well, i just whipped up a $60 order for HomeschoolEstore! (they are linked on my sidebar) since hubbyman was home yesterday, i got to revamp my paperwork, and make a tenetative school schedule for next week...and he wants us to start American History. So I perused the available units and came up with a mess of them!

in no particular order i found:

Columbus, which is good since that's where hubbyman wants us to start 

Native Americans

Patriotic Holidays by Amanda Bennett

12 American History studies in one, includes all sorts of neat people like Columbus, Sacajawea, Pocahontas, etc

Blackline Maps of American History

and a few others, including a neat freebie of the "Kinestetic Alphabet"

so things are getting back to the new normal here. I still feel at least 6 times a day like i'm forgetting something...and when i realize it's that i need to call Mom to tell her xyz, then i get a bit sad  It's been that way since the day after she passed....My uncle sent me the poem "My First Christmas in heaven" but I'm sorry to say I won't be reading it yet...I have seen it, and it made me cry THEN...i don't want to lose it right now  as I think i did enough of that for the past 6 months she has been so ill.

so i'm watching 2 Apple computers on Ebay today...Mom left me a wee little bit of money and i'd love to get a new computer. We'll see what happens with that

and it's official! the title of the last Potter novel will be "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"! It's already the top pre-seller in Amazon history! I can't wait for John Granger to update his webpage so we can chat it up about the "hidden meanings"! I'm sure that this book will be out over the summer, as she hasn't ever released a title before the book was at least in the editing phase....WHOOOOOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

that's all the news from this corner of cyberspace...hopefully next update will be typed up on a nice Mac
