Five Things On Friday
1. I am sooooooo looking forward to our visit to York next week. We leave Monday and return the following Monday so we will be there ALL of HOLY WEEK. We can attend all the services. Once again I am reminded how wonderful it is to homechool so we can show our kids the importance of putting GOD FIRST in our lives. There's not one service we will miss because of school or anything else that interferes in the lives of youngsters who attend public school. I am happy about that.
2. CHAP is just one month away. I love that conference...I love the speakers and I love seeing all the curriculum in person and being able to compare strengths and weaknesses AND PRICES so closely!
3. My writing is almost nonexistant as far as real quality work these days. I still have the YA very close to my heart and ever present in my mind....every so often I get a blurb of creativity and I rush to pen and paper to write it down so when I have time I can fit it into the manuscript......hopefully after HOLY WEEK Festivities and CHAP, I'll get more time again. By then the kids will have completed MATH (THEY are both on their last chapters! YIPEE!) and their science fair projects which are both things that have taken up a lot of time. Then we can focus more on other academics, including completion of our creation vs. evolution study before visiting the creation museum later in MAY.
4. I had a wonderful blend of Apple, Carrot and Orange Juice today made fresh in the new juicer. It was sooooo wonderful. I call it Sunshine in a glass. I think I'll make more later too. I like my juicer! :)
5. Garden time is coming up quite soon and I'm feeling overwhelmed. I just have a bad feeling all the work is going to fall on the kids and I and I'm not going to get much out of my husband. I really need him to put up the deer fence as I know my back and shoulders will not appreciate the slugging of the mallet to put the posts into the rocky ground. A friend of mine said she would help, but I can't expect a lot from someonw who is so busy herself. And there is planting time, etc. and the kids and I have STILL not studied this bug book I got.....we need to identify what these critters are if we are going to know which ones to pluck out of the garden and which ones to leave alone!!!!
