The other day when I was in Wallyworld I couldn’t believe that the “Back to School” section was already up and the shelves were filled. Here school starts on August 18th. Don’t you think this is rushing it a bit? It kinda angered me to see backpacks, looseleaf paper, folders, pencil cases and folders while [...]

Church and School Volunteers
May 24, 2008 By 1 Comment
As a volunteer with my church I’ve had to go through a background check. This has come about in the last few years because of our insurance. We may be held liable if we knowingly allow someone to work with children who has had issues with the law, especially concerning sexual offenses. Along with that [...]

This morning I was able to attend Peanut’s honor roll ceremony. She has been doing very well in school (takes after her mom) and got AB Honor Roll for the third semester in a row. She only has one “B” and it’s in Math and it’s an 89. I’d hate to be a teacher and [...]

Kids Can Drive You Crazy…It Happened Today
April 4, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I love kids. I love their innocence, their curiosity, the ways they make me smile, the ways they try to make you love them, etc. I love helping at our church with children’s Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and other activities we have involving children. As long as I’m physically able to do it, I’ll [...]

Book Fair
April 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Peanut came home with her school’s book fair sales paperwork. I always allow her to buy a few books because she loves reading and I want to encourage that to continue, her school makes some money from the sales of the books and because you can never have too many books. The one thing that [...]

Spring Break
March 17, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Peanut’s school’s Spring Break isn’t until April 5th. Easter is March 23. I’m so confused about what’s going on this year that I think I may just crawl under a rock and stay there until next year. I know that the time for Easter is set by the phases of the moon in spring. This [...]

Homeschool Student No More
March 14, 2008 By 1 Comment
My daughter Peanut has a student in her third grade class that due to a severe medical condition cannot attend school. He has been homeschooled by his parents until this year. The school system has set up teleconferencing in his home and the classroom so that he is an active participant in the everyday activities [...]

I’m Confused
March 11, 2008 By 1 Comment
I woke up early this morning to get myself a shower and dressed. I wanted to be awake enough so that I could handle Peanut if she needed some extra hugging and attention this morning. She actually did fine. We got ready early so I could drive her to school early. The driving in and [...]

Ready for The Big Day
March 10, 2008 By 2 Comments
Peanut is tucked in bed. We said special prayers before bed about the FCAT testing that starts tomorrow. She got lots of emails from our church family telling her that they’re praying for her and that she can trust in God. She didn’t eat too much dinner as she started to get a little nervous. [...]

FCAT Testing
March 9, 2008 By 2 Comments
This week is FCAT testing (the standardized testing for public schools in the state of Florida). Peanut will be taking her first test this year. They begin on Wednesday and end on Friday. That’s a lot of testing for young children and a lot of pressure too. I wish that the state of Florida would [...]

Dentist Again
March 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I just realized that I have to take Peanut back to the dentist again. I feel like I should just move in. She’s due for her cleaning now. The first appointment we made was for 3:30 which was perfect. I don’t like her missing school and this time would allow her to finish school on [...]
