A Few Things

We had some ice today. I don't think is was as as bad as the weather people thought it would be.
**If you have been following Lori and her baby, Lori is now out of the hospital and on her way to her baby! Please pray that they get many answers to what is happening with their baby girl.

My kids just love the Jeff Corwin videos. They have laughed, and screamed (actually, that was me screaming at the snakes), and totally enjoy these! Right now they are watching the Insects and Arachnids. I have to say, Mr. Jeff, you are crazy! There is no way that I would put a spider on my face! Anyway, there sometimes is reference to evolution but I'm not going to stop watching a video because of this. We explain this to the kids and move on. We would be missing out on alot of educational information if we worried about this.

Yesterday, I finished "The Children of the Longhouse" by Joseph Bruchac. This is another one in which I didn't think we would like. It was very good. We "followed" a young indian boy (in the late 15th century) while he was being hasseled by older boys, his relationship with his sister, and becoming a young man. I wanted to cry near the end but I held it in knowing that I would be teased unrelentlessly. ~LOL~

Our next book is going to be "The Light in the Forest" by Conrad Richter.

Next week I will be taking Katie to a nutritionist. She really needs to get back on vitamins and we need to help her get proper sleep. She has been taking melatonin but I think I'd like to try something else. She also has an upcoming dr. appt. I honestly do not want to increase her medication. I know she is on a very low dose compared to other children but I really don't like medications. This dr. is very good and listens to everything I say. He also has a child with autism.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
