Whew...it has been five days since I have blogged or even logged onto this site. I don't know when that's ever happened in the last year or so. I was sick. Again. Whoa Nelly, was I sick. I mentioned that Harrison had a stomach virus last week. Well, early Saturday morning I was hit....hard. I don't think I have ever not been to church on Easter Sunday, but there was absolutely no way I could go, and my loving family stayed home with me. Despite my illness, the Easter Bunny risked a stop at our germ-infested house...
We also, for the first time ever, did not dye eggs, but the kids didn't seem to mind. I told them maybe we could do it this weekend. We'll see... During the time we would have been in our church service, we watched this as family...
And please don't send me e-mails about how my children shouldn't see rated-R movies at their ages. I'm in a delicate condition, and I can't handle that right now. Plus, this is one R-rated movie I think mine should see. Actually, they did fine with it, and we had a good discussion afterward. Later, when I was a little less woozy, Indiana Mimi joined us for a little drive. We went to the outskirts of Nashville, to see this...
It's a little smaller than someone told us, but it was still beautiful. They are all live flowers, by the way. I'm truly sorry I haven't been by to visit you all. That probably isn't happening today either, as I'm trying to do some school planning and get my house back into order. I will be gradually making my rounds by the end of the week. I plan on posting a "Peek into our Week," which is actually more like a peek into our month, in the next couple of days. In the meantime, I thought I'd entertain you with this photo of Harrison at the tail end of his illness. He had asked for some hot tea, so I made him some, and was doing some errands. When I came through the dining area about 15 minutes later, this is what I found...
Poor, poor, pitiful kid. Oh yeah...and I almost forgot. I'm entering this contest... Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian. This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.
To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/ and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it. And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it. And good luck! The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg. And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win. Yay for free stuff! |
