• Sep. 27, 2005 - Lost in the boxes

Here I sit in the midst of what seems to be several thousand boxes (or more like 100 or so).  Like I really have time to be bloggin here.  I never knew I could aquire so much stuff.  I have been diligent in cleaning out and sending to Goodwill what I have not used/worn in a while.  Other than the cemetary, I plan for this to be my last move. LOL!!!!!

 

School has been nonexistant this week.  However, as we creative home educating mothers can do, I could say that we did math by figuring out how many items would fit into each box.  And science could have been figuring out the correct positioning of the items.  And of course we completed spelling and penmanship by labeling the boxes. 

 

I received exciting news yesterday.  Our 4H is offering us the opportunity to raise baby pigs.  The children are excited about this.  I am also (I think)  I am really ready to get into this farming lifestyle. We will receive our pigs in January and will raise them to show in fairs and such.  I also plan to get a cow for milk next spring.  Yummy!  Fresh cow's milk!!!  We can hardly wait.

 

We are down to one chicken.  Actually it is our rooster.  The puppies played a little too hard with our laying hen, Sally, on Sunday.  She is resting in peace in the side yard. 

 

Until next time.....

When I have a big project like packing/ organizing going on, it does me good to sit down and work on my blog for a while or read others. Don't feel guilty! Have fun with the pigs. Sounds like a great project.

you're on the right track -- count EVERYTHING as school -- picking up boxes is PE, sweeping & examining dust is SCIENCE, etc etc etc Praying for your move -- we just moved a year ago and still have boxes to unload! == julie
