tested at the top of his class for counting, letter( upper and lowercase) recognition and knowing their sounds. Very impressive for being autistic. Poor little fellow missed two days this week due to a cough and low fever.
Naturally our garden is just starting to really produce and I have tons of projects, like the impending load of homework yet to arrive. I've canned salsa(2batches), green beans(4qts.), several batches of pickles, and also several quarts of summer squash with tomato and onion. Oh yes and a batch of pickled beans. Now I'm staring at half bushel of tomatoes, and a couple dozen cukes. I have a class tomorrow night, kindergarten duty friday morning and we leave for camping Friday night. basically that gives me one morning. Maybe I'll flip a coin to decide what to do next, even though I know the tomatoes are probably the ripest. Take care!!!
