Typical Week

I thought I would give you all a run-down of this week. Mind that this is a fairly typical week.

MON: Sheri and the boys go swimming at the Y with a family friend we've had since Jonah was in pre-school. 7:00 - 9:00. Ken gets home after his after-school duties (5:30 or 6:00), does dishes, laundry, and writes a short blog online.

TUE: Jonah has swim lessons from 5:00 - 6:00. Toby plays in the childcare area (coloring most of the time) while Sheri reads or rides a bike. I typically go to Bible Study from 6:00 - 7:00 but my school is having a family math night from 6:30 - 7:30, so I won't make it to Bible Study this week.

WED: I have a union stewards meeting from 4:45 - 6:30. (Fourth Wed of the month is union meeting night for me.) I then go to choir practice from 7:15 - 8:45. I'll eat dinner at about 9:30. (I give a choir member a ride to and from practice and church, so I get home a tad late.)

THU: I have my after-school duties again until about 5:30. Nothing else is on the calendar for this Thursday.

FRI: Fridays are pretty uneventful for us. We're all so tired by Friday that we don't do much by the end of the week. I'll come home early from school ("early" means a little before 5:00). We will probably have guests over for dinner -- Sheri's parents are in town and we would love to cook BBQ ribs from the half-hog from the organic farm we have in the freezer downstairs. Yummy.

That's it. This is the way most of our weeks go. Throw in an occasional Trustee Ministry Meeting for Ken, Community Outreach Ministry Meeting for Sheri, Spaghetti Dinner/ Bingo for Books at the kids' school, or other special event, and you've got a typical week at the Becks!
