Busy, Busy and Thoughts and Prayers Please :).

It’s been a busy few days here.  Friday was the MOMS Club® meeting.  It went pretty well.  I was a big surprised.  Usually it’s a little more chaotic but this time it wasn’t.  It was nice :).

Saturday I had a headache for most of the day but eventually it went away and I went to a friends house where she was hosting a craft night and I learned a little bit about scrapbooking and she and another friend gave me some stuff to use :).  I’d like to get more into it but man it can be expensive *sigh*.  It was a lot of fun!

Sunday was Church of course and the rest of the day was pretty lazy.  I went to bed late on Saturday night so I was tired most of the day Sunday.  I even took a nap and still went to bed early!  I was that tired LOL.

Today was really busy.  First I didn’t realize till last minute I had a meeting within MOMS Club® for something we are doing on April 25th.  So I had to rush to get out the door to get to that but it was nice.  I got to talk with some friends too and that’s always nice.

After that we came home and hubby went and took some Library books back for me and then we were all off to the Laundromat to do laundry.  Which is never really fun when you have a husband and two children along LOL.  Especially when said husband is in a rush ugh!

Why was hubby in a rush?  Because he wanted to get new tires put on our jeep.  He had to get there (he called them earlier) before 4:00 p.m. to get them put on and balanced and what not.  So he was a bit impatient at the Laundromat.  Sorry honey I can’t force the dryers to dry faster LOL. 

Just when I think things are not so busy something happens and we are out the door.  That’s ok though because I’d think I’d be board without all the running we do LOL.

Hubby has his job interview tomorrow.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that he can get this job.  It might start off part-time and low pay but with it being a State Job it will get better.  We will just have to tighten our belts more than we have already but I know we will get through till then.  Thanks for the support everyone :).

Boy's Singing and Cold Weather

Yesterday, at Church the boys got to sing with the adult choir for four songs!!  Dummy me forgot my camera though ugh.  We were over 1/2 way there when I realized it!  Ugh sometimes I don't know where my head is.

They did really well too!!  Jarod was on the bottom row on the left hand side and he was the second one in that line.  Then Chord being as tall as he is was in the top row (there was only 2 rows) on he was the first one all the way to the right.  They sang Silent Night, Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel, and What I want for Christmas.  I was so proud for them :)!  Now if only I had pictures *sigh*.

It's been really cold here the last few days so other than going to Church yesterday we haven't done much at all.  The roads are pretty yucky too.  The road commission I guess (just like most of Michigan) is cutting down on things like only salting and scrapping main roads and no over time.  So the roads are awful!  Thankfully we have the jeep which is a part time 4x4. 

It's been so bad that Harlow has even had to get one of our neighbors cars unstuck in our own driveway (we share the same driveway) a few times.  Thankfully they have our number they  ever need to get pulled out!

Tomorrow I have to go to the Laundromat to do laundry so hubby said he would drive me (the boys too of course LOL) there.  Which I am glad because I really don't like driving in this mess.  I have driven in snow before but this is a lot of snow and ice!  Anyone out there need any ice or snow? LOL.  I would be too happy to ship those out along with the cold LOL.  I am so not a winter person!  How about you?

Feeling Better

I still have the boys cold that they gave me(aren't they so sweet to share ugh).  Only I seemed to have gotten it worse then they did.  How come when they had it, it was just sniffles with a little  bit of a cough?  They were still able to function and still enjoy the day.

Me not so much.  It all started the morning of Thanksgiving (So thankful for my boys for this. You do know I am being sarcastic right? LOL) morning when I woke up.  At first it was just the sniffles but as the day wore on it totally wore me out.  Especially since we were at our Pastors house eating and just enjoying everyone's company.  It was nice but man was I beat when we got home (more so than I would have been had I felt better.)

The next day as I have said was at my bil and sil's home to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Again I didn't feel all that well but I made it through that but again was exhausted when we came home.

Saturday we didn't go any where which was good because I felt pretty yucky and Sunday I made it to church but still felt really bad.

Today I  am thankfully feeling better but not 100% and of course tomorrow is off to the Laundromat to do laundry.  I would love to just be able to take a week off to recuperate from Thanksgiving LOL. 

I just don't get why I seemed more effected by this illness then the boys did?  Man I want their immune systems LOL.  Don't worry I haven't sneezed or coughed on this blog and my hands have been washed so I shouldn't be able to pass it to you LOL.  Sure I like to share but I will try and keep this illness from anyone else LOL.  I hope every one had a good day.

