His Favorite Daughter

I know the day is over, but I’ve been busy with my own Mother’s Day. I hope you had a great one!

My family took me to Applebee’s for lunch. I’m not really hungry for supper/dinner (whatever you say where you live), but I didn’t get dessert at lunch. So, we’re going to get some dessert out. I think we’ll go to Dairy Queen and get some ice cream. Yum yum! Well, we’ll be going once my husband stops playing the Wii. LOL

Be blessed this evening, stay safe, and hopefully I’ll be more organized next week so I remember to write more often.

I’m not sure what the outside temperature was today, but it reached almost 88 in my house today. Since our electric bill has been out of sight during the winter (we have an electric furnace), I was hoping to avoid running the bill back up. Besides, it’s too early in the year to be running the air conditioner. I have, however, decided what we’re going to do with at least part of the money we get from the tax stimulus check - we’re getting a new ceiling fan for the living room!
How is it where you live? Has “old man winter” finally decided to go on vacation? Or are you still waiting for the first signs of spring to arrive? Whatever the weather where you live, please be in prayer for the families that have lost loved ones or their homes recently due to tornadoes, cyclones, or other forces of nature.

I know I haven’t been very faithful in keeping my blog up to date. I’ve had a lot of work to do recently, and I figured making some money was important. In fact, this is what I KNOW I have to do this month, so far: 12 work-at-home articles and 30 miscellaneous articles to write, a 7-9 page report to write, and I also need to finish editing 10 website modules. There may be other work for me to do, as well, but I don’t know for sure. Only time will tell.

So, as you can see, I keep pretty busy considering I do the writing on top of homeschooling. I’d love to say that I also care for the house, but that hasn’t been the case in almost 3 years due to health issues. I don’t even cook much anymore, which bothers me. But, at least I’m contributing to the family budget, so I’m not going to beat myself up too much about it.

Well, articles beckon, so I’d better get to it. Have a great Thursday! Tell your family that you love them, and remember to pray for those who need it around the world. Blessings!

What? You may ask. The Ultimate Home School Expo 2008, of course.

While the live expo may have wrapped up today, that doesn’t mean that the event is over. In fact, it appears that the event may be getting even better, if that’s possible.

Cindy Rushton, the mastermind behind the UHSE 2008, told those of us who attended the live event, that she had even more people signing up to host a virtual booth for the expo. So, if you’re interested in attending this even on your own time table, you can still sign up.

Go to the Ultimate Home School Expo and sign up before the price increases. If you purchase your ticket before July 1st, you can get it for $40; after that date, the price increases to $99.95.  Even at that price, you’re getting a bargain. Go to the website and see what all is included. It truly is ultimate!
