Revolting because I don't like mayo.

Hits: CLE math (perennial favorite) Apologia Swimming Creatures Miss: Trail Guide to Learning, Paths of Exploration. The curriculum itself is fine, it just didn't fit with my daughters learning style.

My daughter loves being able to keep track of her work with the student logbook. Here is the link: http://mystudentlogbook.blogspot.com/ And this is my planner: http://www.christianbook.com/the-well-planned-day-homeschool-planner/rebecca-keliher/9780983511403/pd/511403?item_code=WW&netp_id=982445&event=ESRCG&view=details

This is how I set up my planner too. I bought out dated Well Planned Day planners from 2012 on CBD for .99 and start the first day as 1 and then number up to 180. I also talked to the owner of My Student Log Book and asked if they could make me a log book for my daughter that are not dated, just numbered 1-180. They now offer that as well as a traditional set up logbook.

She is most likely using olive oil or coconut oil and both have antibacterial properties. Her teeth and gums will be healthy. Toothpaste is not necessary.

Ditto to all of the above. We have 2 dogs and my neighbors big dog is here all day so I consider him to be our 3rd. We always had 3-4 dogs when I was growing up. I will never NOT have dogs. When I met my DH he saw pictures of my dogs before he saw pictures of my kids.

We call it plastic cheese too, I won't buy it. My kids love cheese for a snack and prefer cheddar, provolone or pepper jack. I definitely won't buy anything that isn't real butter. My daughter and I went out to a steak house for lunch yesterday and I asked for some butter for my steak. They brought me a "butter blend". I asked for real butter, they didn't have it, only the "butter blend". You'd think in a steak house they would offer real food, not garbage fake butter. We don't eat any grains, rice or flour. My kids love mock-a-roni and cheese which is cauliflower and cheese.

I'm also an introvert and have been told that I "look unapproachable", which is actually OK with me. It has nothing to do with anyone other then myself. It doesn't mean I don't like you, it doesn't mean you did anything wrong, it's just ME. I don't mind being an introvert, but I really get bothered when other people think it's something they have done. It really has nothing to do with what anyone else has said or done. It's just how I am. I learned not to be overly friendly because then people want to engage me. That is usually the last thing I want. I am not trying to be rude, I just like being by myself.

http://www.christianbook.com/lesson-exploring-creation-zoology-swimming-creatures/lynn-ericson/pd/427105?event=1016AEM It breaks the book down into daily lessons. If I remember correctly, the lesson plans do not include what to do with the notebook other then some suggestions. I went through the daily lessons and assigned notebooking pages that matched up. For me it was well worth the $6 to have the lessons already mapped out for me.

We had a neighbor complain because we put up a clothesline. It was a small umbrella type that folds down. She called me a redneck. I went out and found the biggest pack of old lady granny panties I could find and hung them on the line. They stayed on that line and every so often I'd go out and add a hole-y sock or rotate the thing so she could have a better view. I'd add gaudy looking clothes and even hung a sheet that had a huge pepsi stain on it. It looked like someone couldn't hold their bowels. I hung ghosts on it at Halloween and put Christmas icicle lights on it for Christmas. We did not live with an HOA (and never will) and there were no township laws/regulations against them. She just felt that in this day and age people should use a dryer inside their house.

Maybe the party was funded by the team, and open only to the team. I wouldn't read anything more into it.

LMAO Sentinels of Shame!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: When I lived in NJ there was a big stink over this statue that some guy put in his backyard. After a few complaints from neighbors he put a fence up around the yard. They still complained so he started to grow bamboo. I don't know if you've ever seen bamboo, but it grows TALL and EVERYWHERE. To get around it being a nuisance he insisted he was selling the bamboo. Something to do with an agricultural permit. So the bamboo stayed and it literally swallowed up the entire yard. He had one little sign on the door saying "bamboo for sale". The thing was huge and had glowing red eyes, which is what ticked off the neighbors. I used to love to ride by and see it. lol. http://www.bubblews.com/news/602469-babylonian-fertility-god-demon-was-in-my-town http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/1615

We school year round and finished 3rd grade the end of April. We took May off and just started back with our "new" year, 4th grade, this week. My siggy has been updated.

I lost 60 lbs by eating high fat and low carb.

There are more nitrites in your spit then in your bacon. http://chriskresser.com/the-nitrate-and-nitrite-myth-another-reason-not-to-fear-bacon I eat bacon every day.

I bought the lesson plans that go with the text and notebook. I was able to set up the entire year using the lesson plans and my soon to be 4th grader does it independently. I skipped over a few of the experiments (like buy a tadpole and raise some other critter). The experiments we do together and they don't require a lot of time. I bought the lab kit when Mardel had 40% off and it's been a life saver for me. I hate hunting down all the little parts to do an experiment. For me, it was well worth the $, all the lab supplies are in a little plastic baggie and labeled by the lesson.

What do you do with the yolk you don't eat? Why don't you eat the yolk?

I'd start right away with de-schooling, letting her unwind a bit and not feel pressured. We school year round and our schedule is very flexible and laid back. I agree with the person that said CLE for math. It is a solid math program with lots of review. My daughter loves it. Instead of history in books you can do the videos and CD's in the car. We have listened to all the Story of the World CD's without doing the formal book work. There are lots of CD's on tons of subjects that are read by Jim Weiss, the same story teller from the SOTW CD's. My daughter loves to find things laying around to read. If I put a Studies Weekly on the coffee table, she will pick it up out of curiosity and start reading it. Before I know it she had read the entire thing. Daily Grams is a one page daily brush up on grammar. It takes less than 10 mins to do a page. Easy Grammar takes a bit longer but is also a good choice. We did both last year for 3rd grade.

LOL Don't ask for chicken! It will come with the head attached, raw and swimming in it's own blood. This picture was taken after I sent it back to have it cooked well done. All they did was wipe the blood off the plate lol

I chose scrambled but I equally love deviled eggs. I eat about 6-8 eggs per day. Scrambled for breakfast and deviled in between meals. I cook them swimming in butter and add a some american or cheddar cheese. MMMMMMM! I have about 60 chickens (give or take, they are fast moving and hard to count!) so we always have delicious fresh eggs. I love bacon and I cook a lot of things in the bacon grease, but not my eggs. Eggs must be drowned in butter.

BPC!!! I just discovered BP hot cocoa! I usually eat eggs (scrambled in tons of salted kerrygold or deviled) with bacon and sausage. Usually just bacon, but sometimes I can't decide so I have both bacon and sausage with my eggs like I did today. My chickens give me the best eggs on earth!

BACON!! I love bacon! I eat it every day with breakfast and as a snack at night. My chickens lay awesome eggs, but bacon has my heart.

Exactly.

Woo hooo!! I bought the Apologia lab kit that is normally $70 for $42 and free shipping!
