Whirling, Whirling

Is it April? It's April, isn't it? How can possibly be April? Eh? April's almost over? You have got to be kidding me!

Ellen at Fun Learning invited me to write about my homeschooling highlights of last week. Hmm. Let's see, what was last week? Did we learn anything? I'm sure we must have. Certainly we learned something! But as far as highlights go, I'm not sure there was one - unless it was the frantic pace of our lives this month, as seen through a haze of Benadryl.

That seems to be the theme of our lives, lately. Worky, work, Busy-Bee. Time goes whirling on by, and I'm hanging on, flappin' in the wind. Part of that is a result of over scheduling activities. I have made the executive decision to do less next year and have taken steps to ensure that happens. Given up telling people yes for Lent left me feeling empowered! Part of the recent craziness is just do to the time of year. Everything is blooming, and outdoor activities and sneezes abound.

Whatever the reason, I am putting myself in timeout for five minutes now to visit a new site called Out My Back Door. It belongs to my internet buddy who was transplanted to Louisiana. She takes great delight in taunting me with photos of home! (Just kidding!) I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you've never been to Louisiana, just consider it a field trip!

Alrighty, then. Time out is over. Back to the whirl!

Ooh, another cat lover, I see! Always good to meet more of those.

I've found that we learn a lot from those busy real life experiences. It's too bad that the beauty and excitement of Spring has to be overshadowed by nasty allergies.

Thanks so much for participating in the first edition of this meme. I'm glad that so many moms decided to join in. I'm going to keep it going during summer, too. Even though our family doesn't officially homeschool during summer, there is still a lot of learning going on.

Goodness where is everybody on this homeschool hi light week. ive gone to several blogs now that took part and there are no comments. I just wanted to say that I so relate to the busy week. Sometimes we get so busy its hard to find the highlights! :)

I've gone to several blogs, too. Unfortunately, they were blogger blogs and wouldn't let me comment. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I've yet to figure out what it is!

For now, I'll just have to read.

Oh, thanks so much for those blog props! I hope to see a few more visitors to the site after the big promotion here.
I've enjoyed seeing things to take pictures of in the future...just don't want to use them all up at once! : )

I'm wondering how it got to be April, also. January - March is supposed to be the slow time of the year!

April? I thought it was only February. What in the world?
