It does! LOL I know, I know, it's that time of the year. Everyone is busy but Mini Me has just added a whole new activity. She's in the Christmas musical at our church every year but somehow this year it's snuck up on us. I keep swearing every year that I'll have Xmas gifts sewn ahead of time and even this year I'm still working on them LOL Needless to say, life is crazy. Sorry but that's the brief end of the stick. I hope all is well in your world and I also hope I'll get to update better/more soon.

I enjoy Saturday mornings... It's my chance to do some reviewing and planning. I am on a Yahoo list that shares their homeschool blogs each Saturday and while they are traditional homeschoolers in every sense of the word, it still gives me plenty of stuff to draw from. I like getting ideas for books, projects and other things from them that Mini Me and I would enjoy doing together.
It seems as though I never blog anymore. Life has been somewhat busy though and we keep plotting along. I ju...

I just realized that I'm not posting a lot lately, sorry. It's been busy as usual but fortunately, next week is going to be a bit calmer. We only have chess on Monday, church on Tuesday, a health store run possibly Wednesday and shopping on Friday. I'm looking forward to spending today at home.
After deciding not to work as much it seems that my clients have other plans for me LOL They keep sending me more and more work! At least I'm not out actively looking for work so that does help. I...

“This week we want to…”
There's actually not much that Mini Me has asked to do. It's more stuff that I want to do. For instance, I really want to stay home and work on some of the numerous projects that seem to be so hit and miss with us. So much so that I've actually made a bag with my plastic canvas projects and yarn in it so I can grab them on the way out the door. However, there's still a lot of projects that we can't do that with and that I'd like to see us get a move on with (i...

I'm taking a moment to look forward to the week ahead with its many events and opportunities for learning:
- Tuesday we will get our hair cut (long overdo in my opinion) and go to Walmart before Mini Me has church that night.
- Wednesday I have an appointment to get my nails done while Mini Me is with her Pappy. Little does she know I plan on looking into her birthday cake too.
- Thursday is the library co-op. I need to make sure I have plenty of sewing to do LOL I finished the pumpkin and "boo" I ...

“This week we want to…”
I don't know about Mini Me but I want to spend some time at home. I'm so tired of being out running around everywhere everyday. Mini Me claims that she likes being on the go. One thing that we have done since Sunday is make some yummy fall treats including pear cake, pumpkin muffins and apple crisp.
“The kids are…”
Not a whole lot new going on. Mini Me is just going with the flow and keeping out of trouble LOL We don't really have any great big projects g...

I updated Mini Me's portfolio and was surprised to see an ebb in our flow LOL While it feels like we've been doing a lot lately, it all seems to be the same stuff... Maybe that's why we're growing bored. Of course, it could also just be that time of the year since we have been stuck inside now for 4 days straight as it's done nothing but rain (I swear I'm building an ark!). I've actually done so much plastic canvas that since last Thursday I've almost completed 2 new Halloween creations. ...

Some days are just easier than others...
Today was a somewhat easier day than the majority of them have been lately. I managed to get up and get my work done this morning before Mini Me crawled out of bed and we enjoyed pancakes for breakfast. After breakfast and a little housework we were off on errands. Once home again Mini Me sat down to do some math (4 or 5 digit addition problems) before we ventured out for a walk. I think that after yesterday's awesome walk (we saw a humming bird abo...

“This week we want to…”
This week we want to get into a better groove and also find some down time. I for 1 am sick and tired of running around and feeling like we are never home to get anything done.
“The kids are…”
Mini Me is still driving me nuts at home. I want her to do an hour of schoolwork a day just to make sure she is where she should be but I know we're unschooling and it's just me going nuts. Fortunately for her, I let her choose what she wants to do during that hour LO...