Laundry, Bunk Beds and Stress

Not much going on today.  Hubby went with us today to the Laundromat because he had to go to Michigan Works to update a few things so he can get his extension on Unemployment. 

While I was folding laundry he helped with school work by having Jarod read to him.  Jarod did really well.  He's really coming along in his reading.

When we got home we finished up school work and cleaned the boy's top bunk.  See we don't have a lot of room and the boys don't have a closet in their room.  So some of their big "Star War" ships were up there.  The boys have shared the bottom bunk for a while now.  Even when it wasn't all full of stuff they liked to sleep in the same bad. 

Hubby bought an extra bin to put at least most of them in and the rest on top of them (these are big ships.  Got them on E-bay :) ).  So now they have the top bunk again.  They were really excited about it now though.  I think they are getting older and need their own space.  I am glad we cleaned it up for them. 

Jarod is now sleeping on the top (he really wanted to LOL) and Chord is sleeping on the bottom bunk (Which he prefers anyway).  Besides they are both getting to big to share one twin sized bunk LOL.  Nice to have a little more room too I think.

Friday is the MOMS Club® Membership Meeting so once again I am having to get the Newsletter ready for print.  We are still working on it but this month I am not getting stressed out about it.  I figure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing.  So if it doesn't get done they can't really blame me for it :P.  I am learning not to stress the small stuff (really trying anyway LOL). 

So how about you?  Do you get stressed easily? (Oh I sure can on certain things). What is something that really stresses you out? What do you do to chill out? LOL.  I was just curious to see if I am alone or not LOL.

Sorry I know I haven't blogged since Thursday. It's been a busy weekend. Friday I had a MOMS Club® Calendar Planning meeting in the mid morning for next months Calendar. After that we just spend time together and then hubby had to go to band practice. I just didn't get a chance to blog. I also had to type up a few things for the Calendar.

Saturday, we went to my BIL's house for his birthday. His birthday was actually Thursday but we celebrated it on Saturday. The boys had a great time at their cousins (as they always do LOL) and we had a good time too. had a cook out and all. All though we ate in doors because it was a bit chilly. The kids did get to go out and play for a bit though later.

Sunday, was Church of course and then right afterwards I had to take the boys to a birthday party of their friends. (Same friend we did the Shimmy dancing at :D ) The boys had a blast there too. She had a lot of fun games for the kids to play. Like racing, tug of war, water balloon catch and other fun games like that. It was a nice laid back party and I know all the kids had so much fun and so did the moms! Afterwards I and another friend helped her clean up a bit before we left. I know how over whelming that can be with a lot of kids in the house LOL.

Today, was a Board Meeting with the MOMS Club® to finalize the Calendar and talk about our Agenda for Nov. It went pretty well. I think we are getting in the grove of things. Now I just pray the Newsletter goes smoothly. After the meeting I came home finished up schooling with the boys (started before I left) and typed up and sent the minutes to the other board members and fixed parts of the Calendar that needed to be fixed.

Tomorrow is just laundry day. So the boys and I will go to the Laundromat and get the laundry done and then come home and chill. So the next two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) I don't have much planned. At least not at the moment. Then Thursday just going to my friends house to do some Shimmy (Belly Dancing) with her and just hang out for a bit. Later we will go grocery shopping. Friday, as of yet no plans. I hope we don't do too much because I am already tired LOL. I know this post is just one big blur but I am tired but I am tired and just wanted to tell you all what I have been up to LOL. Please forgive my babbling. So how was your weekend and have any plans for the rest of the week?

Well not much went on today other than going to the Laundromat. I even got a nap in today which I needed. I have been staying up a little later and getting up at six a.m. so it's caught up with me LOL. I read a book I got from the Library before going to bed. Hey at least I am reading right? LOL.

Anyway things are going ok here. Hubby will be register for school tomorrow but won't be starting school till January. He is a bit nervous about starting school since he hasn't been to school since high school and collage is a bit different anyway. So if you can can you pray for him :). I know we would appreciate it. We have had some struggles since he's been laid off at the end of Feb. but I just know that we will be ok. God had gotten us through so much before this I know He will get us though. Sometimes it is hard to lean on Him though when I don't know where we are going you know? So please lots of prayers for us so we can stay calm and lean on God to get us through. Thanks!!!

