I actually got up and moved around today. Not too much, but enough to get a few things done. I still feel pretty rough. My neck is still swollen and my throat is still all covered with pus. The antibiotics are beginning to kick in so hopefully it won't be long before I am my old self again. I just hope Poogie doesn't get it so she can go to and enjoy dance camp next week. It is all she has thought about.
While spending most of my time lying in the bed I have been working on logging all our lessons for the upcoming school year into my Edu Tracker software program. I have finally figured most of the applications out and I really like it. I am focusing this week on TT's lessons. I really want to print his lessons so he can just check them off as he completes them. Then, I hope to focus on Poogie's next week.
Right now it what I have planned for TT seems overwhelming even to me. I really want to cover each subject well, but it is really hard to do without burning him out. I also have to work around co-op which begins in September, every Tuesday and Thursday. Those will have to be shorter days. I am thinking about not doing science or social studies those days or both. I guess I will just have to wait and find our rhythm.

I can't believe it I have strep!
I have no idea how I got it. I haven't been around anyone who has had it. All I can think of is I picked it up in a public place somewhere. I need to go to the doctor, but I hate to go. I have had strep enough to know that is what I have. I just dread sitting at a doctor's office for hours for them to tell me that I do have strep and then give me a shot or antibiotics.
What I also hate is that usually everyone in the house gets it too. So that means I have to pay for my visit and three others to the doctor. Our doctors aren't the kind to give you a prescription just in case others begin to have symptoms. No they want that 100+ office visit to tell you what you already know. I have began to distrust many in the medical profession. We have been through alot over the last 6 years with my hubby's health and they haven't proved anything to me except they want more money.
To top it off I will have to go to the walk in clinic because our family doctor has taken the summer off. The whole summer! Must be nice.
Oh, this week I get to take Poogie in for her Kindergarten shots. Yes, I know she will be in 1st grade, I didn't get them last year. She was scared to death and I am leery of the shots anyway. The appointments lady began to lecture me when I made the appointment after she saw Poogie's bday and wanted to know how she attended school without her shots. When I informed her I homeschooled she said that "it figures." If her pediatrician cops the same attitude I can tell you now we will not be receiving her shots nor any other care from him.
I have been reading and doing a lot of research on the subject of autism being linked to the use of vaccines. Now I have a college back ground in science, molecular biology and virology,before I met my hubby and I understand the whole purpose behind vaccines. I just think they need to look into this clear link between autism and vaccines. The CDC and doctors see it as a lottery of sorts saying you have a better chance of dying from the disease itself than getting hurt by the vaccine. But there are children injured by the vaccines, I have seen them. My feeling is that it has become more of a money maker than a life saver to the doctors.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox. I am sick and cranky. All I wanted to do this weekend was relax, scrapbook, go out with my hubby and take my son to a baseball game. Well, we tried to go out Saturday night but I had to come home because I was feeling sick. Today I spent it on the couch feeling quite yucky. Maybe next weekend will be better.

Books, Books and more Books
I have been cleaning, organizing and rearranging our school stuff to be prepared for the upcoming school year. I took some time today to take some pics of the extra books I have purchased for reference, exploration and extra reading.
I purchased most of these because they include required reading from TT's SOTW history and the science encyclopedias will help with our science units. I am very happy with the Kingfisher Encyclopedias. They have great graphics and are very interesting to read. 
If you haven't found the Horrible Science books yet you should give them a try. TT has been reading them over the summer. They may sound weird but they make learning about science fun and interesting. With TT I don't really have to make things more interesting for science he loves it anyway, but I couldn't resist these and I'm glad I didn't. I bought most of them on Amazon used and they were cheap.

These are just a few of the exploratory books I have purchased. The first is a great book about the body, a subject we will cover this year. It makes the learning very hands on.
The Great Artists book I purchased to go along with some lessons about different great artists and artistic styles. I also want to do some lessons on great composers but I haven't found a book I like for that yet.
Now all I need to purchase is a microscope or slide viewer for science. I'm still searching for what I want.

