Weekly Review: Week 5
Kinda late on this one. Another week has flown by! Can you tell he is excited about our upcoming Japanese Festival trip? Math was really good this week. He checked his work consistently and was able to catch the few little mistakes he did make. Seems like the Mathscore.com website has helped. He can’t wait [...]

Oh Cool!
Maybe in a few years, when we do Astronomy again (maybe sooner), I’d love to do this: Nasa’s RadioJove Project. We now return to our regularly scheduled subject… ummm… wherewerewe?

So much for that
Yesterday was my appointment with an allergist. I waited for over an hour before I (overheard) that said Doc was STILL an hour behind. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! It certainly would have been nice to know that when I first arrived. Apparently this is a “normal” wait time. Gimme back my copay and no, I don’t want to [...]

Nature Study perhaps
I really need to carry a camera with me EVERYWHERE! Then I would have a picture to show you. I’ll have to make do with words… Today while walking the dog we passed an acacia-like hedge with yellow flowers all over. From this hedge came a beautiful sound… bees. Lots and lots of honey bees. [...]

Weekly Review: Week 4
We’re a month into the school year already. I can hardly believe how fast time is flying. This week was very much a week of fun with friends. Not that we don’t see our friends weekly, just this week we saw more of them and did more activities with them. Seems like these things come [...]

4+2=1
4 miles run this morning plus two hours in the sun this afternoon equals one tired momma tonight! But it was all good. Both Sam and Jessie had some great play time with their friends. Now if only a Guinness would magically appear…

Weekly Review: Week 3
Another week has wizzed by! Math: A really strong week. Monday started out a bit iffy (seems to be a trend there) but by Friday he’d completed the current topic and finished another! He went up a “rank” too. MathScore.com uses military like “ranks” as you go up in points/topics/skills. Science: Remembered to do a [...]

Jot it down: Look Ma!
a bivalve. This gem actually happened a week or two ago on the way back from the vet. It impressed me so much that I had to recreate it for the blog. At the time, I had to genuinely laugh because one: it was so surprised and two: it was so unexpected. I mean, “bivalve?” [...]

Second Thoughts and whinges
I can’t do it. I’m going off wheat again today. I can’t keep this up until the 19th. I’m tired of feeling like crap…. fatigued, itchy, headachy and my stomach constantly hurts and is bloated. I can’t get up in the morning to run and I’m too tired by the evening to run then. What’s [...]

Weekly Review: Week 2
This week started off and ended rather relaxed. With Monday’s rain our outdoor activities were canceled so we just relaxed during those times and moved to the next subject as originally scheduled. Even during the rest of the week, if he finished a subject ahead of schedule, he had that as free time until the [...]
