I tried to get an picture of me put up for my avatar but I'm frustrated with it so I will wait and work with it more, but that may be a while. I did manage to figure out how to let you look at my library catalog on Library Thing. The links are on the right-hand side, at the bottom of the info there.
The first link is for what we are doing for read-alouds and what books I have assigned them to read and narrate for us. The second is books that I either am reading or have enjoyed and wanted to recommened. The final link is to a catalog I made of Christmas books I like or am reading, as I am still trying to finish up one book that I got out of our local library. (If any you decide to try out Library Thing and want to share your catalog, you create the link button in the TOOLS section.)
If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you may also have noticed that I changed the ticker for when my sister will have her baby. Yes, it has changed from blue to pink! She will be having another girl, which is probably a very good thing since she already has one girl. There are some people that I know that have one boy and one girl and it seems as if they have two only children. So, this way they should play together well. They will be about 2½ years apart. They have decided to combine both her name (Tracie) and her husband's name (Mike) and name her Macie. It is growing on me...Macie Brooke.
Well, I've fiddled around enough. I need to get busy and work on a Bible Study and do some editing. One of my goals for the year is to stop procrastinating but evidently, I'm procrastinating on starting that one. In my defense, I had this weird pain in my shoulder and back and occasionally across my chest for over a week now. But I'm done bowing to it...I've got work to do! Of course, tonight is the Green Bay Packer Division Game...OK, it is really the NFC Division Game but the Pack made it! Whoo Hooo! So, I bet I'm watching the game a lot, unless, it doesn't look good for my team.
I better run, it's kick-off! Have a good night!

PS. Well, I did try one more time, to get the avatar to work, and I did it! Well, not exactly just me; I had the help of the Shrink Pictures website. The first pic I put in didn't turn out good enough. So I tried again and resized a picture of my dd Tiffany and I on vacation. We climbed up on this low branch on the Twin Peaks trail at Greyson Highlands State Park in Virginia. I think it turned out pretty good. I hope you like it.
(Me and my dd, Tiffany on an easy to climb tree limb on vacation in VA in 2007.) These are my ramblings on homeschooling and whatever else comes to mind.
Counting Down
The Holidays are over and I'm not quite ready to start a new count down yet. Maybe I should start a counting up the number of days I've stayed on my "diet".
