Trying to spread the word to some homeschooling moms, so please pass this along if you're intersted. <BR/><BR/>Here are the reading selections for next term at Heart-n-Home Booknook! The term will run from April 1st to June 30th. This is a christian group where we "try"<BR/>to read according to a gentle schedule and then discuss and share our thoughts as we go. It is very lax and we frequently go at our own pace! (you know, the<BR/>one where we fall behind, lol!) So if you like to read and discuss books with others, please join us!<BR/><BR/>o Keeping Our Children's Hearts by Steve & Terri Maxwell<BR/>o Love & Respect by Emmerson Eggerichs<BR/>o The Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola<BR/>o This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti<BR/><BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Heart-N-HomeBooknookMomma Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585669348993487403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-33928257804899428682007-03-19T21:22:00.000-05:002007-03-19T21:22:00.000-05:00It sounds like you have your week well ordered - w...It sounds like you have your week well ordered - which is a *great* feeling! :o)<BR/><BR/>I would also agree with Tracy's tip about a hand-held shower shower nozzle. It's amazing how non-intimidating the water becomes when they control it. <BR/><BR/>(Also - as someone on the short side - I can quite sympathize with the frustration of a water blast right in the face from a standard height shower head. I can at least reach it to adjust, but that initial wake-up call is NOT fun at-all - lol!)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724180634582208804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-60869365877267878272007-03-19T21:10:00.000-05:002007-03-19T21:10:00.000-05:00I'm having a hard time still, too, with the sleep ...I'm having a hard time still, too, with the sleep thing!<BR/>I'm so glad you liked the tea!

Often I will put the meal on the table and have absolutely nothing but plates and silverware to take care of when the meal is done. I am famous for that and tried so hard to teach my sons to do the same. But they don't. They will eat a sandwich and leave the mayo on the counter till they are done eating! Eeeek.

I hope you don't mind.<BR/>Feel free to visit my blog any time and comment anytime! www.blogginwithlori.blogspot.com <BR/><BR/>As far as the daily cleaning duties: <BR/>I do most all of those same things every day. I make the beds, de-cluttler the house, sort mail, clean as a cook, wipe spills, sweep, and do laundry. I feel much better staying organized and keeping on top of all of these tasks. Thanks for the printable To Do List.<BR/>I also need to get on a regular exercise program. Now that it is nicer out that should be easier to do. I love to get outdoors and go for walks.