Don't have anything much to blog about. Had a pretty laid back weekend. Still trying not to use too much gas. The place we went to this weekend was Church. Oh and hubby went with his friend to Musicians Friend so he (his friend) could pick something up. That was about it for us. Today was much the same. Only difference is we did schooling LOL.

Tomorrow I am going to a Pot Luck within the MOMS Club®. It's a Mexican themed and we all get to bring one ingredient to it. Which is good for me because I am really awful on knowing what to bring or make for a pot luck LOL. This time I am bringing the shredded cheese LOL. So it should be a good time.

The rest of the week we aren't doing anything till Friday. That's when (if weather permits) hubby drops us off at my friends house (she homeschool's too) and then we head for the Zoo. We got a membership before hubby was laid off so as long as we pack our lunches we won't have to pay for anything :).

Tomorrow is also laundry day so I am going to go to the Laundromat (with boys and their school work) head to the store for a couple things and then to the Pot Luck. Then on Thursday we will probably do a bit of grocery shopping. So that is our week planned out. Pretty boring huh? LOL. How was your weekend?

Busy, Busy (So what's new LOL)

Today has been one busy day.  Woke-up at my new 6:00 A.M. time and did my exercises (after a couple cups of coffee of course LOL).  Then the boys got up and I fed them breakfast.  Afterwards I got stuff ready and we did some school work. 

Then it was off to the MOMS Club® Membership Meeting.  It ended up being a long meeting because we had a vote on some money issues.  Any time there is money issues you can guarantee it's going to be a long meeting.  Then afterwards some of the other board members and I talked.  Hopefully things will run smoothly in a few months.  We are all new to the board so we are working out the kinks LOL.

After the meeting we came home had lunch and finished some school work.  So after that I had to type up minutes from the meeting and send out a few emails on different things (sign-up sheets to the right coordinator's).  Then of course after all that it was dinner time. 

Tomorrow is Laundry day so I will be up and having to run again tomorrow.  I will take some school work with us to the Laundromat so the boys can do that while I do laundry. 

Wednesday nothing planned (yeah!!) but then on Thursday morning a mom from the MOMS Club® is going to pick the boys and I up and we are going to the Zoo.  I wouldn't have gone because of gas prices but she offered to come pick us up.  So glad we  have a membership though.  That's one less expense and I will just pack the boys and I a lunch. Then on Friday nothing but grocery shopping planned.  All in all this will be a busy week.  I hope everyone had a good Monday :).

Not much going on today. Went to go to the Laundromat but as we turned in we saw firetrucks and police and amulances pull into the outlit mall it is at. Seems like the nail place a few doors down caught fire. So we had to go to a different Laundromat. Wasn't too bad and not a lot of people were there so I was able to get it done quick enough. I had the boys do some school work while we were there. Mostly just reading and me readint to them. They also worked on some math flash cards.



Jarod is doing much better in math now. I have been working with him for a few days now on the flash cards. He seems to be getting math now. I pray it continues. He just learns differently than Chord and I have to find different ways to teach him :). He's a smart cookie but needs a lot of visual and hands on things to learn.



That was about all that happened today. I hope everyone is having a good week.

Well today we started schooling officially I think LOL. We have been doing work on and off through the summer. Now I am hoping to keep things going from here on out. Tomorrow we will do a little bit of schooling because they have a play date with their friend. The one that got canceled before. They have been really looking forward to it so I don't want to have them too much work. I know since we are starting early anyway (and have done some already) they won't be behind.

Tomorrow I have to laundry as well. So I will have to get up a bit early and get to the Laundromat get that done and then come home put the clothes in the house (some of the shirts will still be wet because they can't be dried) and then get the boys around and out to their friends house. It should be a good time. For boys and for me since the mom is my friend too LOL.

I hope everyone has a good week!

Ugh another humid day. Add to that we had a bit of some drama with our new neighbors. It's been something since they moved in. I won't get into details but it's been pretty much a respect issue and well there is no respect at all of anything. I pray that things will be resolved and we can live peaceably. I hate having conflict with neighbors. At least we have the other one we have always gotten along with.

Not much else going on today. It was laundry day LOL. It got done pretty quickly. I know when winter comes we have a lot more laundry. It always seems to happen that way LOL. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. Just seems too hot to think of anything LOL. One of these days I will post more though LOL. Hope everyone had a good day.

