I am constantly amazed at how simple ideas can make huge changes in our daily lives. I feel that we really don’t take time to think and problem solve any more.
Hello everyone. I hope to make a great list of happenings in the local area. So, if you know about something, please email me so that I can get it added here.

Today’s protest was fairly uneventful. WBC claims to have conducted 43,358 peaceful protest, but PEACE is a far cry from the message presented at Conway High today.
Well … many of you have been asking for me to blog more …. AND … I haven’t!!! DUH!!!
First, because I haven’t had time
Second … well … because if I did …. no one would ever homeschool AGAIN …
even though I know this is what I am suppose to do …. and the best education for my children ….
BUT … we are in a really crazy “season” right now … I have 4 kids … one is a teenager that’s going thru the “change” … something I’m not exactly sure how to deal with … a 10 year old who LOVES/craves attention …. a 6 year old who is diagnosable … and a 3 year who bounces off walls for the thrill of knowing how it feels to get hurt …. anyone want to trade for a day???
And to think I gave up a great paying job to do this for free ….
my hope is that …. at the end of this journey …. we will all come out ALIVE and with some sanity!!!!
BUT … as of tonight … we are heading for a one week adventure to Orlando … so …. I thought I would include all of you on our journey … ya know .. for kicks!!!!
so let the story begin ….
so …. Friday – January 8th has been a very busy day.
First …. we had to get school done …. priority number 1 …. we have many more days to go before we can enjoy a summer break …
Around lunch time … Jamie and I decided to let the kids in on a HUGE secret that we had been hoping would work out …
Jamie has to go to training in Orlando … so we were waiting to see if it would be ok for us to tag along …
being homeschoolers that is one of our “perks” … getting to “drop and go” whenever something exciting comes along …
so … after a month of keeping it quiet and a month of HTC getting everything together for Jamie’s training in FL …
we finally dropped the big bomb today at lunch time … Let’s go to FL with daddy … and play at Universal Studios!!!!!
AND YES …. we will be doing school next week … but a more modified version of what we do ….
Mainly … math, grammar, a little history and a little science … some books on CD … some DVDs from the library …
So … as you can guess …. we are REALLY excited … changing up the routine is fun … so … off we go …. to see … some mo’ …….
