You Know You're a Homeschooler...
...if the only bell that rings at your school is the telephone.
...if you think an "Anglo Saxon" is a math text book.
...if your school planner has a column entitled "chores."
...if your teacher has ever attended school in her pajamas.
...if your kitchen table serves as a lab, supply center, work area, and, occasionally, a place to eat.
...if when you check out at the library, your stack of books is taller than the librarian.
...if you have to stop and think when asked, "What grade are you in?"
...if you shop for back-to-school clothes in your older sibling's hand-me-down pile.
...if your class roster sounds like a Biblical genealogy.
(If you don't understand this list, it means you probably not a homeschooler, ask me and I'll clarify a few things.)
Hey Everyone!!!!!!!!! I have pretty much finished school (pretty much meaning I have three more pages of Biology left and I am neglecting it right now, because I don't feel like doing it. Oh, that would be everyday I don't feel like doing it. lol). It is rainy outside, I love it when it is rainy because then I don't feel the need to go out side, and can at least finish half of my subjects with out getting up.
Mom and the kids are at F.I.C.H. (pronounced fish, their homeschool group). They are getting ready for track and field day which is next week. Get this, one of the games is the shoe flop, you know throwing your shoe off of your foot!!!!!!! That's my kind of game.
Last night I slept for only about four 1/2 hours. It was really annoying. Goop was coming out of my eyes like no other ( you really didn't need to know that ) and they were getting stuck shut, which should make it easier to sleep, but it doesn't when they are also burning, itching, and stinging at the same time. My mom doesn't think it is Pink Eye so she is having me go to the eye doc today. I don't really see how that can help, because I have a feeling that they are going to say, "Say inside it is ALLERGIES." I HAVE BEEN STAYING INSIDE AND I AM GOING CCRRRAAAAZZZZZYYYYYY!!!!!!! ok, enough is enough.
This afternoon I am going to go to Naughty's house and watch Pride and Prejudice, and make Potatoes, Cheese, and Ham. It sounds pretty basic so I don't think I can mess it up to much. lol
Tomorrow Dan has a track meet so it is going to rain and it will be in the forties. That is how I predict the weather now, and usually it is so accurate. lol
Well, I can't think of anything more to write. So that's it for now folks. God Bless.
EDIT: Ok, so I just go back from the doc, and he said that my right eye was worse than my left, LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!!! Now he has me on a subscription for eye drops which I take only twice a day. When he handed them to me, he said not to expect immediate relief it would probably take four days to a week for them to kick in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh At least I can look forward to next week, then I will be able to go outside. God Bless

FINISHED
Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!! Today was my last day of writing class!!!!!!!!!!!! No more sentence openers, no more decorations, no more dress-ups!!!!!!!!! We are through, it is time to become unwritified (I just made that up)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!! Horray!!!!!!!
School is slowly coming to a close. I think I have senioritis and I am only a freshman!!!!!!!! That should be outlawed. I have become one of the worst procastinaters, always putting things off to the very last minute. Unfortanetly it works (I don't know if it is bad or good, because my mom says it teaches bad habits). oh well. School is almost through, and then on with the summer!!!!!
There really is nothing more to say. I am still stuck inside, and I am running out of amusment. David has piano play-offs tonight (I am not in them because I have a different teacher).
Right now Joben is killing the little kids' chalk board with a sword. hmm Lydia is underneath it, now I understand. Joe has now excaped outside. I have to go after him so I will write more later. God Bless