Been a busy weekend. Saturday we didn't really go anywhere but I cleaned the living room and bathroom really well. Then Sunday we went to my SIL and BIL's house to go swimming! I will post some pics at the end of this post. We didn't get home till after 9P.M. and we were all pretty wore out then LOL.

I got some water in my ear and today it's finally coming all out. Note to self next time bring ear plugs. LOL. I wasn't going to go swimming and just watch everyone because I haven't owned a bathing suit in many many years (probably before kids LOL) and the only shorts I ever wear our Capri shorts because frankly I don't like my legs LOL. But, my SIL had some extra bathing suits and she let me borrow one. So we all ended up swimming and we did have a great time!!

Today I didn't get to really clean the kitchen like I was planning on. I had to drop off a Library book and also pick up some for the boy's and things and then we went to Harlow's cousins house just to visit. So tomorrow after going to the Laundromat I am hoping to get the kitchen done. I may have lost my motivation though LOL. Please give me some encouragement LOL! So how was every one's weekend?

Jarod and I racing. I won LOL.

Harlow helping Jarod

Me trying to get water out of my ear while Harlow is coming to dunk me LOL.

Me hugging Harlow pleading him not to dunk me LOL.

Harlow in the process of dunking me with Chord coming in to watch LOL.

Chord and I.

Harlow squirting me with the squirt gun and Chord laughing LOL.

My other SIL (not the one who's house we are at) is the one that took the pics. I have more but they have other family members in them and I don't think they want their pics on the Internet LOL. It was a good time!!

Today I went to the Laundromat to do laundry. I went to Big Lots after I loaded the washing machines (it's within walking distance) and looked for some Sharpies for hubby but there wasn't any there. So I had to stop off at Meijer after I finished laundry and pick some up for him. Who knew that could be such a hassle lol.

After I got home hubby was outside taking a part a wheel chair ramp. See our old neighbors next door had a child that used a wheel chair so they built a ramp in our part of the yard (we agreed of course :D) so she could get on the bus. Well the moved out a few months back but left the ramp. So I helped hubby tear it down (it already had a hole in it so it really did need to come down). I even used the power drill to take some screws out LOL. Harlow said hmm I've never seen you use a power tool before that's sexy LOL!! Let me tell you though taking that thing down was hard work. My muscles are sore from doing it. I guess that was my work out for today LOL. That's ok though I didn't mind helping anyway. To be honest I would rather do that kind of work than house work any day LOL. Yes I know I am odd LOL. You have to remember I have always been a tomboy at heart LOL. I hope everyone had a great day!!

Tomorrow I have a MOMS Club® membership meeting to attend. This is one I will learn a little bit more about being the Secretary. I'll have to shadow the current Secretary and then I am on my own in July. This is something new for me. I know it's only a voluntary thing but it is an International Club and I will have to mail some things out to the corporate headquarters. So it is important for the club. So pray that I do all right. Then again I can always ask help from the previous Secretary too but it's still something so new to me. It's like starting a new job even though I am not getting paid for it LOL.

Today we didn't do much. We went to church and then came home. We have been out and about lately so it was nice not to have to run any where or be any where. Like I said tomorrow is the MOMS Club® meeting. Tuesday is laundry day at the Laundromat. Wednesday no plans as of yet anyway. Thursday the third is Freedom Festival at our church. They are even going to have firework displays. We are helping out on watching one of the Moonwalks for an hour. It should be fun. We invited one of Harlow's brothers (one we haven't seen in forever) to come so hopefully he and his girlfriend and children do come. The other ones are invited too of course but we had to offer to this particular brother because we rarely see them. Friday is not only the 4th of July but also Harlow's and mine 10 year Wedding Anniversary. Don't really have any plans though because we are tight on money now. To be honest I would just love to stay at home and just spend some time with him. I am not too picky LOL. We will see how that goes. So that is my week in advance. Hope everyone else has a great week!!!

Been busy these last two day's. Yesterday was a MOMS Club meeting. We are going to go into another election. I am thinking of running as Secretary but not sure just yet. My one friend said she would nominate me LOL. Don't know if I need more to do or what LOL. I guess I just like to keep busy. After the meeting we came home and had lunch and I ran to the Library to pick-up a few books and came home. The rest of the was picking-up house some and then getting clothes all sorted for laundry day.

