We haven't got much "school" done lately, but quite a bit of learning about real life.  My husband came home for a few days.We sort of take a break from school when he comes home.  He's an over- the -road  truck driver.  He was gone this time for 16 days.  My kids are all learning what not to do for a living.  This is really helping them realize that they need to start thinking about what each one is gifted in and persue it .

     I was outside vacuuming the cab of the semi and I was turning to go out on the step to vacuum the floor ander the seat and the next thing I knew, I was falling through the air( which seemed to last forever, and I was thinking all kinds of things),

and landed on my neck, head and upper back. I laid there  for about 10 minutes, wondering if I should move.  Anyway , I survived.  Don't wear flip flops  when

you clean out the cab of a semi.

      The kids had testing last Friday.  Most of them thought they did pretty good, except dd#1 who had to go to the bathroom so bad she  only did a few of the math problems.(Oh great)  She said she thought that since it was a timed test, they only graded you on the ones you had time to do.. ..I guess..   I'll try not to think about it

        DS #1 is now into skateboarding.  AT lleast it's good excercise, and good for coordination.   I guess I'll go lay down, my neck is hurting...........
