Well, it'd be a silly thing to say a lot has happened since my last posting . . .  Busy, busy, busy!  I wish I could say that it was all great and mighty things in the academic realm, but we're still trying to get our feet under us, even after these past months.  Trying to keep a home, homeschool, and operate a small home business . . .   It's been overwhelming, to say the least, even with the help of a very supportive husband.

We're not giving up, though.  Granted, we will be schooling through the summer in an effort to "catch up," but I think we'll be okay.  And I am making a concerted effort to improve my time management and planning skills.  I've also explained to my sweet pumpkin that, as old as she is, some of the responsibility rests with her and that we have to help each other out -- she's too old to sit and wait to be instructed on every little detail.  There ARE things that she can do independently and without being told.

She has expressed an interest in having a blog.  I can see where it could be beneficial creatively, and also of good use with regards to writing and grammar skills.  The Internet is a scary place, though!  All her activity is supervised, of course.  Do you think www.homeschoolblogger.com is suitable for kids who want blogs?  Do any of you have children with blogs?  My kiddo is 10 years old.  I'd love to hear your opinions.

Until next time (and I promise it will be sooner than later . . . )!
