...Cough...Happy New Year!!..cough, cough...

Well, not quiet the way I expected this new year to begin. I've been laying in bed for the past few days. Turns out I have influenza A and I have bronchitis. Ugh. I am feeling much better. Praise God! It's been a rough few days. The kids are so great though. Superkid has been a big helper with my very active two year old. My little bear loves to make cards, so I got a few of those and a crown to wear from her. Lol! :o) My sweet husband had to miss some work taking care of me too. He's the VERY best, I'm tellin' you.

School has been math mostly and Christmas presents the kids got, like the drawing book, the robots that have been put together, the piano they are all learning. It was so cute, I overheard little bear talking to Big D the other day and she was showing him how to make an F chord and trying to teach him how to play. Considering she doesn't really quite know how to play...it was really cute!

I'm just thanking God for christmas gifts that I can consider "school" time stuff, you know?

Anyway, I have so much to say.
I just need to find a few minutes.

So, we'll, uh, catch up later, mmm kay?
In the meantime, I'm drinking me some tea and going back to bed!

{...Deep Sigh...} I feel VERY refreshed!

I am so thanking God for these past few weeks. I could not have done SOW along side everything that has been going on. I feel so good too, knowing that I have been actually accomplishing some things on the side. Misc. projects, some school related, some not.

One of which is my "new" school area. Actually, it's not new at all. I just got a new bulletin board & my sweet husband painted the whiteboard and calendar black to match. Everything looks so nice! We have a new schedule in place. Well, actually that's not really new either, just more refined. ;o) Speaking of which, I highly recommend the Managers books! I wasn't sure if I really needed to buy the scheduling book, since we've sort of had a loose one in place. But, I learned a few things along the way. Like, duh, my home revolves around the littlest one! So, he should be in the schedule. It feels really good rotating our life around him, actually. I now know that he is doing something productive, instead of rolling the toilet paper down the hall, putting lotion on our bathroom handles, sitting bare naked on our stove-top, or any of the other things that he's been doing this week. Hmmm...maybe the schedule won't solve all of our problems, but hey, I think it helps a little. And, yes, I was serious about all of those!

ANYway...

Back to school. Oooh, I can't wait to get back to SOW! We've been doing light stuff, as I've been working on those various projects. Got the rest of SOW in the mail, years II-VI, and I'm so excited to get it all organized. I've gotten the first four weeks planned out. It will be so nice to just have everything all ready, all we have to do is learn!

Let's see, still waiting on the math to come. Maybe tomorrow?

Said all of this to say, we'll be starting back on Monday.

And, I am READY to go!!
See you then!