Today was laundry day so it was off to the Laundromat. The boy's did their school work there. One elderly lady there noticed I was a homeschooling mom and she asked if I schooled them all day and I said not really because they finish in less time than traditional schools. She didn't seem to impressed LOL. Oh well I know what my children know and how well they are doing. I really don't need anyones approval. All though two other older women (not elderly just older) were asking me questions about it and were very supportive of homeschooling. So I guess that made up for it. Besides I really don't get bad comments about it and I have learned even if I do not to worry about it because they don't know what homeschooling is really about and how well my children are doing.

Tomorrow I don't have any plans. Not sure if we are doing anything Thursday either but that really depends on how board Harlow gets being home LOL. He is not liking having no job. He would never make a good couch potato LOL. He is looking into going to school because a program that his job had gotten approved for will pay for schooling for in demand jobs. He's not sure exactly what he wants to get into but he's looking into things. I know God will get us through this difficult time though.

Friday we are going to my bil and sil's house for dinner but before that I am going to be babysitting my niece. I haven't seen her in a while so it will be nice. She will be two years old on April 11! I can't believe how fast that went!

So I have a surprise, surprise I have a busy week LOL. At least I feel so much better though then I have in a week! I don't know exactly what it was but it sure took me down. After going all winter without getting sick I get sick badly ugh! I hope everyone has a great week!!

Warning Just Me Rambling LOL.

Ok I know I haven't blogged in a bit sorry about that LOL. I won't go on to then next part of about me just yet though. Maybe tomorrow. This week will just be once again crazy busy so I might not even get to it till next week who knows.

Yesterday, I took Chord with me to another homeschool mom's house and let the kids play together. Jarod didn't want to go because they have a dog (the most friendly dog in the world LOL) and he is afraid of dogs. I have tried everything to get him not so afraid but he still insist on being afraid of them LOL. I know it has a lot to do with because we rent and not allowed to have any pets. Therefore they aren't around animals much besides the barn cats around here. Yes we live near a farm but it's our Landlords and we really don't go over there.

The landlords have Sheep mostly and a horse and donkey and the barn cats. The barn cats always come over but that's about it. Other than that they really don't get around animals much. Most of our friends and family do not have dogs either so it's hard to try and get him not so afraid. Chord used to be afraid but does a lot better now. He even pet the dog when we went over.

Chord had so much fun playing with his friend. They got to go outside and play and come inside and have hot chocolate and play Lego's LOL. That's Chord's favorite thing right now, Lego's. I got to enjoy company with my friend too. She just got back from a trip to her home state so it was nice to chat. She is about the only other homeschool mom I know well so it's nice to chat with someone who is doing the same thing I am.

Afterwards while coming home Chord said he had a blast! Jarod had stayed home with his dad so I think he liked the one on one time with Harlow too. So all in all it was a good day.

Today we did a lot of running. First to the Laundromat to do the dreaded laundry LOL (I actually don't mind doing laundry it's the putting away laundry I hate so much LOL). Then we came home and we had to go to the Library and drop off some books and pick up some others. Then we went to the Mall where I got my hair cut and then when out to eat. We didn't really get to enjoy being home till sometime after 5 am. I then ran to the local store and got me some hair dye to dye my hair (sorry no pics at the moment LOL.) It's still roughly the same color as my natural hair color but to me my natural hair was looking a little dull. So I had to do it LOL.

I can never leave my hair alone. I am always either cutting it short or dying it or like in this case both. I don't know why I feel the need to do this but I do. Most women I know get attached to their hair but I really don't. I get sick of it and just have to do something to it LOL. Come to think of it I am like that with a lot of things. Like living in one place for so long I seem to get board of it. It's probably because I was an army brat growing up and it's just what I have always been used to. Of course I know we can't always move when I feel the urge but I do think about it LOL.

I also really don't get attached to things either. People have asked me if there was something I would I couldn't live without and honestly I can't think of anything other than my Bible of course. I think this has a lot to do with when I was younger and having had a strained relationship with my dad. He would buy me things rather than spend time with me or talk with me. So things I have never really coveted.

I don't really get attached to people either. I love my family of course and they I naturally attach to but with other people. Yes I have friends but if I we moved to another state it wouldn't bother me. For a moment I would feel a little sad for leaving some of my friends but I know I would bounce back. Am I weird or does anyone else feel like this?

Today was laundry day but today hubby went with us (well drove us) because he wasn't sure about how the roads were. They weren't too bad but it was nice to have him around. After the boy's had finished their school work there hubby took them with him to go to Big Lots to pick up a few things. They love hanging out with Dad LOL.

