Back Yard Academy

• Nov. 20, 2006 - First Day of Break



So today was our first day of Thanksgiving Break.  We still went to band practice and guitar practice because it's Monday,, you know.  Tristen learned how to play "Smoke on the Water" today at guitar lessons.  He thinks he's "the stuff" for sure.  His teacher is very patient and Tristen loves him.  He comes out to get him every Monday and says "are you psyched?!"  Tristen is indeed "psyched".  Not my child in the above picture btw.  Just a cute picture.

During practices I knitted.  Anyone who knows me, knows I knit.  I knit because I like it but I also knit because I can't hear.  If I ignore people while I'm knitting they just think I'm engrossed.  If I'm not knitting, I'm trying to listen to conversation and I always fail miserably and have to say "what", "excuse me", "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you" about a gagillion times.  It's annoying for others, and annoying for me.  So I knit.  I have moderate hearing loss in my left ear and severe loss in my right.  I have a genetic disorder which causes the cilia inside my ear canal to die.  It's some kind of autoimmune inner ear disease.  "Non- specified" my Audiologist says.Yeah, I don't know what that means, I just know I need one of those cones that old people used to put in their ear to hear.  "EHHH?"  "WHAT'S THAT SONNY?"



So I made some turkey discloths to give away on Thanksgiving.  It's hard to see the turkey in the picture.  It's better in real life.  It also looks kinda velvety, it's not,, it's kitchen cotten.


So that's Monday.  Nothing much going on here.  Just Monday stuff.

What Type of Homeschooler Are You?

Salvador Dali Melting clocks are not a problem in your reality. You are an unschooler. You will tolerate a textbook, but only as a last resort. Mud is your friend. You prefer hands-on everything. If your school had an anthem, it would be Dont Worry, Be Happy. Visit my blog: http://www.GuiltFreeHomeschooling.blogspot.com
