Vacation Is Over!

So Here it is Ladies and Gentleman.
I took this break for a few reasons. I had somethings I really needed to do..home wise. Our basement project which I was really hoping to be done say Sunday will not be done until next week Probably Wednesday-ish photos will be posted!)

Then there were the kids..We started homeschooling Tornado and he has completed his second full week of Pre-K…we do three times a week . I have had to rework my schedule around this new item of joy. Tornado loves it and actually has been sleeping a lot better since we have been giving his brain a work out.

And then finally I have had some problems with wording some post idease i have had for some time..i guess writer’s block you could say….so what better to help with writer;s block is to get away from the problem. I was perhaps to hasty when i said no email or computer for a week. I forgot when i write that that hubby really counts on me to let him know when there is an amil he needs to respond to. So on Wednesday I started using the computer again!. I have been secretly reading all your blogs and catching up!!!

But no writing for me! That meant comments to other blogs or replies to email.. I really needed the clean slate to work with!

So the first post will be..NOT JUST A MOM BLOGGER

Then an excerpt from this will be used to replace my about me Section on my sidebar. Mentally i am still working on it so it could be later today or later tomorrow!

Anyway i just wanted to say i missed all of you very much and I hope you can understand my absence if not oh well.

I hate to have to do this but….

In almost 2 years of posting I hated to have to do it but in a matter of minutes of posting My wordless wednesday post I had 3 spam comments. One that REALLY freaked me out so here it is I have put the security word up and comment moderation. So I am sorry to all of my very good friends and readers! But I have to do it!

Once I check out your blog i will publish your comment. I am sorry for your inconvience but family safety comes first!

Blog Exhaustion

All i have to say is Whew!

I have typed six..make that seven posts today. spanning my three blogs.
I have had a lot of catching up to do because i wanted a good run at catching up before next week when we start a whole new chapter i our lives.

What’s that you might ask. Well Next Tuesday we officially start homeschooling Tornado. Yes he’s only three but as we have discovered over the past few weeks. He thrives on structured learning. I think his mind would benefit from being constructive..instead of destructive which has becoming a bigger problem.

He is so smart and knows how to do so many things. It’s time we start putting that creativity to better use..and fast. before my house becomes a bigger repair job than it already is…LOL. Ok maybe I’m exaggerating just a little but here is what i am planning to do schedule wise

2 Hours (nap time for the other 2)
first half hour->Reading a story
second half hour-> structured learning
third half hour-> recess–outside or an indoor physical game
fourth half hour-> coloring(sadly he does not even get the idea of coloring)….this will eventually turn into art. I have some other Arts and crafts projects set aside for him as well)

He needs some practice siting still we will gradually add a third hour by adding 5 minute increments in the spring semester..Listen to me talking in college talk. Anyway this will be an adventure for sure.
