We manage to keep fairly BUSY all the time with homeschooling. I sometimes manage to update my regular (Coleman Chaosity) blog, but clearly am falling behind on this one.
We've been on several field trips and tomorrow is the last day of Treehouse. There's also a big meeting there to set up officers and such, and decide classes and organization as one of the founders is moving away, and the other two (founders? I guess?) don't want to assume the presidency or vice presidency of the organization. I did not volunteer for Pres. or VP exactly, but did say that I would be willing to fill one of several other positions. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.
Wednesday we have a fieldtrip to the Stanley's tire bale home in Rogers. It sounds- well, tedious at best to me (from their perspective, I mean if *I* were building a tire bale home) but ought to be an interesting fieldtrip. Here are some links about it: FreShare article and Zimbio article. I recently heard something about filling plastic 2-liter bottles with concrete for insulation? I'll try to remember to take my camera.
Never having found the Saxon math items I was purported to have, I've decided to try Sinapore math for real now. My understanding is that is isn't repetitive, and once you 'get' it you can move on. DBall doesn't love rehashing the same thing over and over.... it kind of traumatizes him. I'm optimistic this math will 'work' for him.
I've yet to find anything other than what I call "comic books" (graphic novels, Peanuts books, Marvel comics all bound together, etc.) that DBall will read without complaining. He does enjoy the Black Lagoon series, but they're really short and he's read all that we can find here. I love to read, and I just can't understand why he doesn't love it?! Well, obviously I know his father hates to read so clearly he gets it from his father. What I guess I don't understand is why he got the OCD and perfectionism from me, and couldn't at least have gotten my love for reading as well.
Alright my head is pounding. I think I've found a Dr. who in theory accepts my medical insurance and also prescribes Armour Thyroid. I need to make an appointment with him for myself this week. Also need to make dental appointments for DBall and I at a new dental practice nearby. Aball has made himself an appointment with a LASIK surgeon to have his surgery the last week of May.