My New Patio Area
This is the result of our long, busy weekend. We are quite happy with our patio. This is a shot of the complete patio.
This is a shot of my wrought iron dinning set. I love it.
Here is my sitting area. Yes, I know the concrete is cracked. We plan on patching it. One thing at a time. It is so nice to have a place to sit and relax.
I love my bunny planter my hubby surprised me with. Isn't he cute.

Whew, what a weekend.
I thought weekends were for relaxing and unwinding! That is what I thought until my hubby and I decided to tackle some outside projects we have been putting off doing. You see I have wanted an outdoor space, deck or patio, for some time. We were planning on building two new decks one on the front and a bigger one on the back. Well, that was until my hubby went to the doctor and found out that he has a hernia and may need surgery. Surgery means no traveling for several weeks which means no more extra money.
So we decided to work with what we have. What we have is an old patio that is about 12 x 24 and a decent front porch. We reworked the front porch, painted and added some new mouldings and such. It looks really good. I have a before pic and will take one when it is all done in a week or so.
Instead of a big back deck we made our outside area using the existing patio. We put up a gazebo and bought some wicker furniture and a wrought iron dining set. My hubby redid my garden area and around the drive way with those castle stones. It looks wonderful. All I want to do now is buy an outdoor rug for the sitting area. That means another trip to Lowes. I actually like it more than a deck.
It is funny we have been to Lowes so many times in the last four days that some of the cashiers remember us. We do have a problem of underestimating what we need at times and that can mean several trips to the store.
It has been a long, hard weekend and I am dog tired, but it has been well worth it. I can't wait to post the photos of the finished product.

the host
I finally finished reading the novel The Host by Stephenie Meyer this evening and I have to say it was not what I expected. It was so much more. I am not a big sci fi fan when it comes to books. I love sci fi movies but not books about aliens. After some debate I finally purchased a copy of The Host and I haven't been able to hardly put it down.
The book ventures away from teenage love found in the Twilight series. It focuses on more adult drama and love. The center of all Stephenie's stories are love. I love that she can tie such interesting characters (aliens, vampires and werewolves) into such true love stories. I am still amazed at her imagination. She is ranks as one of my favorite authors. Now I only have to wait until Aug. 2nd to read Breaking Dawn the fourth and final book from the Twilight series.

The "Other Woman"
Yes, yes I know it is Father's Day, and my sweet hubby is having a nice one I believe. As part of his Father's Day present I have to mention the other woman in his life. She receives a lot more TLC than the rest of us. She takes up a considerable amount of his time. And she receives a lot more Bling than I do.
Who is this woman you might wonder? Well she happens to be much younger than me too. He hasn't even hit mid life so it can't be because of a mid life crisis that he would favor a younger gal. No it is because she has a lot more power than I do and can turn heads when we go out and about.
I'm not jealous as I used to be, but sometimes I wonder if things would be different if she wasn't so good looking. So the new slide show (which can be found at the end of my posts) is on my blog to celebrate the other woman in my hubby's life.

Don't you just love used book sales...
I had forgotten how great a used book sale could be. I used to love to go to yard sales too, but I just don't make time for them anymore. So last Friday Poogie and I went to a local used curriculum sale and I was very happy with my purchases.
I went in search of a reader that was missing from Poogies reading group from BJP. I purchased it used as in on line and it was missing one of the readers. Plus, she is wanting a Science curriculum like TT's. I was planning on doing unit studies that went along with TT's lessons. I found a great one but the girl had already sold it. Darn. I hope she will be happy with the unit studies. I don't think a 1st grader really needs a full science curriculum.
As an addition to our science studies I bought a great set of books, The Explore and Learn series from Southwestern books. They are full of info on the kids favorite science subjects. Plus I got the whole set that is like new for $20.

Summer Fix It Projects.
Summer To Do List:
I have been planning out the projects that I want to complete this summer. It may be a little advantageous but I hope to complete most of them. So here it goes.
1. Paint and decorate Poogies bedroom.
2. Paint TT's bedroom.
3. Clean and Paint front porch. (In progress)
4. Landscape around front porch.
5. Paint Master bedroom and bath.
As you can see most projects involve painting. I don't mind the actual painting just the moving of everything to get to the walls. I know it is worth is when it is done after completing our living room, kitchen and kids bathroom, but I still dread it. I would much rather just do the decorating. However, I am way too cheap to pay anyone to paint my walls when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself.