Birthday Greetings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Everyone!!!!!! I hope you are having a good day!!!!! I am not sure about myself yet, I haven't started school so I cannot rightly tell if it will be a good day or not. If I can get my Latin test done before lunch, then it will be a good day (even better if I don't fail the test lol). I have some birthday Greetings to give.
HAPPY 17th Birthday LYDIA!!!!!
HAPPY 12th Birthday NATHAN!!!!!
Well, that's it for the b-day congratulations. Not much else going on around here. The tree pollen still rules my life for the time being, I so want to go outside and ride my bike. I look out of my window dreamily starring at the sun (ok, not really but I really want to go outside without having puffy, itchy, swollen, stingy eyes). lol
Dan has a time trial track meet today, the whole family might go because it is pretty near our house, that is, if it doesn't rain. Sadly if you hear the word track meet you can almost guarantee rain is going to come even when there is only a 40% chance of rain. lol Sadly, I really do hope it rains, just because maybe then all of the tree pollen would get washed away, fat chance. Oh, yesterday While I was doing science one of the new vocab words was POLLEN like I really need to know what that means. lol
I have been reading through Leviticus for my devotions. It truly is amazing how there are so many direct instructions on what is clean and what not is clean and what is presentable to God. Only the very best is presentable and even that is not good enough. It really strikes home on how we are to be holy and acceptable to God. Also, I have learned how much God cared for His people, telling them what they are to eat and what they are not supposed to eat, now after doing all the studies science has accomplished we can see how eating those things could have been fatal. God truly is AWESOME!!!!!!
GET WELL SOON, ABBY!!!! WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU!!!!!!
Well, that's it for now fokes. I am going to put a face on my Mickey-mouse pancake (don't ask) God Bless.

Book Dilema
Hey Everyone!!!!!!!! Not much going on today. Right now it is 78 degrees outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And man is it humid, summer doesn't seem able to reign itself in before the season actually comes, but I don't care. Bring on the heat!!!!!! (In about three months I will kill my self for saying that) I have finished the Keeper Of the Bees, it is a really really really good book, now I am trying to decide which book to read next. It is a very had decision, believe me. I can't decide between David Copperfield by Dickens, Robinson Crusoe, and The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a piano lesson today, it was okay. I got this new book with duets in it so I am looking forward to messing around with it a little. My teacher doesn't want me to be doing any stretching as of yet so I have to stick to my Bach and to the duet, thats not to bad.
I am supposed to have 1,000 words done for my 5,000 word paper on Tuesday and I haven't even started!!!!!!! I have absolutely no idea what to write!!!! The topic is most confusing. I am writing on a verse from Matthew (the one where Jesus says we are to take up our cross and follow Him) and how it relates to the Romans, the Greeks, and the Jews. The thing is that there really isn't that much information out there on that sort of topic so it is mostly a essay from my puny little brain. Well, at least I have Matthew Henry and J.C. Ryle for the application. I can count on THAT part of the paper getting a passing grade. I need to brainstorm some more.
My cold from my throat has now passed but now my younger brother who is learning all about sharing decided that it would be very kind of him to share his sinus congestion (that word really bothers me, I don't know why lol) with me so now I am all stuffed up and coughing!!!!!!!! Will it ever end!!!!!!!!
Well, that's it for now. Its such a beautiful day!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord for His awesome creation!!!!!!!!! God Bless.

Biking
Hey Everyone!!!!!!! This weekend was pretty much great. My mom and I went to this homeschooling for highschool with lititure conference. It was superb!!!!! I love reading and if that means I can do more of it for school, yahoooo!!!!! lol
Not much else going on. Dan came in first in all of his races yesturday, rumor had it that he was an army man. jk He did win all of them though. GO DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, as for me, I am sick. blah humbug. On Monday night I couldn't sleep because it felt like someone was attacking my throat with a two edged sword, not so comfortable. I made up for all the sleep, pretty much, yesturday and can now tell I need more sleep today. Lydia woke up screeming for some reason last night so she kept me up for about and hour, not so pleasent.
Oh ya, on Monday my syblings and I taught Lydia how to ride a bike. She is really a mental case I am sad to say. She could ride perfectly fine on the grass but when we moved to the road she would make herself fall by veering off into the grass. Well, dad went to the store and bought a six back of glass bottle coca cola's. He told her that if she could ride from our house around the cul-de-sac with out help she could have them, but everyday she couldn't do it he would take one of the cola's. That got her motivated, a little. So, on Monday night, I went outside with her and we worked and worked. She was trying to do anything to get out of it. lol After going 200 yards and 'falling' she told me that her legs hurt. I laughed and said they couldn't hurt worse than mine because I had been running alongside her every single time she took off!!!!!!!!! Well, we finally got into the cul-de-sac and were half way around when she fell!!!!! I couldn't believe it, and instead of wanting to try again she said she was done. I told her no way sister your going to ride. Soe she did it again, and I ran and she rode down and around and back again. SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!! Afterwords my legs were killing me and I had to ice my ankle (that stubborn thing just wont heal all the way, it even prohibits me from running), but it was all worth it. Sadly, Lydia has not touched her bike since. She just doesn't want to ride. I don't understand it. Oh, well.
On Monday it hit 75 Degrees!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, Ya. I forgot to mention, I AM ON SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it would never come. Well, thats it for now fokes. God Bless.

