I received this in an email today, I thought it was cute!
14 Days of Homeschooling
To the tune of "Twelve Days of Christmas."

On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Can you homeschool legally?"

On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"
On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the fourth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the fifth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "YOU ARE SO STRANGE! What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the sixth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "How long will you homeschool, YOU ARE S0 STRANGE, what about P.E. , do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the seventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?"

On the eighth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Why do you do this, look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E. do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?"

On the ninth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "They'll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E. do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?"

On the tenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "What about graduation, they'll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the eleventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "I could never do that, what about graduation, they'll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the twelfth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "Can they go to college, I could never do that, what about graduation, they'll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they're missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?"

On the thirteenth day of homeschool I thoughtfully replied: "They Can go to college, yes you can do this, they can have graduation, we don't like the prom, we do it cuz we like it, they are missing nothing, we'll homeschool forever, WE ARE NOT STRANGE!, We give them P.E., and we give them tests, they are socialized, AND WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!

On the fourteenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, "How can I get started, why didn't you tell me, where do I buy curriculum, when is the next conference, WILL PEOPLE THINK WE'RE STRANGE? I think we can do this, if you will help us, we'll join a sports team, and we'll homeschool legally."

Whatever my God ordains is right

One of my links on this blog has been for Jessica. It read Pray for Jessica. I will be taking the link down today. Jessica passed away last month. Rex and I went to the visitation with a couple of people from church that also practice Tae Kwon Do. Please remember to pray for Jessica's parents.

May this hymn be theirs:
What-e’er my God ordains is right:Holy his will abideth;I will be still what-e’er he doth,And follow where he guideth:He is my God; Though dark my road,He holds me that I shall not fall:Wherefore to him I leave it all.
What-e’er my God ordains is right:He never will deceive me;He leads me by the proper path;I know he will not leave me:I take, content, What he hath sent;His hand can turn my griefs away,And patiently I wait his day.
What-e’er my God ordains is right:Though now this cup in drinking,May bitter seem to my faint heart,I take it, all unshrinking:My God is true; Each morn anewSweet comfort yet shall fill my heart,And pain and sorrow shall depart.
What-e’er my God ordains is right:Here shall my stand be taken;Though sorrow, need, or death be mine,Yet am I not forsaken;My Father’s care Is round me there;He holds me that I shall not fall:And so to him I leave it all.
(Samuel Rodigast [1675], translated by Catherine Winkworth [1829-1878])

Crash

I was in a fender bender last weekend. I must say I felt very safe in my SUV. The car behind me was totaled. It completely bounced off of me. Traffic came to a complete stop on the interstate! I know…it probably happens everyday!

The kids and I had a wonderful time in S.D. It was so relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about chores or schedules.

I started running with a lady from co-op, I told her up front I hate to run. I know it’s good for me though. So now I am into a little running club. I have been really exercising a lot lately. Lifting weights is going extremely well. Last night at TKD practice I could barely lift my leg for a round kick though, I used muscles in my legs from running that morning that were SO sore. Hopefully that will be the worse it gets. On the calorie counter.com site that I am a member of there is a blog that goes along with the food journal, so from now on I will post about my diet and exercise of there. I can’t believe I waited 3 years to do this though. Better late than never!!!!!
