In My Life and In Our Homeschool This Week:
My week all started off with loads of rain so much that we had some localized flooding in our area by Wed. I became really thankful my kids are at home, once again, because I've been thankful more than once when they were home and not off at the public schools away from us~And then we have continued to work really hard in our schooling! They have logged in some incredible time in their educations since doing Virtual Academy.
Did I tell you that our cats got into some medications, and we had to search the floors cleaning them very well to be sure they didn't eat any??? LOL...well, sooo let's just say I got a head start on our spring cleaning! whoohoo! We worked so hard today scrubbing floors, walls, baseboards and it looks marvelous~THANKS CATS! LOL
My Favorite Thing This Week was...
Besides the health stuff for me, I just LOVED reading my kid's papers and school work that they are doing in the virtual academy! I can read the assignment submissions from their dropbox folders of all submissions I want to, and I was thrilled to read their work. My son amazed me and had me laughing aloud when I saw in one assignment which was 'class participation' where the students all commented in a forum type activity and HE POSTED LINKS of screen shots from his computer to illustrate his points...ha! YOU GO, son!! I loved it~soo techy and MY BOY! I love to see them excell~and daughter got a 100% on her biology test~AMAZING! (THIS is the class that the enrollment counselor said might give her problems....uh...no...but math, is another thing! But more on that, later....)

What's Working/Not Working For Us...
My computer crashed last week~BUMMER! And so I struggled~am still struggling to stay on task with my duties! I MISS my files and pics~Hub was able to restore me to factory settings, but what a RUDE AWAKENING to have it all go to the 'blue screen of DEATH!'
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...
WHEN IS spring break and SUMMER?? LOL... (We've been YR rounders most all of our academic careers~THIS is a BIG CHANGE!) ;-))
HERE'S A PIC, okay, three...LOL~

What a great encouraging post today! Things are going well for you and yours and it brings a smile :)
Congrats on the weight loss- sugar is a bad area for me... but fortunately I don't use it in my coffee (I drink way too much of it and wowzers if it had sugar!).
Great to hear both of your kiddos are doing well with the virtual academy. GOOD JOB!!
I'm thinking that high school would be very different than the elementary grades. I'm still not impressed with our/my experience but that is alright. It won't have caused any harm that I can see :)
Hope your weekend is swell and your next week is peachy!
