Because I work at home and homeschool, I am always lookimg for cool new stuff to help me get everything done.

Check this out- I thought it looked pretty cool. It could be used with homeschoolers or for public schoolers to catch up or retain info over the summer.

My daughter is pretty computer literate, so I may have to check this out and utilize it!

I love the name, too!

JUst had to share... see you tomorrow!

Ok, I'm not moving, but my other blog, At Home On Wheels, is. I wanted to be able to monetize it, and have found a way here:

Go to the $Blogging page

There's a short video and a description of how it works. Very cool!

If you are already blogging, why not make money at it?

It is so simple, and it is on wordpress, so they have some really nice templates.

Moving On....

Friday Fragments

Did you complete and send in your census? Believe it or not, I did! Haven't done my taxes yet, but.................

How's your weather? Ours was gorgeous for a few days, now it's back to brrrrrrrrrrrrr........

Guess that rules out the barbecue I had planned for tomorrow- guess I'll be making that ham dinner I've been hankering for.

Can you believe the year is almost 1/3 of the way over? It seems like I JUST put the Christmas Stuff away!

I think I need a drink!

Better go visit Ann for a Virtual Girls Night Out!

Why not join us?

Virtual Girls Night Out.........


And don't forget to check out the other Friday Fragments............

It's been busy, busy, busy as usual. Little Man was here for a for a couple of days...that's always a good, yet distracting time:-) Monday was was all about home business stuff, homeschool and puppy training.

Tuesday was homeschool co-op and business. We canceled Girl Scouts as the other leader and I (along with our daughters) were the only one's there.

Yesterday Princess Der and I went to the river in a near by town when I was done with my business calls and a few other things. It was around 60 degrees at our house. Princess Der took that as a sign to wear a t-shirt and no sweatshirt or coat. I TRIED to tell her- it's a bit cooler near the river...but does she believe me?

NO.................

I even told her that I had cleaned out the car the other day, taking my winter coat and her spare coat out of the trunk. No back-up. Does she care?

NO..................

It was COLD and WINDY near the river..........................

So our walk was pretty short...I only made her suffer a little while................

We did go grab some (late) lunch at a place across the bridge.

Then went home, hoping tomorrow- which is today- would be nicer.

It's a little after 9 a.m. and I don't hold much hope for that. Brrrr............

Recession? What Recession?

During my research looking for an Rv or Trailer I am amazed at the prices some of these things cost, even used ones!

I'm even more amazed how many people pay these high costs....some of them are so young! I mean, where does someone in their 20's get $45,000 for a rig? Many state that they pay cash!

Judging by all the families on the road..........I have to ask, what recession?

Of course, many have sold their sticks and bricks home to finance their dream....

For those looking for work....

People on the road often work wherever they go........according to one woman, there is work everywhere you go, you just can't be too picky. Some places even like temp workers..........of course if you are maxing out unemployment, it's hard to accept minimum wage.

Anyway, thought I would mention that.

Now, I must go get some breakfast, then get my derrier in gear.

Hope you'all have a great, prosperous day.

Little Man's Mom and Dad went to mediation Friday. Little Man will be back in the house 4 days on, 3 days off; 3 days on, 4 days off. He has grown so much in a few weeks.

He has gone from being obsessed with cars and trucks (he calls them all truck) to cars, trucks and books! That makes me happy. I feel books are our best friend.

Today is Friday, which means Friday Fragments at Half Past Kissing Time, Virtual Girls Night Out AND Field Trip Friday!

 

 

 

Friday Fragments

Am I going crazy here?

It seems to me that every time I walk into a store lately, they have changed it around. I find myself wandering around much longer than necessary trying to locate items that they have moved on me. By the time I walk out the door, I have forgotten where my car is.....

Dust Bunnies at work?

Why is it when I leave the house for a few hours, there's an inch of dust on everything when I return............

...................I'm SURE it wasn't there when I left!

I'm a Proud Momma!

The Golden Child made honor roll again! Yeah! That's my baby boy.

And a new momma!

We're getting our puppy Monday night. For those of you who don't know, we are training a dog for Canine Companions. We will be blogging about our training and experiences raising a puppy - the RIGHT way :-)

Did you go on a field Trip this week? Share it HERE

Yesterday was both a homeschool and work at home success! Princess Der finished her "paperwork" around 12:15 or so. She needed very little assistance and got everything right except one math problem. I'll have her correct that today. I think I got more work done yesterday morning than I have in a long time!



In the afternoon, we went to the bank, put a few flyers out and then went to get goat feed. We also got supplies for a science experiment that was in her science work book we got. It was to show how water moved through rocks in the ground. Here are some pics:

OOPS! A little accident!

That's ok, this teacher didn't get mad or ridicule!


In fact, this teacher dumped thistle seed all over when filling the bird feeder realizes we are all human and make mistakes!



We laughed and worked together to clean it up.

The Finished product!














While supper was cooking on the grill, we partook of a game of horseshoes (gym time!)Despite the fact that Princess Der has major problems with the hands (cannot close her hands all the way due to arthritis), she can throw those horseshoes pretty well (...and she gives a mean back rub!)Here's a pic of her- excuse the tongue....its a family thing...in almost every picture of my dad (now deceased)he is sticking out his tongue. Many pics of my oldest son and my nephew are the same!








My "Princess"









The Princess started her work around 8 a.m. today. My neighbors grandkids are over and they always want Princess to come over. The kids are 2 and 4. My daughter loves helping out, so she wants to be done so she can go over for an hour or two. Then, she has another doctors appointment to have her shot again. They are going to have her give it to herself and if she does ok, we are on our own from here on out!

Anyway, must get to work. Until later...bye, dudes!

Ok, guys the winner of my ad space give-away for the month of July is Kris , who has two blogs:

Hands, House, and Heart Full

and

Like A Child



Congrats, Kris!

Everyone go on over to Kris' blogs and give a big ya-hoo!

On to other things...

My sis is coming up from Virginia Thursday and staying (in state) until the 12th- Ron & I fly out for Dallas and the convention on the 8th. So been busy with all that & then the homeschooling business on top of that. Yikes!

I picked up a set of 6 Video's of the "Great Events of the 20th century" at a second hand store today. Thought they may be interesting to look at. We also went to the library and I got more books on homeschooling. Anyway, have to go let Kris know she won!

Until later....
