Home School in the Woods..... A day in the life of a Pakrat...
Mar. 26, 2006
I'm FINALLY on the bandwagon...

After several months of pulling up this website and attempting to get a blog started, I finally had the time to get the whole shabang completed! I am SO looking forward to being a part of this community and sharing our tidbits, anecdotes, gems, prayers, and thoughts with the many homeschool moms and dads out there!

 

We are a family of six: Ed, myself, and four pakrats ranging from 3rd grade to 12th grade (we're graduating our first this spring! Hallelujah!) and yes, our homeschool is in the woods.  "Home School in the Woods" is the name of our family business:

where we offer HISTORY Through the Ages Historical Timeline Figures and other timeline materials and SOON, Time Traveler Unit Studies on CD! But, I'll get to that in another blog.

 

At this point, I will take my leave, as I'm beginning to feel warm and my scratchy throat needs to get some tea. Our family has had a whirlwind of a virus pass through this past week--a nasty one that lasts about five days with high temps (topping out as high as 104.7!), scratchy throats, aching muscles and joints, days of sleep, tight chests, a dry cough, headaches, and running noses, and has had us at the doctors more times than I want to say. I think our visits alone covered the doctors salary this week. Our 10 year old wound up in the hospital yesterday as his chest got so tight from the coughing that he was gasping for air; much like an asthmatic attack. After two nebulizer treatments, rest, and medication, he was asking if they had a cafeteria. Hmmm...asking for hospital food...he was either better or delirious.

 

I'd better go take care of my symptoms, for as we all know, "Moms are not allowed to get sick." It's just a fact.   ;-)

Hi Amy! Don't know if you remember me but I'm Pastor Barry's daughter! Just noticed on the main page that you were a new sign up! I started a blog a few days ago, though my children aren't quite to homeschooling age yet. Have heard from others that your products are just GORGEOUS! Hope you feel better SOON! Stefanie :)
