Exciting!
I know I haven’t posted lately, but we’ve been out living life and I’ve been running out of time to blog.  I will try to get back here more regularly.  But I have exciting news today!!!  Debbie from Homeschooling: Freedom and Fun for Your Family interviewed me about a month ago and today is the day that I appear on her blog.  Check it out here:  http://homeschoolingisfreedom.blogspot.com/2009/11/possibilities-for-fun-are-endless.html And while you are over there, check out all the wonderful inte

The Simple Woman’s Daybook
FOR TODAY, With special thanks to Peggy at The Simple Woman’s Daybook who created the daybook. October 26, 2009 Outside my window… the trees have either lost their leaves or they are displaying beautiful colors. I am thinking… that sleep would be a wonderful thing if it actually happened.  Feeling really drained today. I am thankful… for my wonderful friends.

Friday
First, I have to tell you I’m still riding the high from yesterday.  It’s a kid in a candy store type feeling.  I had an awesome day, so I just have to share that first, then I’ll get back to what we did the rest of the week because we were busy. The day started off with us getting up early to get ready to go to Black Pine Animal Park for my first day of volunteering.  I was excited and nervous.  Tyler got to come along and he gets to help me with some things, but not all things.  He didn’t help much yesterday since I was just learning, but he did great.  He played with the cats in the offic
