I will be starting my 19 year of home schooling on Tuesday, Sept. 2.  I purchased these treats from Target for my soon to be 8th grade students.  Wonder if they will really last until then?  lol

Speaking of starting our home school year, you must read this excellent blog post by Lisa from Four Simply Living!  I loved it!

How Fun! Vol. 38

how-fun-2

“How fun!” I find myself exclaiming this many times throughout the week. Here are just a few things that touched me or made me smile:

I promise you, I have not disappeared. I had every intention of hosting the Whatever is Lovely link-up party last Friday. My body had other ideas.

Last Wednesday evening, Aug. 13, I was walking through our dark house to retrieve something from the kitchen. I walked into a dining room chair that wasn’t where it was supposed to be. It was obvious to me that a toe on my left foot was broken. I touched it and it popped. Ouch! I instantly felt light-headed. Everyone was upstairs. I settled myself down and then made my way upstairs.

I found Ed and told him that I felt like I was going to throw up or pass out. After sitting down, I did the latter. Apparently I was making odd gurgling sounds which made Ed think that I was choking. He was able to get me to the floor while my son called the ambulance.

Fortunately, I was fine. It was not necessary to go to the hospital. After all of the dust settled, I found that I had injured my left knee in some way when I fainted. I spent two days in my bedroom because I could not make it down stairs. I am still hobbling around and haven’t been doing much.

So, that’s what happened to last Friday’s blog post. I’m beginning to be able to chuckle about it.  🙂

Thank you for all of your prayers for my step-father.  We were able to visit last night and he and my mom were in good spirits.