I know you are there!
The numbers show that many of my friends have been stopping by my blog, but nobody is leaving any comments. I know I'm not the best at commenting on blogs but I am starting to feel like I can here crickets chirp its so quiet out there.
I also know that my last few blog entries have been out there. I will try to do better.
I have been trying to work out ways to have fun this summer and still be able to eat and pay the bills. With the high cost of gasoline I am looking at more frugal ways to entertain ourselves. The kiddos desperately want to go to Chattanooga to Lookout Mountain and the aquarium, but we have put that on hold until it cools down a little and the school kids go back to school.
My other options are to try to do things that are free or close to it. There isn't a whole lot to do around here. Many of the things are planned as school trips for the fall, Civil War battlefields, Indian mounds and such. I am thinking I will take them to the Memphis Zoo one Tues. and the Pink Palace Museum another Tues. afternoon since you can enter with a valid TN drivers license after 2 and it is free. The gas will cost some but not as much as full entry to either places any other time.
Our pool has been a life saver. The kids have been in it almost every day. I have been in it a
lot too. It was well worth the money.
We may still plan a trip to visit my SIL in Georgia. She is only a about an hour from the beach. The only issue is trying to find a time to go that works for everyone. Ug, schedules.

27 Dresses
Today has been a day of deep thinking and the need to express my true feelings, as you can tell by my previous post. These feelings are ones that have come about over time. Over years of being the one who always tries to make everyone else around me feel wonderful, to never hurt their feelings and to do anything asked of me by them. In turn I have ended up hurt, used and betrayed. No, this is not from pent up anger. I was just feeling guilty about my new idea of actually being myself, saying no, and by golly just enjoying life for once.
So here I sit tonight with my hubby watching the movie 27 Dresses and we are both like OMG that is so you (i.e. me). Katherine Heigl's (don't know if I spelled that right) character is one of those people that is so caught up in being the perfect friend and doing for others that she forgets about herself. Now I haven't ever been a bridesmaid, but I have been taken advantage of by the people around me a lot. Sure, I can do so and so for the school, church, etc. etc. I couldn't say no. And then right after my 36th birthday something just clicked. I began to say no and it felt so good.
If I could only say no to some of my demanding family members I would really be doing good. Well, I am a work in progress.

Coming Clean
Ever since I moved to Tennessee 13 years ago I have had a hard time acclimating myself with the different way of life here. I mean it is only 350+ miles from where I grew up but it feels at times like a million miles away.
I completed my last 7 years of school in a very small town. I mean small, we had 31 students in our graduation class. It was small, safe and not fashionable at all. People lived in all sorts of dwellings. Popularity in school did not require you to live in a fabulous home, in the right neighborhood. Your parents did not have to drive the most expensive vehicles. And almost every one's clothes came from Wal-mart or JC Penney. It was nice.
That was what I knew. Now fast forward to my life now. Everything is about what kind of house you have, what you drive, where you live, what kind of clothes you wear. It is all about status. There are people going broke trying to keep up with everyone else.
So here is where I come clean. We live on my hubby's family farm in West Tennessee. We have lived here for all but 2 years of our 13 year marriage. And now here's the clincher, we live in a mobile home. Yes, for the last 8 years we have been living in a single wide mobile home.
I have lived through the smirks, the looks, and the horror on peoples faces when they find out we live in a mobile home. It gets old really quick. Some even act like we are beneath them. We are not worthy of their presence. Our status in the society is not even on the radar. These looks and actual opinions expressed by others used to bother me. But now things are just different.
I have reached that point in which I really don't care what others think about where I live. As long as I am happy that is what matters, and I am happy. Yes, I do want a nice home to raise my family. But, if that means I have to send my kids back to school so that I can work to pay for this home, then that doesn't work for me. We are planning to build a home on our part of the family farm in a year or two, but I am happy with our lives now.
I feel even better now watching and hearing about so many loosing their homes because they have more than they can handle financially. I love my little mobile home even more.
Then there is the fact that we have went to look at homes that I feel comfortable buying, price wise that is, and they have been smaller, and just as cheaply built as most mobile homes. Don't think so.
So there you have it. I have come clean. Yes, I live in a mobile home, a nice one, and I am proud of it.

