Thursday 13- Hair Still On Fire!

13 Things TLC Did This Week No pictures this week...Blogger is having some issues and I couldn't publish them. It was all I could do to get this published! 1. Attended the first meeting of our Jr. High Core church group, both as a parent and as a leader 2. Attended the Youth Welcome Picnic (also for our church) at a nearby park and was part of the team that won the water balloon relay! 3. Went to the Craft Store to get JBug some supplies for her Science Project...stopped by Del Taco on the way home for drive-thru for dinner. 4. Went to a meeting on the Cast Party and volunteered to bring brownies, ice cream and toppings, and to burn the music CDs. 5. Took the kids to play at Hullaballoo's, an indoor amusement center with slides, karaoke and climbing wall. Met some friends there. 6. Attended Park Day for my LLL Group. Got into a "discussion" with a friend of mine about politics. Never a good idea. Yes, we are still friends, we just agreed to disagree. but she's still wrong 7. Took JBug to a mandatory meeting for those who want to volunteer at the library this summer. 8. Went to Berean Christian Bookstore toting one child wearing boots fashioned from paper bags, another child wearing pink madras plaid shorts, a red polka-dot shirt pink flowered rain boots and a white foam crown. If you say nothing else about me, let it be said that I fostered my childrens' creativity. 9. Bought a new Bible from above. It has a hardcover and thick pages so I can write in it. Spent a long time looking for a Bible cover, but couldn't find one I really liked. 10. Helped JBug review math for a test she had to take. (she did better than she thought she would) 11. Tried a new teaching technique for JBear: "air spelling." I thought he would hate it, but I tried it desperation. Worked well to hold his attention and helped him learn to spell. 12. Stayed up until 3 a.m. supervising JBug's Science Project: she did in one night what she had 6 weeks to do: conducted her experiment, wrote her report and put together her display board. It turned out well. you are probably thinking I am a terrible parent, allowing her to stay up. Probably so. But you would have to understand her level of anxiety if she doesn't get the project done. She finished it, and was able to get up for school the next morning, so we were ok. 13. Skipped Park Days on Monday and today, to have some much needed down time! Today I managed to get my 13 done, and will do some laundry and some picking up as well as school the kids. Tomorrow, I will attend a coffee meeting with some moms that I met when JBear was still in school. It is a support group for those who have kids with Asperger's. They are all in school, but it is still good for me to go and find out how others are doing, and to let them know how homeschooling is going. Who knows? I might actually influence someone to consider homeschooling. Get the Thursday Thirteen code here! The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, PLEASE leave a comment. It's just nice manners...
