Husband took daughter out this morning. I think they got my birthday present from her. Cute. School is a little slow today, but that is alright. I know I have to practice testing my son. I just would like him to not get so discouraged when he doesn't get all the answers correct. He always gets to retest. Today, i made a peach crisp and sugar almonds. Also, we had some homemade meat balls that I put together, my daughter helped roll up, and my husband cooked. We are all quite a team. My son helped eat them.  My daughter didn't like them too much. Last night, she went with her friend to a craft/ game thing at a local church. She was pretty tired when she got home. My husband took her to the doctor yesterday. He said that she was fine, just had a cough. I sure would like that cough to go away, in Jesus name. Today we signed up for HSLDA. First time we ever have. Thought I would see how it works and pray that I never have to use it. Trying to find a good place to donate to. So far, Salvation Army seems to be the best spot. It is amazing how much money charity CEO's pay themselves. Our local Salvation Army only makes a little over $30,000 a year. We checked out charitys on BBB site. I was a bit livid this morning when I read some stuff on that site. God, please forgive us and help us be like Your Son, Jesus. In Jesus name. Have a great day. |

Well, I don't know if there is something wrong with this blog site or my computer. I can't view my blogs. GRRRR! Anyways, my hands have been sore today. I had a hard time combing my daughter's hair and snapping my fingers. I really hope that after I lose weight, my hands return to normal. It is scary and frustrating. My friend is taking me to lunch next Wednesday for my birthday. Fun. My daughter still has a cough. Ugh! My son tried out an Algrebra program on the computer. He liked it. So, I will let him do that twice a week along with his book. My husband is standing in for Bible Quizzers tonight. The coach and his family are adopting two children. So the mom and dad had to go pick them up. They will be back for the meet, however. I hope to do some more shopping and bill paying tomorrow after Homeschool PE. Have a great day. |

| My daughter is no longer feverish. But she has a cough. I think I will let her lay around one more day and fill her with more liquids. My husband and I had a little bit of a date. Okay, we paid some bills and went grocery shopping alone. But we did have a pizza and soda lunch without our children. That counts, doesn't it? The 180 day school year thing is a pain. I want to enjoy teaching and learning with my children, even the high school, not push deadlines. Oh well, there is a balance in practicing deadlines and test, and real learning. My 5 year old niece has been moved into a first grade reading class along with half day kindergarten. What a brain. She only has 5 other children in her class. If my brother and her wife won't homeschool, I pray they keep her in this private Christian school. Have a great day. |

• Nov. 16, 2009 - Monday... a Long, but Good Day.
Posted By Shannon H.
 
Today Logan's father had double knee replacement surgery.
After 3 years of putting it off, hardly being able to walk at times, and chronic pain, at over 60 years of age, he finally had it done.
It was quite an undertaking. We left for the hosptial before the sun came. We spent much of the day in the waiting room, to be there when he woke up.
We were thrilled when he arrived in the recovery room, safe, in good care, and with two brand-new knees!
It takes courage to sign up for something like that. I am so proud of him and so thankful that God kept him in His good care the entire time. The day was long, but we are full of greatfulness that he faired well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a blessed and Joyful day,
Shannon |

| Wow! 12 people visited my blog today. That was really neat to see. Today is the great big chore day. Everyone is working hard and with a cheerful attitude. We are taking a 30 minute break. So, that is why I'm blogging. I quit my Facebook. It was just too much. Plus, my friends played mostly the games instead of writing about their lives. That is why i enjoy my blog so much. There are so many people here. Something interesting is bound to be happen to one or more families. Plus, the blog gives you more room to write. Tonight we also have play practice. Later, I better go over my lines a couple times since we didn't have play practice last week. Have a great day. |

Homeschooling parents. We're a talkative lot. Put us together in one place and we can chatter on. I think this is because we spend so much time with kids we crave adult talk. Especially when those adults have an idea what we are going through and love homeschooling as much as we do. When you tell a homeschooler you are tired and burnt out, they never suggest putting the kids back in school. |
