Show me a day when the world wasn't new...

Homeschooling adventures update
week 2: EPIC FAIL
week3 (this week): a little better.
     *chutes and ladders again, except we used addition to determine the number of spaces to go instead of a spinner
     * "Your baby can read" flash cards and wipe-off books
     *Trying out a '50 states' poster, discussing U.S. geography in toddler terms
     *Trying out milk-paints idea from http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/, a sight which I am adoring right now. You should check it out!
     *I'm one email closer to enrolling MK in the Columbia Virtual Academy program. Pretty much just a bunch of paperwork left to shuffle.

Things that are awesome about life today:
     *My husband and kids are alive and well.
     *My craft area is finally starting to take shape and become a functional space for creating.
     * It's still warm outside!
     *I have lately been filled with gratitude for the wealth of relationships I have surrounding me. Thinking about all the friends I have is like looking in a treasure chest of priceless gems. I am blessed beyond a reasonable measure and I feel loved.
Things that suck about life today:
     *My best friend is moving to Texas this Saturday.
     *Another grandpa is dying of cancer.
     *I weigh as much as I did before I started training for a half-marathon. That is sad.

Something is in the air.  Can't put my finger on it, but there are new things on the horizon, just out of view but definitely on the radar.I seriously can feel "winds of change". That sounds so corny, but it's accurate. I'm looking forward to a new chapter...

If you read my blog, I love you.
