THURSDAY'S THOUGHTS

Jun. 5, 2008 - Tonight---some choices...hmmm
Posted in schooling

Well, I can choose to work on DVD covers for K5, or to commit some old tapes to itunes so that they can be repacked up and sent to the floor of my closet! ahhh...sigh... maybe I'll just go get a soda from the pantry and get started on the tapes as they are cluttering up our office!

I am excitedly awaiting my dvd's that I ordered. Blank ones that I can burn my self made movies onto!! They are already sitting ready to burn!! I just have to sit and wait!!

So, here are my weekly categories in addition to a tag which I will do first and then tag someone with it! Looking forward to seeing the results!

I will do the tag first and then those of you who want to read on, can...

If you had to choose 5 foods on which to survive the remaining years of your life, what would they be? Answer as if because you can only choose 5, there would be no consequences of bad choices!!!  No weight gain and cost is not a factor--what if they were free?? Oh and there is no limit on drinks-- you can have whatever you want at the time to wash it down...so just mention the solid foods!
 Mine are:
1)Little Smokies appetizer sausages
2)Mrs. Field's Peanut butter dream bars
3)grilled zuchinni and yellow squash
4)sample platters of "chick food" tea sandwiches, etc...
5)popcorn chicken from KFC


Quips From My Quiver
 
" I am pretending that I am Laura (Ingalls Wilder) when I was 7 and Isaiah is Almanzo when he was 2!"--Faith.
Also from Faith: "What would happen if we didn't have tongues?"
 Isaiah is also catching the "tending" bug--he constantly pretends that he is going to a friends house and comes up to me and says " hugs and kisses before I go!" OOOOhhhhh..... I hope he does that when he's 12!! He is my Mr. Snuggly! Elijah was actually snuggly tonight, but that's only because he's miserable with teething!


Homeschool Happens

    Been watching the orientation broadcasts for K5 and I am jumping at the bit! I am sooo excited to start. Pat wants them to have traditional summer breaks in the early grades, so I am holding back!! We haven't even purchased the Reading/Language arts/Heritage Studies stuff yet and I am not ready logistically either, but I am still excited!

Personal Bible Reading: 
  Last night, Pat was already asleep, so I didn't do my "next" psalm--I just read one that one completely out of sequence and this is what it was:
PSALM 143:8
    Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in You."
 
I just love this one. I have it circled, but it wasn't last night that I circled it--just proof that God brings me back to this constantly!!


My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
    Taken from May 14th -The Habit of Enjoying the Disagreeable-
(2 Cor. 4:10)
Oh, yikes! This one hits it where it hurts, but ohhh sooo true and it was such a new way of looking at why He saves us.
"We have to form habits to express what God's grace has done in us. It is not a question of being saved from Hell, but of being saved in order to manifest the life of the Son of God in our mortal flesh, and it is the disagreeable things which make us exhibit whether or not we are manifesting His life." 
( um ugh... where is my rock that I may climb under it??)

Sorry, no pics tonight! Maybe next week!

Jun. 6, 2008 - TAG MEME: 5 Foods to Survive On
Posted by heatherslittlehearts
Hey Jen...

My Answer:

1. Fruit Salad w/cantaloupe, apples, oranges, raspberries, bananas, blueberries, blackberries, pineapple & Shredded coconut
2. Beef & Bean Burritos with cheese
3. Cadbury or Dove Chocolate bars (or chocolate covered coffee beans)
4. Cheese (mild cheddar or mozzarella)
5. Gourmet Salad Mix (baby greens)


These are some of my favorite foods, and even though weight gain isn't an issue here, I still will opt to eat healthy foods that will give me large amounts of energy. I could eat bean burritos every day, seriously! They are my ultimate favorite food...even when pregnant. I also LOVE fruit, so fruit salad had to be my choice...chocolate, of course, has to be on my list, then cheese with salad...I'm not a salad dressing lover, but I love cheese & lettuce. I can eat these foods any time of the day. So there you have it!

Come see me at http://runningtothecross.blogspot.com/ if you want to know what has been happening!

Blessings friend!

Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. :) I'll have to think about your tag and get back to you on it. LOL I'm claiming 1st trimester pregnancy brain mush. Besides, right now, NOTHING sounds good. :p

I saw you live in ID. I don't know if you read further on my blog about our trip to Boise. Nor do I know if you live anywhere near Boise. ;) However, we loved it there and would move in a heartbeat if DH could get a job there.

There is another lady I know from the curriculum we use, FIAR, who lives in Boise w/ kids similar in age to yours. If you're in that area, I can get the two of you in contact. I know she's always hoping to find some Christian Homeschooling friends close by. :)
