My friend Leigh commented on her blog about her feelings about taking the SAT.
I remember going to Alma College to take the ACT. I couldn’t tell you now what building I went to but I remember my chair was next to a brick pillar. Why I remember that I don’t know. I don’t […]

KP goes back to Austin in April. The week before Easter actually. KP asked if I would be interested in going down with him. Here was my thought process:
We woke up to -13 this morning. Not wind chill but actual temperature. Ugh. We’ve had two storms this week with another two predicted for next […]

I recently found a web site for studying for the SAT. I have been going there every day and answering the daily question. So far I’ve answered each one right but I’ve only been going there a little over a week so its not that big a deal. Its my daily affirmation that my brain […]

I took Chief last night to the optometrist at Sam’s Club. This comes after several weeks of studying our vision insurance plan (another vent completely) and determining if using the plan is cost effective.

“The education of children for God is the most […]

After completing the final unit from Learning Adventures volume 1, we decided it was OK but not interesting enough to continue with the second book. I have been interested in Tapestry of Grace for sometime but was afraid to commit to an entire year plan. TOG recently started selling units individually so I bought Year […]

Peanut did her workbook with me this morning while I checked my email. She did pretty good connecting the lines with R for Rocketship with other pictures that started with R (Rainbow, Rocking Chair). What she lacks in knowledge she more than makes up for in enthusiasm. Even when she’s wrong! […]
