It has been TOOOOOO long since I have been able to write. I feel kind of crazy from having talked to myself for so long.

Do you have those mini-conversations? The conversations that start while flipping laundry or vacuuming or even following kids throughout the yard?

Mine go something like this:

What a great winter day.

If it's going to be cold I wish it would snow.

What's the weather like on the mountain?
*checks the iTouch weather channel app*

Oh! We could ski on Thursday. The weather would be perfect.

No, Mike has a diaconate meeting on Thursday. What does Wednesday look like?

Hmm... piano lessons on Wednesday. Wonder if Sam would reschedule.

Well, with Scouts on Monday and basketball on Tuesday I really wouldn't have a lot of time to prep everything.

I need ot get that Lowes Foods To Go order placed.

Did Jessica say she needed anything?

*checks past emails*

Hmm... I'd prefer to place my order on Wednesday then we have more choices for the weekend...

But if we're skiing then I don't really need choices.

And so goes the continuous loop. Somehow in the whole mix of mini-convos I manage to get chores and lessons and special time all in the day, too. But I end the day with an incredible headache. Ouch!

I hope having my blog back will help alleviate the headaches!
And I have lots of great reviews to write, too! Among them are Heads Up Visual Aids. I love these! And better yet, they work...and there's a story behind this one worth reading, IMO.

And we just began an Apologia science book today. I've never seen Apologia though I have of course heard of it. I am very pleasantly surprised after our first day!

Additional reviews include a lovely Home School in the Woods, SpellQuizzer (which will get cranked up later this week), and MathMammoth which is a delight!

Please check back as I recommit to daily writings. And to see if my own little headache experiment works!
