Happy Be Late For Something Day! Actually, homeschoolers notoriously walk to the beat of a different drummer and you would think our lives would be simpler and less hectic but I know in my case this is just not true, and i am willing to be it is the same in yours. It seems so hard just to take time off, relax, settle down..Be Late For SOmethign Day can come to our rescue and remind us that we need to stop and smell the roses. In honor of today try making breakfast or lunch a little late. Look at the different time zones around the world and how they are set up. What is Greenwich Mean Time? Talk about attentiveness and how it is important to not dawdle about the important things so we will have time to do what we like to do. And Mom, it’s a good time to check your own schedule and see if it needs readjusting. Mine does!

Today in History Sam Houston was elected the president of Texas. Read about the Alamo. Can you name the flags that have fl
own over Texas? What is the state capitol, bird, flower?

It is raining today here. Pouring, and I think we are in for it all week. That means the pasture will be a large, wet mass of mud. I think I also heard some trees cracking during the night so when the sun comes up I need to go assess how many we lost. Since the flood/drought cycle we had we are losing trees right and left.Good for our woodpile not so much for our landscape!
I am trying very hard to find a schedule that words. With Marc no longer able to drive it is hard to have the animals to take care of, breakfast to get, and then him to take to work, and then try to get school going and the house cleaned up. I know a schedule would help, I have always been on one until now.
Anyway..today is Wordless Wednesday from Five Minutes For Mom and I know I ghave been wordy but I will end with this:

    Your picture is great…sorry it was raining today, although it looks as though she doesn’t mind!

    GMT or Greenwich Mean Time is the time set at Greenwich in London, UK. From this the other time zones are measured for example Paris is +1 in front of GMT and New York is -9 behind GMT. Hope this answers the question (and that it wasn’t rhetorical)

    Umm..it was actually a suggestion for how to incorporate time into the lessons today..but I love audience participation, Hannah!

    What a cute picture! I love rainy pictures.

    Thanks for the link to my site. The trackback actually got buried in my spam folder and I just happened across it today. Eeeek. But it was kind of you! :P
