Then the rain came, I have a hard time with gloomy days.  My being becomes a bit gloomy like the weather, and I prefer to sit alone and read or ponder about different things.  Luckily, the rain did not come until Friday, but I felt the onset of my mood changing on Thursday.  Since it hit me harder on Friday, I am grateful that there was a plan in place to meet up with friends to begin our study of the book of Isaiah.  It was a safe place to talk about the way I was feeling, and to come to realization that it is perfectly normal to have ups and downs.  I know this, but of course it is always comforting when there is support.  

What do I mean by our plans failed?  Well, each week I write out the goals I have for the girls as it relates to which lessons should be completed, which activities we will do, and the places we will visit.  This past week about 75% of the plans actually happened.  There were two days last week that I was visited cluster headaches.  When I get these headaches, it is really hard for me to function at full capacity therefore I can't do all that I have planned.  Now the girls do continue to move forward with the majority of their work, but not all because there are some concepts that I must actually teach them.  Prayerfully, I will not have a headache for the next few months since I only get them a few times each year.
