Homeschoolin' Links

I'm updating this post as I find new programs. As of Sept. 17th we have finished off almost 3 weeks of this new curriculum and everyone is loving it!! ~Alicia

So... I'm in the process of putting together a new curriculum for the last part of this year & the next. I have looked at Ambleside a number of times, but have been intimidated by the looks of it. HOWEVER, with the prodding of my Cyber-Sister Cheri and the encouragement of my hubby, we are going to try this out.

Animal School Slide Show...

This is an incredible slideshow. It will ask you at the end to allow them to send you something, this is not required, just close it.

Seriously...

Ok, so I've had the leg wound, the infection that set in for 11 weeks, the bad sprain, the appendicitis, the colds and now... yes NOW I have aquired a new allergy to adhesives. I'm NOT kidding. Everywhere I have had a bandage (with adhesive) now has raised itchy skin.

I took the bandaids off Monday (5 days ago) and you can still see as plain as day where the bandaids were... my leg is a bit different, everywhere it has been covered with the adhesive bandage I have bumps that itch like crazy.

PLEASE keep my sanity in your prayers!! :o) The itching really drives me batty at times.

Off to take some benadryl and some caffeine to stay alert for the rest of the evening.
