Feb. 12, 2009 - Time To Catch Up!!
I haven't blogged in about 2 months! My, oh, my how the time has flown by! Let's just see if I can stretch my brain to remember even half of what has kept me away from my precious computer 
* Christmas and all of the fun surrounding it. We had our two week break, using half of it to travel back to Michigan to visit family.
*The day after we return, the computer goes BOOM. Insert hysterical crying now!
*Two weeks after the big Boom, the Geek Squad breaks the news that our computer is dead. Purchase a new computer. I'm still trying to get programs loaded on it. This has left me behind in a few important things, those will be mentioned briefly below.
*Catch up on a few hundred emails. That's no lie.
*Catch up on a whole bunch of nametags for the church nursery.
*Have worst ice storm this area has ever seen.....and 6 1/2 inches of snow on top of it, something not normally seen around here.
*Prepare and deliver a homeschool talk to church members. My first foray into public speaking 
. It went well, and I'm already being asked to do it again.
*Struggle to "plan" a Valentine's Day party for the elementary kids in my homeschool group, although I'm not the one planning it, I'm not even planning on attending. How come the only thing I'm not in charge of this schoolyear suddenly becomes something I'm in charge of?
*Plan a Walk Through History event for the kids in my homeschool group. I thought I had one person helping me, she's now going to be on the other side of the country that day. I'm all alone, again.
*Since the computer died while we were on Christmas break, I fall terribly behind in getting things prepared for school (looking up books, printing extra practice sheets, printing pictures for presidents cards, etc.). I'm hoping to get caught up on that next week during our February break.
*Weekly speech therapy appointments. Oh yeah, and on the way to one we found out that a barge had hit one of the bridges. That caused our regular 30 minute drive to take 2 solid hours!
*Weaved thru all of this, discovering some things about my precious children that I am really wishing wasn't happening. More on that during our school update. Hopefully I'll get that posted in a couple of days.
Well, that's what I can think of off the top of my head. It seems as if there has been so much more than this. I know there has been a little more, but I'll cover that in our school update. I'm tired and very, very ready for our break next week. We're going to spend a day at our favorite aquarium, and we'll have a day where some new friends from church come over to play. I'm ready to make big progress on my To Do list and not have school work to do everyday on top of everything!
