Posted in Children's Work
For week 25, A's assignment was to write a self description.  Here is what she wrote:

I walk away when I am angry.  I share things like my doll and my teddy bear.  Sometimes my teeth shine.  They're pretty.  I'm pretty.  My hair is pretty. 

She will be repeating this LA next year for the most part, so I'd love to see what she writes next year.  LOL

Here is mine:

I am a Christian homeschooling stay at home mom.  I trained for 11 years in the medical field and became a family doctor, but I decided that I prefered to stay at home.  I have a wonderful husband and we have been married for nearly 13 years now.  My hobbies are cooking, reading, swimming, aerobic walking, and playing around with the computer.  I also love to travel.  I aspire to learn many different languages.  I have 4 wonderful children who are true blessings.  God has been very good to me.

K. had to write a "cause and effect" paragraph:

Nobody knew.  Nobody knew how it started.  But what they did know is that the stock market crashed.  That was the cause.  The cause of one of the most terrifying times in history.  People went hungry and lost their jobs.  Men rode the rails.  People's houses and stores got taken away from them and nobody knew what to do.  It was the domino effect that did it.  One stock market crashed and people lost their jobs, then these people could not afford what they used to so more people lost their jobs, and so on and so on.  Then people saw that the money that was being lost and began to hang on to their money and there went more jobs.  Where would it end?  Fortunately, it ended when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected in 1932, and it didn't really end then, but FDR helped some , and he also established insurance and other things to prevent a depression again.  Slowly but surely, the effect of the stock market crash lessened and the country stood itself back up. 

Well, mine wasn't as elaborate.

I ate some buckwheat pancakes once.  It was my first time trying out buckwheat.  Immediately after putting in my first mouthful, my tongue and lips and palate began to burn and get numb.  I spat out the mouthful and said, "oh no, I must be allergic to buckwheat."  I did not swallow this stuff.  But soon after, my eyes began watering, my nose began running, and I was breathing very fast.  I began to break out in hives around my mouth and face.  The numbness and burning feeling in my mouth continued.  Thank God I was able to breathe!  I laid down, too cool to take Benadryl, and after a few hours, I was better.

The introduction of buckwheat in my mouth set off an intense allergic reaction, since my body must not like buckwheat and was fighting it.  Histamines were released to fight the offending allergen, and the histamine thus caused the watery eyes, runny nose, hives, numbness, burning, etc.  Had I had a stronger reaction, I might have had my throat close!  Indeed, the next time I ingest buckwheat, this may happen!

Oh...and I don't know what I was thinking.  I will definitely take Benadryl or any fast acting anti-histamine the next time, unless I have an epi-pen!

Okey dokey, that was it for this week!!

Blessings,
A.H.

You Are a Mac
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg.
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris. You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe.
What Your Pizza Reveals
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US. Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you. You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices. You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris. The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average.
