What we do on Thursday
I’m still without my laptop, but I have my phone and the inconvenient computer in the family room. So today, you see what we do on Thursday. (Yes, it looks like a simple, quick blog post. But with this hand-crank computer, it took an hour to get the photos resized and uploaded, in which time […]

Terrible Tuesday: That’s a lot of straws
I’m not saying the camel has a broken back. I’m just saying that’s a lot of straws. The end is nigh links! I wished for a Khan Academy for sewing on Twitter, and *poof* a friend pointed me to Craftsy. I know what I want for Christmas! New degrees challenge “time-served” model. I don’t know […]

Terrible Tuesday: 600 days!
Today is my 600th day of consecutive blogging. It’s not really an anniversary; it’s just a nice looking number. Very round. 600. Six hundred. DC. Well, that ruined it. Arbitrary goals links! Combining exercise and art. Major kudos to this guy who drew a bicycle on a map by riding 212 miles in a day. […]

Does this little girl make housecalls?
I know I’ve posted this before, but seriously, this is a message my kids need to hear. With four kids in different grades, I like to combine lessons when I can to keep me sane-ish. Even when they aren’t combined, they are generally doing the same thing in a subject like math. For example, […]

Too many priorities
I finally got around to getting Little Miss in for her well-child checkup, although at 14 she’s not really a child. It’s probably time to switch to a family doctor for her, but eh, we like her pediatrician, even if she is a bit skittish. Has anyone met a non-afraid pediatrician? I’m pretty sure she […]

One month reassessment
I snagged this from the Facebook page of a friend who’s a teacher in public school. (Middle school math. Pray for her.) I think everyone — homeschool, public school, or private school — feels a little shell-shocked after the first month of school. We’ve been back to “the more structured daily lessons” grind for […]

Tapping the brakes
We’re calling this week a do-over, a grace week, a “did anyone get the plates on that truck that just hit us” week. After a bit of a rough start, I had to go out of town last week to attend a funeral. While my husband performed admirably as my homeschool sub, my absence did […]

Technically, I survived
How did the first week of school go? Shame and embarrassment made sexual dysfunction a taboo subject in polite company for on line levitra devensec.com a long time, which gave it a prominent position in the urban legends and endorsed dozens of folk remedies of doubtful effectiveness. Any misalignment in the body can cause […]

Terrible Tuesday: wee sma edition
Third night in a row I’m up at three in the morning. It all begins with Jack the Brat (official new nickname) deciding he needs to go out. But then my mind says, “You’re up! Think about stuff. And more stuff! Ooh, have you considered this?” Stupid mind. Anyway, might as well get something useful […]

Nobody’s dead or maimed, I’m calling it a win.
Day one of the 2014-2015. I’ve got assignments assigned, pencils sharpened, and schedules color-coded. I’ve even got my workspace organized! It’s a first day of school miracle! I knew today would not go according to plan; I even planned for it! New routines have to be broken in. I get this. I’m not new. Still […]
