"Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever." Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

I couldn't agree more with "politics are only a matter of present concern." If only I didn't have to ponder on them so much lately! Colorado primaries are approaching fast and I think I have finally, after months and months or seeking, have figured out as to whom will get my vote.

I won't bore you anymore with "political stuff" on this blog because its just a quick, temporary thing. As to who I will be voting for, well, that is between my ballot and I.

Now on to the fun stuff! Math! I like math and I enjoy teaching it to my children. From using a math curriculum (we use Math-U-See) to everyday living math. It really is amazing how often we use math on a daily basis in simple things, like laundry. Or how complex math can get when driving a car. I can't tell you how many times my children have asked what RPM and MPH are and how they work. I am so thankful that my children ask questions like that. It provides great learning and discussions in the car.

Anyway, I'm off to figure out how fast I need to clean my home before company comes over!

(If Dianna needs to clean the home before 6:00 pm tonight how many things can she pick up, throw away, dust, how many floors can she vacuum, how many dishes can she wash? Are there some chores she'll have to "put under the rug" due to time? Hmmmm) In reality, I think I can do them all in 6 hours even with taking a nap! This could lead to a chart... I've never timed myself on how long it takes me to do a chore. This could be an interesting project for the kids and I!
