I was going to suggest cutting out pictures from magazines, old encyclopedias (you can get some cheap at Goodwill or half price books), or even the internet. My son is in Kindergarten and really does not like drawing. He will attempt to copy what I write on the board so sometimes I write his narration there and he will copy it down. On a RARE occasion he will write on his own in his nature journal.
Draw Write Now is a great collection of books. My son will draw when using those books. I also bought Mark Kistler's Online Art Lessons from Homeschool buyers coop and he has done about one lesson a week. Slowly he is starting to take a little bit of interest in drawing with a little push from me.

My hubby has not had a raise in the past 3 years due to the Economy. Last year they made them take off two weeks and everyone got a pay cut. It stinks!

We met, fell in love and started dating (pretty much in that order) at age 15. We got married when we were 21. We have been married almost 12 years.

Are you worried because of your THyroid? I am hypothyroid and have Asthma. I end up on prednisone at least once (dose pack) or twice a year. For that short of a period of time it does not hurt.
It will be fine if taken over a five day period with you decreasing it. You may feel more tired but I am guessing since you are so sick you will feel that way anyway.
I personally just got over a two week MEGA virus that left me with hallucinations from high fever and unable to see in one eye (the viral pink eye was that bad and I still have sight problems). I thought I was dying. I ended up on prednisone and the ER DR gave me 60 MG over 4 days without decreasing. I started seeing spiders everywhere on that high of a dose ... my doctor said this is not uncommon with some people. So don't stress if you start seeing things. Just call your doctor.
Drink lots of water while on it and after to flush all the water weight you will gain out.
I hope it helps you get better quickly!

So it does. I am sure I had a reason for saving up at the time but now I don't remember what it was.
You can only cash out 5 $5 gift cards a month on swagbucks. Once you hit 5 you might as well save up for the $50. Or if you want you can wait until the next month to cash out. At some point though you probably will need to cash out another denomination and $50 is a better value than $25.

I have been getting at least $25 a month through swagbucks and some months get $75.
I just started zoombucks and have had pretty good luck at it too. You will want to use other email addy's for their offers as well. They have the same offer walls as swagbucks plus they do surveys, have daily points and search points. If you are good at or like to play games you can earn some points doing that.
Once you get 2000 points you can cash it out for a $20 Amazon gift card (or other retailer) and after the first one you can cash out at 1000 points ($10 gift card). I earned my first $20 at zoombucks within 7 days.
Between these two sites I am funding all of my kids Christmas gifts this year. I am just waiting on another $40 worth to pay for my oldest daughters last gift.

I am the OP on Slickdeals and thought I would post it here as well.

The original kick scooter just got a whole lot better, making it even more fun for kids and teens alike. Though it'll never replace the internal combustion engine, the Razor A3 will get your child from point A to point B much quicker than on foot alone, and requires just a few scoots of one's shoes in the process. Plus, it's a blast to use, as your progeny will likely attest.
The Razor A3 is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Razor combined the traditional aluminum construction, however, with a number of recent innovations, including a springless shock-absorbing system that makes bumpy pavement feel smoother than ever and an all-new wheelie bar that guarantees an extra dollop of fun. Add in such details as 98 mm urethane wheels, ABEC-5 high-speed bearings, a patented rear fender brake, and a patented folding mechanism and you have a great kick scooter for virtually any situation.
This version of the Razor A3, which supports up to 143 pounds and is recommended for ages 6 and older. It's also backed by a six-month warranty. For the next step up, try the Razor Pro.

We start with Bible. My daughter reads a story out of her bible daily and then we work on a lesson out of their lifepac or a "Bible project". We also read books about missionary's and rehearse our bible memory work for Awana during this time. The kids love starting with God and it normally makes the rest of the day go smoother.

Just could not see a Buffy post and NOT post that I MISS BUFFY!!!!
I cried for months after the final season (of course I had just had my first baby and was having major PPD). The only character that bothered me that much was Kennedy and you won't get there for a long while.

When I had my blighted ovum, I was told that it was a fertilized egg that for some reason never developed. I think I was around 9 weeks when I miscarried. (It's been over a decade, so the details are a little fuzzy.)
I'm so sorry.
This is what I experienced but it was about 8 weeks when I miscarried. :grouphug:

I have. After my second child I had emergency gallbladder surgery and at the same time they fixed an umbilical Hernia. I got over the gallbladder part quickly. The Hernia repair had to be drained a few times and hurt the full 6 weeks of healing.
I will pray that yours goes much more quickly

A handheld Staedtler pencil sharpener. Ours is kind of like this. It specifically has a "colored pencil" side.
This is what I have
