Homeschooling

I love homeschooling now, at first when I started homeschooling i felt it was just something that just had to be done, NOW it is something that we do all the time. You learn in everything you do. While math,reading,spelling,science,history,etc.. are all important I think every day life is so much more better a learning experience than anything. My kids can clean a whole house, fix a huge breakfast, start a fire in the fireplace, change diapers, calm a fussy baby, etc.. I never could of imagined doing that and I am sure they would not know how if they were still in public school. I am amazed and what they learn. Today we are doing math and then the older ones are mixing up finger paints for the younger ones to paint with. Then the older ones will go back to spelling after a brief period of finger painting with the younger ones. I dunno I am just coming to the realization that homeschool is not what I first thought of it, ever thing in life is a opportunity to learn. I am not so uptight about it now since I understand this!

First Midwife appt.

Everything went well. Got to see the little peanut. :) From my ultrasound she gave me a due date of October 6th. Baby's heart rate was 128 . So here we go, the start of another journey. I have not been feeling well at all. The midwife seemed to think it was something with my eyes but I just think this pregnancy is kicking my backside. I have dizzy spells, blurry vision, then comes the awful migraine. Please pray for me, it is hard for me to keep things going around here when I feel so horrible.
On a bright note my wonderful dh gave me 12 dozen roses and a huge balloon that says I love you for Valentine's Day. Best gift he could of given me. We were suppose to get to go off this weekend while my parents tended to the kids but the weather put a damper on that so we are shooting for the middle of March now. I cannot wait to get off with just dh and me for just a bit. don't get me wrong I love my kids but dh and I need that time together as well. Good thing the weather did keep us from going because the 3 littlest ones are not feeling well. Just the cold type of stuff.
Here is my menu plan
Monday 15th- Chicken Nuggets and some sort of potatoes and a veggie
Tuesday 16th-Lasagna , bisquits
Wendsday 17th-kids church
Thursday 18th-Roast with potatoes and carrots
Friday 19th- Hamburgers and Augratin Potatoes

I will not be eating alot of the potatoes and such , and sometimes I will be substituting for a salad with spinach in it. I am trying to maintain my weight this pregnancy since I am the biggest I have been starting off.

Too much to post about

The devil is really working on me right now so please say a little pray for me and my family. Since I last posted that little one is a bit better, over a week later and he still has a cough and runny nose but is better. Most everyone got it this past week besides two of the older ones but then one of them is now not feeling well.I had to take my 2 yr old to the er tonight due to his ear bleeding so much and him just crying frantically and coughing. Drops were given for the ears and antiobiotics. Said it did look like his ear drum was fixing to rupture and that he had bronchitis. On top of sickies all week we also went through something financially . It was my fault and I am so sick. My husband took it really well though.God has done a huge work in him!! Other things happened this week but I am extremely too tired to blog about them.
Please remember the people, especially the babies and young innocent children in Haiti!!!!

The CROUP and what a few snowflakes do to our little town- ugh!!

Well our 1 yr old has the croup. It has so not been fun at all. He started Thursday night with the seal bark and the wheezy sounds. I usually try to take care of everything at home but I knew this could go bad and just recently my nephew got out of the hospital with something similar. I called my doctor's office to make a appt. and they were CLOSED!! They were closed because we had a few flakes the night before and they were closed due to weather. UGH!!! How crazy is that. So I called my old peditricians office and they made him a appt. So needless to say we are switching back over that, not only because of this but because of some other things as well. LIke another reason is they are not big family friendly or haven't been to me. But back to what I was talking about there was NO snow on the ground and you would of thought we had many inches, the schools were closed, and the our doctor's office. I hope you northerner's get a good laugh out of this one. :) But anyway he just said he had the Croup. He still is feeling horrible and now developing a wierd looking rash on his face. IT has been a longgggggggggg two days.
