My blood pressure is great. Bring on the bacon!!

I think we should all eat bacon. Is there a bacon bar on the ITT Island??

I try to take this position, too. Door to door evangelism is not my style, even though I am a Christian, and the only things I buy sold door to door are raffle tickets and candy sold by the actual children who live on this street, and I always buy those. But it doesn't offend me and I can be gracious. Most people don't get mad when you say "no thank you!" The only bad experience I had with one of the door to door sales people was this girl who wanted me to buy books, but she had no actual merchandise and who had the poorest sales pitch I'd ever heard and then got mad at me when I said, kindly, that I wasn't interested.

I like some fish if it is done right.

I'm eating bacon, as we speak.

Science was was really my bugaboo when my kids were younger. But then someone gave me the Apologia Space book and I really liked it, We will be starting our fourth year of Apologia in the fall. We use the notebooks and everything. The kids love it. They really do. However, IMO, I wouldn't start it any younger than third grade. Or at least having an oldest child in the group younger than third or fourth grade. I did it with all 4 of my kids together the past two years and my oldest two have gotten the most out of it. They understand the most, they get the most use out of the notebooking journals... my younger two just kind of tag along. If it were just my younger two I was teaching I would likely do unit studies with the Let's Read and Find Out Books. I really like those. Edited to add: I see someone else mentioned Science in the Beginning. We're finishing the year with that. As I said, my kids loved Apologia, which really has enough material to do science 2-3 days per week. We did it every day and finished at the beginning of April. Someone had given me the first book of the Science in the Beginning, which is very Apologia-ish, and we'll continue with that until the end of the schoo year. We have been enjoying that as well. It doesn't come with notebooks (or at least I haven't seen them and we just make our own pages) and the kids don't like that quite as well, but it is a good, interesting and easy to use curriculum. Experiments every day.

Good Morning!! COFFEE!!☕ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸ I slept like the dead. I love Saturdays. Nothing much going on here today. I'll bake some bread, go to The AFSA, do some housework. The usual stuff.

Now I'm really going to bed.

No, you are not a bad person. It just means you can't join the Happy Unicorn INFJ club.

((Ellie)) I am so sorry and I'm glad you are pretty much all right!! Yay, Lana. I knew it would go well for you. It's that "intuitive" part of being the INFJ. Slashie, I'm glad you are ok, too. Sounds horrible. I am going to bed, too. I am very very tired. But I don't have to get up in the morning. Because Saturday.

I gave blood. At the blood drive. It's been a while. I like to do that. It saves lives.

I always say," whoever smelt it, dealt it,"

Oh, you'll be fine. Just ask her about herself. People like talking about themselves. I find that to be the best way to converse with people I don't know.

That is probably what I will get, at least from the boys. My middle dd likes to write, so hers could be interesting.

. My plan is to get them each one of those cheap composition books from The Walmart and write whatever they feel like, but it had to be a page a day.

This is a fantastic idea!!

I had lunch. Alone. In the rain!! Actually, only the lunch part is true. I have 4 children and 2 kittens running around and the $&*^# wind is still blowing, but no rain. I guess I was having a Hemmingway moment.

It's one of those days!! Warning, Educational Post Ahead; We did get our spelling test done. And verse quiz. Bible is done (we're reading the bio of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Fridays we do 't do our regular Bible, we read bios from the Christian Heros: Then and Now Series). Now, the kids are all doing their math speed drills. Youngest DD is crying because she hates subtraction and oldest DD is yelling at her for crying. DS just unclogged a toilet. It's very windy outside. I hate wind. Kicks up all the dust and pollen. And that concludes my report.

Me, too!

when I was 16 Atari was big, our computer classes in school consisted of learning....something or other... on an Apple IIe... there were no cell phones and most people rented VCRs when they had parties and wanted to watch a movie.

Hey ALD, glad you got sucked in....er...uh... decided to join in.

All that and so much more!!😎

This is a time for deep mourning. I suggest we all take a moment ........

I know, right?? I almost had a panic attack on her behalf.
