November 21

Today was cold and rainy and windy.  The wind is howling around the house tonight so I will probably have a harder time going to sleep.

We got up and read scriptures and then Maren called.  She wanted to know if she could freeze roll dough.  I told her I thought it would be okay but she might want to look online.  She told me some cute things that Ellie said when she wanted her to clean her room.  She kept telling her that she was "too little" Later she texted me and said that she finally got her to clean her room by promising her she could help with the rolls.  They had a fun time doing them together.

After breakfast we went to the gym.  We worked so hard I came home soaked from perspiration.  We took showers and got ready for the day.  It was about noon when I finally went in to work on the curriculum.  But before I started I looked at the bank account and was shocked that it was overdrawn.  So we scrambled around the house finding all our stashes of money so we could make up the $75.00 dollars we were overdrawn.  We finally found enough and Larry went to deposit it while I went to work.

I worked most of the afternoon with occasional breaks to move so I did not fall asleep.  I got quite a  bit done on the chapter 12 so hopefully it will be ready to turn in in a few days.

Nathan kept texting me today.  He said that he had gone bowling today with recreational therapy.  He said that they had a ramp to roll the ball on.  He also had a swallow test yesterday and he still cannot drink thin liquids.  He said they also worked him on the mats. It was good to text back and forth with him for a while.

Kirsten called and wanted me to tend Taylor.  I told her I would but I asked Larry if he would help me with her so I could work so I could get this job done!  Taylor was pretty happy with him as long as she had something to eat and Disney Junior to watch.  Specifically Sophia the 1st.  We all ended up playing Polly Pocket for a while at the end.  I was impressed that Larry would play it today.  Usually he doesn't want anything to do with it.

Larry fixed dinner while I worked.  He made Hamburgers and Green Salad.  It was good!

I worked for a while after dinner but finally I could not stand it anymore.  I came in the living room about 7:50 p.m. and began pacing back and forth for some exercise.  The wind was so bad that I didn't want to go back to the gym.  I paced until about 8:45 and then we read scriptures. 

We like to watch Elementary on Thursday nights.  It comes on at 9:00 p.m. here. I made us some cocoa and toast to eat and then I paced for most of it. also.

Larry started trying to do some work on the ancestor that we had problems with the other day,  After Elementary we worked on it for about an hour and a half, but we got Robert Lee Burt with his wife Mary Francis Shults and his second wife Anna Williams and got all the duplicates combined so it is a lot better than it was yesterday.  He still needs to be sealed to his second wife Anna or Roxie Williams.  I love it when I find something that ties everything together.
