I haven't posted in a while...mainly because I am at a stand still in the homeschooling department. I am currently waiting on all our curriculum to arrive, and waiting for our homeschool room to get finished. We have a start, but limited time to work on it, so hopefully our space will be done by September. I am anxiously awaiting our orders to come in so I can look over all the curriculum and hopefully start making some plans with it. I have a daily and weekly schedule done, with the enrollment in tumbling classes and a library day worked into our weekly schedule. The waiting is difficult. I want to be busy, but my hands are tied with this stuff.
I got to see some great close friend of ours this past weekend, so that was a welcome break! We always have so much fun with them and our children enjoy each other. Unfortunately, they are a military family, so the prospect of them living nearby is only a far in the future thing. She will homeschool also, so we really would enjoy having them nearby, but it is not God's plan right now.
I have enjoyed looking at all the homeschool open house entries. I haven't been able to comment on all of them, because I have a dial-up connection and getting from page to page is hard enough without going to the comment box every time. I have learned lots of things and gotten lots of ideas for organization. Anyway....hopefully I will have my before and after pictures of the classroom up in the next couple of weeks. I look forward to sharing it.
Talk to you later!

Aug. 19, 2007 - Hello
On the curriculum front - I hate waiting! It seems like the week between ordering and receiving takes forever. I was going to order my son's math online but then found out that the vendor would be at the convention (we live in Texas and the THSC just had their convention this weekend). Sooooo we drove 2 hours to the convention and I was so excited because that was the only subject that I still needed to buy - and we found the vendor's booth - and guess what? They were just set up to demonstrate and take orders but not to sell the actual sets, right then and there. Needless to say - I was greatly disappointed!
So - I will be ordering and waiting this week too!
God bless you and your home and school. Have a great year!