I can't wait!!!!!
I was on I-tunes this evening and found out that I could download the trailer to the movie Twilight onto my i-pod! I was so excited. I also found a photo of Bella and Edward to post here. I am counting down the days till 12-12-08.
They are the perfect Bella and Edward!
For those of you who haven't heard of or read Stephenie Meyer's young adult series Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse it is excellent. I am awaiting the fourth and final book of the series Breaking Dawn. While I wait I just started reading her first adult novel The Host. It is more sci fi but so far I really like it. If you like vampires and werewolves these are great reads.

Okay, let me hit the pause button!
I wish I had a pause button sometimes, especially for days like yesterday and today. It has been CRAZY around here. Let me begin saying that planning doesn't go well when any part of the plan involves your hubby arriving home and on time via an airplane.
Let me explain. First, I would like to take you to my dream weekend. It began with a Saturday of going to the local Wally World and purchasing some furniture I have been wanting to get for lounging around our pool and to have a comfy place to sit while the kids swim. Then I would help my hubby with the yard work. Sunday would be a day of leisure. The hubby wanted to take the kids to see Kung Fu Panda and I was going to spend a quiet afternoon at home scrapbooking. Ahh, so sweet.
Now lets get back to reality. My hubby was to return home yesterday evening via an airplane. As you may have guessed this did not occur. He made it as far as Chicago O'Hare on his return trip from Canada and all flights coming our way were cancelled. Then he couldn't get on another flight until maybe late Saturday or sometime Sunday. Oh, and since so many flights were cancelled most of the hotels were booked up. He calls and asks what can we do. He so did not want to stay in the airport for two days. He has spent the night in a few and it is not his favorite thing to do. He had been up since 2:30 am and was exhausted. I put on my thinking cap and finally I ask him to try to get at least half way by bus. I mean I wasn't really in the mood to drive 8+ hours to Chicago with 2 kids. He ended up not being able to get a bus out last night, but there was a hotel room available near the bus station. I booked him a seat for a early, early morning ride. He didn't have any luggage. It was all at the airport (they had misplaced his luggage, go figure). TT and I drove up and met him today. The only big plus was that we had to eat Jack in the Box tacos. Darn!! So after over 7 hours in a bus and 4 to 5 in our car he is home. Whew, I'm still spinning and a little nauseous from all those tacos.
This has been a heck of a week. It seems like everyone has wanted a piece of me this week and there isn't much left for the weekend. Now instead of relaxing tomorrow I get to spend it driving my hubby 80+ miles to the airport to retrieve his truck and hopefully his luggage.
I know next week will be brighter. Here is hoping.

Just can't get back in the saddle.
As my weight loss journey continues I find myself unable to get back in the saddle. For 5 to 6 weeks I followed the plan to the tee. I wasn't ever hungry and felt better than I had in years. Now after having a sinus infection, major dental work and a vacation I just can't get back on track.
I am still loosing weight at the rate of about 2 pounds a week but I haven't exercised since my dental procedure and I have been cheating quite a bit when I eat. The main problem is that it makes me feel yucky and I know if I just stopped I would feel better. I just can't.
I plan on going to the grocery store Sunday and planning my meals for next week just like I did when I started. I also want to get back to exercising if its no more than walking on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I will do better!

Summer Break?
I was thinking that as of today our summer break would officially begin. Poogie completed her dance recital yesterday and now we are free of commitments until mid July. I don't know what i was thinking. Today, was full of all the stuff that had to be set aside the last week or so due to dance, school, and other daily dramas.
I have spent the day doing laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Hopefully, I will get to start summer break soon. Of course, I rarely get a truly free day. It would be nice, but a few free hours would do.
I did take a few hours Saturday to spend with the kids in the pool. It was cloudy and warm. Just perfect. I ended up getting a little too much sun, but it was nice. I know, I know that you can burn even on cloudy days, but I even had sunblock on.
Saturday night my hubby and I went to see Sex and the City. We were both huge fans of the series. My hubby actually counted down the days till the premiere. It did not disappoint. I cried and laughed. It just made me miss the series even more. Sniff. Sniff.
Well off to cook dinner.
