I'm a teenage girl seeking my way through life. We all go through tough times and simple times. It is easier to share your problems with someone who wants to listen. We can all go through these times together with friends we have never met. I will be there for all of you and praying for each and every one. God Bless http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:22:00 -0500 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:22:00 -0500 This next entry I want to dedicate to my wonderful Dad. When someone asks what my Dad is like I say "He's a hard working man and he's soo much fun to hang around".  I am putting some pictures of my Dad. This is my Dad. He never smiles, he just has a silly face and its funny because I do it too.   Here's my Daddy and I  (Don't we look soo much alike?)   Come summer my dad works a lot of second jobs. He loves to do carpentry. Here's my dad working on our chimney.  He is happy because we have finally got rid of the fuel oil and we are putting in a coal burner. We have propane upstairs and now a coal burner to heat the house and a propane heat for a back up. So he has been hard at work doing this.  My Dad likes to go motorcycling and I love to go with him a lot.  Once I begged my Dad to take me, he finally said that I had to fold laundry before we would go and I did so we went. I love my dad so much. He is the only man that I love with all my heart.   ~Country Rose~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/570373/ Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:22:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/570373/ This is for CJ's mom.  She told me to do a blog on my schooling so here it goes. Today was my first day of school, yes its early for some and late for others. I am doing a mixture this year, instead of Weaver. I am in 9th grade this year and we have to grade me with tests. So for Math I am doing Math-U-See and today I did dividing a decimal by a decimal. Then for bible I am doing LifePacs.   In Language Arts I am doing Learning Language Arts Through Literature. History I am also doing LifePac and for Science I am doing Switch-on-School House. This year I also get to do a Foreign Language so I am doing Spanish which is also LifePac. I have always wanted to do Spanish ever since I can remember, so I finally get to do it. I am also doing an art class with my mom, Littlebro13 and Littlesis8. I am not the person who likes to draw but this is going OK. Then sometime in September I will be doing a photograhy course, which I can not wait to do. I just bought a camera off line and I love it. Its a Canon Powershot A340. So this year I was soo ready to start school. I have got all my camps done and am glad to be home and doing school. Well CJ's mom, there you go!!  Have a great day.   Country Rose http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/570369/ Tue, 5 Aug 2008 15:10:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/570369/ What a busy couple of months!!! In March I was picked to be in the High School Play, which was completely amazing. I had sooo much fun. I was a villager for the play. I had a couple of lines which was a great experience. So with going to the High school everyday for 2 months was very long and was completly tiring.  I was there from 3 until 5 and then it went on to weekends also and then it was 4-9. So when I came home I was too tired to do anything. The production was on Memorial Day weekend. We had soo much fun, though when it came time to leave everyone was very sad. Mom made me a scrapbook to remember how much fun and how much work was put into the production. I finished school on June 2nd. I am soo excited to start the next year. I will be in 9th grade. I also can't wait because I can do all the cool stuff that mom had purchased for the new school year. Now since summer is here I will be able to have a some more free time. Though the end of the month my friend CJ and I are going to my high tech grama's and stay for a couple of weeks. We are both very excited. A couple of days ago we got a call from my Uncle in Nutty Easte and told us that Titi is having a girl and she will be born in October. bcuz8 doesn't get his baby brother like he wished for. I am soo sorry bcuz8, I was hoping for a boy. We can't wait for that new little baby to come into the world. I hope everyone is having a great day and having a nice time spending it with family or friends. Tomorrow mom and Littlesis8 and I are going yard sale-ing, I can't wait. Then at 4pm my friend Marshmellow is having her 15th birthday party. So tomorrow shall be a busy day. Have a great week ~County Rose~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/546689/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:36:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/546689/   With 2007/2008 school year ending in a couple of months, we have been thinking of the new year arriving. Next year I will be going into 9th grade and need to start keeping grades for credits. We started homeschooling in 2004/2005, we started with a charter school. We found out we weren't to crazy about it. So when the school year 2005/2006 came we started Weaver and have been doing Weaver ever since. Though next year we are looking for something easier to do for grade keeping. We have been looking at a charter school again, but we have also been looking at LifePac. We have been keeping next year in prayer. I, myself like the idea of LifePac but we're not sure what is going to happen. We have been looking at a photography 18 weeks session for next year for credits. So I hope everything works out. Please Keep us in prayer with our decisions.   If any of you mind of letting me know what you do and how you like it, so we can look at all of our options.  ~Thanks Country Rose~ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/493693/ Thu, 6 Mar 2008 13:21:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/countryrose/493693/   My Grandma and Grandpa are coming home from Florida. They have been gone since December and we all miss them. They will be staying here for a week or so and then taking Littlebro12 with them. Littlebro12 can't wait to go with them.   While they were in Florida they went to Disney World. They had my Aunt come down to visit them and they took her to Disney world. Grama took pics of Grampa kissing Minnie Mouse's nose, and Gramapa walking with a southern bell(holding her hand). Grama said that the lady asked Gramapa to hold her hand like he was going to propose to her. She sent these pics. to mom and she showed them to us. We got a kick out of Littlesis8 because she got all mad at him for holding another lady's hand. So she had me dial their number and she wanted to talk to Gramapa. She started to yell at Gramapa and told him that he was grounded from Playstation2. He started to make crying noises. So he said ok. Then the next day he called (it was Valentine's day) and said can I be ungrounded from the PS2. She said NO!! Mom wanted Littlesis8 to ask Grampa if he would be her sweetheart. She said no she would be to embarassed. So I got on the phone and asked him and he said he would. Then that made Littlesis8 want to ask him. He said no I can't be your sweetheart that he was mine and that he can be her honey. So Littlesis8 was happy.   We all can't wait for them to come home today and see us. We are all happy they are going to be with us for a week.   I hope all is going well with you guys. Hope you have a blessed day.

It was a blast. We got down there about 7:30 gave hugs to cuz's(aunt and uncle weren't there yet) and then gcuz11 helped me carry in my bags. When TitiE (thats what we call our aunt) came home we help her bring in her groceries. Than our UncleD came home and we gave hugs to him. Then we were all sitting down in the living room and were all talking. When UncleD said lets have a vote on who wants to have Christmas now or tomorrow. Of course all the kids said now which equlls 7 in all and UncleD wanted to have Christmas than to. So we had 8 in all. So we out ruled the other adults. So we had Christmas on January 25,2008 at 12:00. UncleD said we had to have it a month late and not a month and a day late. So we had Christmas right than. For the past 2 or 3 years we have been making homemade gifts for each other so here's what we made each other.    We always start with the youngest first. Which was gcuz2 and gcuz3(they teamed up together to make a gift) So they went with TitiE and got their gift for............................my mom and their TitiK.

He made a gift for...........Littlesis8! He made her a purple crib with a yellow blanket (i don't think he made her the blanket or and both my favorite colors) She really likes it. (Heres a pic of the crib and Littlesis8) Great Job bcuz8!!  Next was gcuz11's turn she had.......Littlebro12! She made him a really neat gift.
