How lucky am I that I have a sister who homeschools. My sister has five (so far) beautiful children that she homeschools and she has just started her own blog here.Here she is if you want to stop and say "hi"; Samantha . There is not a whole lot going on here this week. Everybody seems to be well... I should probably not say that too loud. I received Locksley's SOS last week and tried in vain to get it installed only to have Christian call AOP and find out that we can't install it because it was apparently illegal for the person to sell it to us on Ebay! So, we can pay AOP $150 to get the updates or I can email the guy who sold it to us and try and get our money back. I am so frustrated! I had planned on getting her started this week. That's what I get for planning, I guess. So, instead we are working a bit on teaching her stuff in the kitchen. She has made breakfast everyday this week. She made muffins and tea for two days and made french toast yesterday. I think I will have her make scrambled eggs today. I, also, taught Ruby to start bread in the bread maker yesterday. I will have her do another loaf today. They have also been helping me around the house, but with the wrap I am feeling so much more capable of getting things done. I, also, want Locksley to finish reading some of the books that she started. And today, we are heading to The Chattanooga Nature Center. Last time that we were there the animal section was closed off because the wolves were mating, so I am hoping that we will get to see the animals this time. The girls were so disappointed last time that we couldn't see them. Christian put in his application for Northwestern Technical college today. This is something that he has talked about doing for a long time, so I am glad that he has finally made the step. I would love to take a class this fall myself. I would like to take some English classes and some Human Anatomy and Physiology classes. But, I also don't want to get my plate too full. I have signed up for a doula workshop in July. I am very excited about it and a bit nervous, but the excitement totally outweighs the nervousness.I will be able to take Esther with me and do the training with her strapped to me. There is going to be some special emphasis on working with teenage mothers because this birthing center is getting a grant to pair up teenage mothers with doulas for their pregnancy and birth. I have always had the notion that if I ever pursued a certification as doula I would like to volunteer free doula services to the local pregnancy crisis centers. So this would be great training and preparation for that. Well, Esther is awake and Locksley is getting Ruby and Isabel out of the bath (isn't she a great mother's helper!), so I better get off the computer and start getting ready for the day. |
