I have to get use to having the General Education Board. For some reason I just noticed it today (embarrassing). Off to read ;)

I'm having fun schooling my nephew with Letter of the Week =)

Just having fun figuring out the new WTM forum ;)

Yes, it probably would be a very long day with the BJU to add too many things to it. You could always stretch Art of Argument over two years, or schedule only 1 or 2 days a week, if you really wanted to do it. Or you could eliminate tests and quizzes, and just use it as a supplement that the two of you have a "conference" about each week. Or you could something The Fallacy Detective instead, which would only be once a week anyway.

I am very excited about America the Beautiful. I've heard very good things about Notgrass, so I am expecting it to be great!

Hi! Sorry your comment did come through on my blog. Yes, we are looking at a full year ahead for sure! And time does fly by very fast. I can hardly believe my son is 14 and so far in his schooling. It seems like yesterday he was just a little boy playing with his trucks and legos! It is exciting to watch them grow, however, and I am so blessed and grateful to be able to spend so much time with them. I wouldn't change it for anything!

Hi, Amanda, I tried to leave a comment on your blog but lately BLogger hasn't liked me very much;).

I was commenting on your curriculum for this fall. It looks great! And doesn't it feel good to have it all picked out? I have our stuff picked out but still need to purchase most of it. Can't wait to have it sitting on the shelf:D

Hi, Dee, we are both up late ;)

With regards to purchasing used, the safest way would to use non personal paypal.

Hi, Just testing a message for you =)

Hi, Becky, math programs like MUS, Singapore, Miquon and Math Mammoth really confused my oldest. His brain just doesn't think that way. I had him take an online profile and it confirmed that he works best with a more traditional type of schooling.

We finished a week! How did yours go. Mine went well. I can't complain. We didn't fit everything I wanted to in: like McRuffy Phonics and Math for Lance but I may do more night school with him instead. I just can't seem to fit everyone in. I have five kids that I sit in on with Math, 4 with Phonics, 2 with spelling and all six when they need help or need to make corrections. I tell ya, I'm pooped =) wouldn't have it any other way though. My dh will hopefully be able to help once our apartments are all rented. Have an enjoyable weekend (and restful)

Hi there! I am still trying to figure out how parts of this website work. I hope you get this response. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you praying for me! I just got the message today.

My biggest battle with starting back to school usually involves just the discipline of actually following a schedule for the children and myself. I revamped my schedule. We'll officially try it out next week, I guess. This week, we're mainly focusing on math. Yes, I switched again. MUS just has such convoluted ways of teaching...confusing to my kids, so we are trying good ole' traditional Rod & Staff. I am excited about it, actually. We were trying to do MUS as well as TT. It was too much to oversee and I was not satisfied with either on its own. Maybe R&S will be the perfect fit. We'll be trying MC soon also. I will pray for your school days. You blessed me today with your message. Thank you for your thoughtfulness! :)

Blessings,

Becky

Thanks for sharing about your family & Bible time. We used MFW Ex-1850s last year, but only with my 3 oldest. And I did MFW 1st w/ the next one... But we had no "family" Bible time. This year will be different! :)

I said a prayer for you today. Hope your day went well. Mine was okay. Not the greatest first day back but not the worst either ;)

I know what you mean. Back in my working days there was this one lady who was so mean to me. I would be so frustrated at times and just cry my eyes out. If I saw here today I'd say, "Hi" still and converse. I have forgiven long ago (actually never hated her or anything) it just amazes me how people can be so rude to others. Still praying for you anyway ;)

Thank you. I'm getting over it pretty quickly. It's so ridiculous how people will pop in and out of your life, simply to bring strife. I know she's doing this to provoke and I will not allow it; it just makes me so darn mad.