On our way home the roads were a little more snow covered than it was on the way there. I probably could have drove in it but it was nice having him there with us and he helped with school work while I was dealing with laundry LOL.

After we got home I played a card game (5 state rummy) with Chord because he wanted to play a game with me. I won one hand and he won the next LOL. It was a good time. Jarod was off doing his own thing. Sometimes he likes to be on his own which is a good thing. I am glad neither of my kids always need someone to entertain them. They both sometimes just like being on their own. They love playing with each other of course but sometimes they like their own time.

I had the boy's sign their Valentines Day cards for tomorrow's party. Hubby is dropping us off at a friend of mines (a homeschool mom like me) and we are all going to a homeschool Valentines Day party. The boy's are excited to see their friend. It should be fun.

Other than that not much going on today. Which can be a good thing LOL. You think I am a busy person you should see my friend (the one mentioned above) she is busier than I ever could be LOL. She likes it that way though. I on the other hand need a day or two break between everything LOL. Hope everyone had a good day.

Well, today we didn't go any where which is a good thing I think. I need a day or two during the week to just chill. Today I have felt a little agitated though. I don't know if it's hormonal or what. I just feel agitated. I know this will pass. I really do think it's hormonal though. Ever have those days?

Other than feeling agitated it was an ok day. I took lesson's with the boys a little easier so I wouldn't be agitated with them. But all in all it went well. Boy's are doing really well!!

Tomorrow is laundry day so we will go to the Laundromat and do our schooling there. Then I have to go to the Library to pick up some books for Create and Play on Thursday. I was supposed to go today but hubby had to do a few things and I forgot about it so I will have to do that tomorrow.

Thursday is Create and Play with MOMS Club and then Friday and the weekend are free. We shall see what we do then though. Never know what we are going to do on the weekend till it comes.

Not a very interesting day today but sometimes that is a good thing for me LOL. On a good note I haven't been overloading myself with things to do. I might have something planned for each week but I have it written down and scheduled so as not to over do myself. So my agitated mood today isn't because I am over doing it LOL. I just drank some drank some Celestial Seasonings Decaf Honey Chamomile, Green Tea and that made me feel more relaxed and at easy. So I do feel better now. I might go to bed earlier too that might help too. I hope everyone had a good day!!

Man it's been so cold here. I am so looking forward to spring/summer LOL. I just don't do well with cold weather and yet I live here in Michigan. Well at least we don't live in Alaska I guess LOL. I think I might have moved away to a warmer state if I hadn't gotten married to a man that loves the cold LOL. Oh well I guess I will keep the hubby though LOL. He did after all help produce our handsome little men ! :P.

Today we did school work but we did it a little later than usual. We didn't start school work till after lunch which is pretty out of schedule for us but I had to run a few errands and do a few things before we started. It went smoother than I thought it would. Usually if we wait till later in the day to do school work then the boy's get cranky and don't want to do their work but today they did really well. Tomorrow will be back on schedule though.

The water emergency was over in the mid morning so tomorrow I will be able to go to the Laundromat to do the never ending laundry. I just don't know how four people can make so much laundry LOL. It's not like all of us change our clothes every few hours so where does this laundry come from? Does it hide out till it's laundry day and then just show up in the laundry basket or what LOL. Oh well it will get done. Besides laundry isn't the chore I hate the most. The one I really don't like doing is dishes for some reason LOL. What's the chore you hate doing the most?

Yesterday the boy's asked for today off after my mom had said she was off work for Martin Luther King Jr Day. So I decided to go ahead and let them have the day off. I did tell them a little bit about Martin Luther King Jr. Next month we will do more on him and other's for Black History Month. I want them to know more than just about the more famous Black American people. So much happened both before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and after. I don't want them to know bits and pieces I want them to know as much as they can learn about many different people of many different races. That is yet another reason I love homeschooling the boy's. We can take the time to really learn about any given subject and get the most out of it and not worrying about getting to the next lesson or running out of time. I pray they will not only learn but love learning about new things no matter what the subject is.

Tomorrow was supposed to be Laundry day but there is a water emergency for the areas near here because of the cold weather the water is freezing. I could go to the town close by but it's so much more expensive to go there and I really don't like their machines. So hopefully I will be able to go to our normal place on Wednesday or if not I will have to just make it to that other town and hope for the best LOL. I hope everyone is staying warm!!
