Busy Being Busy!
Thought I would give a little update as to our current activities.
Yesterday, Pam took Sam and Josie for testing in Siloam Springs. This will go on through Wednesday, and then it will be over. The testing is something required by the State of Arkansas and it actually does very little for anything other than letting the state see how we homeschooler’s are doing. The legislature in this state hates that not all students attend public schools. The public school also hates this because they are not getting funding from our children. The National Education Association hates this because they are not able to have a political influence on our children. In essence, we are considered renegades. Hopefully one day, we will be able to move to the land of the FREE (Oklahoma) where they allow the parents to be responsible for their children without having to live in fear of them.
I have been staying home with Aubrey and Katie and tending to the homestead. Laundry, dishes…and on and on. Actually, I’ve let things slip, as the old body hasn’t been too cooperative. Just running at low maintenance level.
Last week we went to Dab’s for supper where we had grilled burgers & dogs. Was good!
Last Saturday we went to Miracle’s birthday party at Donna & Kimmie’s house in Siloam Springs. The kids had a blast! The games were a big hit and Miracle won’t be short on purses for a while.
Later that evening, we went to Kent & Denise’s to get my lantern and ended up staying for supper, which was burgers and dogs from the grill. Was good! We ended up getting home just a little before ten, but all had fun.
Pam had to work that day and when she was done, I insisted she just go on home and have some “alone” time to recuperate from her non-stop schedule. She seemed to get a bit of rest.
That’s pretty much what we’ve been up to. We’ve got a pretty hectic Thursday and Friday this week as there are many audit’s to do, but such is life; anything to go toward the bills.
Till next entry…