HAIR CUT
Hey everyone!!!!!!! I actually did it!!! I have cut ten inches off my hair!!!!!!!! I never really realised how curly my hair was, ya I knew it was curly,but now WOW!!!! My head is a curly mass of hair!!!!! I look like a poodle, no joke!!!!! I can say that I am enjoying a lighter head, it is such a weight off my neck!! Well, that is the big news for the day.
Yesturday Naughty came over. We had a blast. We ended up making dinner and I would have to say it tasted pretty good. We made chili (a batch so big we are not going to run out for atleast two weeks), corn bread, and ceasar salad. Afterwords we were really pooped, I don't know how my mom does it every day!!!!!! Dan also had a track meet yesturday but they only got through two races I believe because it was raining so hard, then it began to lightning so they called a thirty min. break and then just called the whole thing off. It was rescheduled for today, so Dan should be running right about now.
Tomorrow me and my mom are going to a full day seminar and I am really looking forward to it. It is called Beginning With the End in Mind, it is about homeschooling and how to get the best out of it so you can get scholarships and stuff like that (there are other things as well). We then get to go out for lunch and return for more speaking. I am really looking foward to it because it means I get to spend the whole day with my mom. Just me and her. SWEET!!!
Last Friday I think I did the stupidest thing. My teacher has assigned me a Chopin peice. The cords are very, very large and needless to say my stretch is on the small side. Well, I was going through it and was trying to make the chord but I didn't really work, I kind of did something to my pinky finger and man did it hurt. At my piano lesson, my teacher got worried, so we cut the lesson short and she told me to us it and wrap it together with tape. I am sick of the tape because I can't do anything with that hand, but it still hurts like the dickens. It is so stupid to say I hurt my hand playing the piano!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Well thats it for now fokes. I'll let you know when something happens in my life again. God Bless.

Baby Shower
Hey everyone!!!!!!!! Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while. We lost our inernet for about a day, and we have been pretty busy. Today is Leah's baby shower. My mom is incharge of all the games and the devotion so we have to get there and hour before the thing even starts.
I finally finished Pride and Prejudice. It is a really good book, I think it is one of my top three favorite as of now. I read it in about one week, and man were those some late nights. (late nights for me is 10:30 or 11:00 if I am really crazy, I have to wake up at 6:18 in the morning and I hate over sleeping my alarm) Now I need to see the movie again, for my fifth time. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!
On another note. I have decided it is finally time to cut my hair. It is very sad to part with it because it is so attached too me. lol At least it is for a good cause. I am going to be donating it to Locks of Love. They want ten inches, so man my hair is going to be short. I have not had my hair above my shoulders since I was six!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night my dad rented Chicken Little. Its pretty good. Well, after we were done we watched the music videos. Joben was dancing, bobbing his head, and jamming with the music. We believe the group that sang this song is his favorite group. One of his favorite songs to sing is If I Had A Million Dollars, and the song on the movie Let It Slip was by the same group. He was so funny. Oh, by the way, Joben is only two!!!!!!!
Thats it for now fokes. I have to go and do my chores before we leave at 9:45 a.m. The bathrooms are awaiting me. April Fools Day (I didn't do any fooling though) God Bless.
