Day 1160. I had to set my alarm for 8:30 this morning to make sure I was all done in time for my 10 am lesson. After breakfast I took the kids downstairs, where we read a Bible story together, then I went upstairs to get ready. Today I taught two hours, until noon, which is not typical for Saturday morning.

Day 1158. Just after 9 am I forced myself out of bed. Last night it had been late, close to 2 am. After breakfast I took them downstairs, where we read a Bible story together. By the time I sat down at the computer, it was already 10 am, so I only had 75 minutes to work, which wasn't much.

Day 1156. Today's swimming class was canceled, and so we had a morning off and no pressure to get up at a certain time. Emmy is always the first one up at about 7:30, and Tammy the last one to wake up. Sometimes Emmy is trying hard to get me out of bed, and today was one of those days.
