I totally forgot to mention that we got a new computer…how could I forget THAT excitement. We got a DELL Dimension E510 at a great price($649). It came with 1Gig of RAM and a 19 inch flat panel monitor…those were FREE upgrades. I found this a Dell.com under the Dell specials or Dell savings or something like that. We upgraded to an all in one photo printer…it is a flat-bed copier, scanner, and printer(photo)…So now I can make copies from all of these resource books I have and NOT have to go to the library and do it!! Woooo Hoooo!!! Thank u Jesus!! And what convinced dh to go for it is that with Dell financing u have up until October 2007 to pay it off before they start charging interest….Yippee!!

So that was something else that has been taking my time. I’m still trying to figure out how to get some of my important documents over here on the new comp.

Our old computer we will use for the kiddos to play their educational CD-roms on…Dh even suggested hooking the old one up to the internet so they can play games like disneychannel.com and cartoonnetwork.com.. They get these as a treat from time to time. But I don’t think they need internet access right now. I”m doing all the research and reading for their lessons…maybe later when they are older and begin to research for themselves.

..besides…. I think no internet access is the best parental filter there is…..:-)

Wow! I cannot believe it has been 3 weeks since I last posted. I’ve had a pretty busy 3 weeks so I guess I need to update….

1. We celebrated baby boy turning 2 on July 15…
2. We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on July 25
3. We celebrated my 40th b-day on Jully 29

Between and betwixt all of these we managed to do get thru some of our lessons. On days where we did not get to everything I placed priority on Bible, Arithmetic, then Spelling/Grammar/Handwriting/Poetry….something from that group.

The second week in August was vacation bible school, which slipped up on me. I was all prepared to start our lessons full steam ahead and then my mil reminded me of VBS…so that was our ’school’ for that week. My dc had a very good time…they love VBS at their uncle’s church…(uncle is Pastor).

So the week after VBS, the beginning of this week on Monday, dd came down with flu-like symptoms, the next day so did ds5, ds2, and myself. I’ve been out of commission for about 2 days. My dc seem to have recovered and I’m just starting to come out of the swimming blur my head was in….thank God the awful headache I had left last night…it was debilating and crippling. My mom had to come over and tend to the dc-fix them dinner and put them to bed for me(and cook for me, too). I haven’t felt that awful in a long time. But I’m feeling better now.

As far as our history unit we are supposed to be studying Geography of Creation this week. Three days of that has been shot but I’ve decided not to stress. In the next few days I’m going to be researching some biblical principles on the earth(and it’s individuality in the universe and solar system). I don’t plan on getting to elaborate, just accessing some websites that have terrific pictures of such(when I find them I”ll post them and share them).

Well I’m gonna go and put baby boy back in his bed for the 10th time tonight….talk atcha later!!
