Wordless Wednesday: A Thirsty Birdie

Happy Wordless Wednesday!

What Type of Shoe Am I?

I saw this Quiz over at Classical Education Our Way and just had to try it out as well. Well I do like country music, I don't own a pair of cowboy boots at all...

You Are Cowboy Boots

This doesn't mean you're country, just funky. You've got a ton of attitude and confidence. You're unique, expressive, and even a little bit wacky. You wear whatever you feel like – and you have your own sense of style. You are straight shooting and honest. You tell people how it is. Low maintenance and free wheeling, you're always up for an adventure. You should live: Where you can at least get to wide open spaces You should work: In a job that allows you to take change

What Kind of Shoe Are You?

I have been TAGGED!

Here are the rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.

2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.

3. At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their name, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

5. Does Coconut Lattes Count as a snack? I know they count as a meal if you're counting calories. *Ü*

In the real world:

What do you want others to get from your blog:

I originally started this so my family (especially those in NC), could see what my family was up to. I am horrible at a keeping in touch and thought this would be a wonderful way to do it.

I would love to offer encouragement and help to other homeschoolers across the world. To share idea's, and to learn from other homeschooling families.

Who am I tagging:

1. Someone/Anyone that wants to join in the fun...
2. And another person...
3. That means You!
4. Just make sure...
5. You leave a comment here so I can check out your post as well. I would love to learn more about you. *Ü*

I have been missing...

posting here at my blog. But life has been pretty busy around here lately.

I am part of a wonderful group of gals that is starting a homeschooling co-op in our area. Boy this is a LOT of work. But I feel it is very God directed and am extremely excited about it. We are finishing up the final touches to get the teacher request forms out. We are still trying to come up with a name. Boy, this is so hard to do... But I am sure we will come up with a perfect name.

Our Co-op classes are over (art, bible, human body, Latin-though online classes are continuing), but Zoology is still happening for the next 4 weeks. We are doing Zoology at my house and I am enjoying being home to do teach this. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed being at my friends houses as well, but there is nothing like teaching in your own home. I just wished I had a bigger home like my friends. It would be nice if the mom's could have a separate room to visit in.

My mom got pretty sick this week and ended up staying the night in the hospital. She is doing much better, but the Dr. still need to find out what the root of her problem is. They think is is Bilateral Vertigo, but they don't know much about vertigo. Please pray for my mom. She is afraid to lay down flat (understandably so), because she is worried it will happen again.

Other things in life have been happening: school, visiting with my grand baby when ever possible, field trips, helping Nana, and more... It is amazing how busy our lives can get during different seasons in our lives. I am anxiously awaiting for a slow season.

Oh and we finished our Russia Study! YEAH! My friend will be finishing up her finally revision of her studies and will have these for sale very soon. I couldn't recommend the Russia one highly enough. I have learned so much... and so have the kids. I can't wait to get the next one she has for me to review. And I will be sure to post here as soon as they are available for sale.

Something I have been neglecting that I am waiting to get back into ASAP is our nature studies. I am really missing these and am looking forward to getting back to them.

I will be posting updates on our weekly reports, field trips, etc as soon as I can. I miss doing these things. At times I think I am not doing enough with school, but when I post a weekly report, oh my... I feel like I did a lot more then I thought I did.

Thanks for stopping by

PS: Patrica, I will get to that tag asap. Thanks for thinking of me!
