Hello! Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and times with their family. I know I did. All three of my kids got what they wanted and they had nothing to complain about. I cooked our Christmas dinner Christmas Eve, so I could spend time with my family on Christmas Day.
My hubby surprise me with a beautiful watch for Christmas! I was not expecting anything as we do each others gifts before Christmas! I usually don't wear watches, but I will this one!! My hubby said tried of me always asking the time when we in town.
What is your plans for New Year's Eve? We usually don't do much. We usually just watch the new year come in by watching the New Year's specials on tv. Kids try to stay up with us but with no luck of ever making it to 12. lol But who knows our plans may change, but will see what comes our way when it gets here1!
Thank you for reading. Hope your Christmas was just as wonderful as ours was! Hope you have a Happy New Year!!\

Good evening everyone!! Hope everyone is just as excited as I am that Christmas is around the corner!! I got to get to my birthday and then Christmas follows three days afterwards!! My dad calls me his Christmas gift!! I am going to be 33 years old on Monday and my dad still calls me his baby girl! Even with me about to be 33 he still calls me his best Christmas gift yet! Ha Ha.
Christmas is not about the gifts we receive and
how expensive they are! It is about a man named Jesus that was born! If
wasn't for him we wouldn't celebrate this great day! Again my dad has
drawn a picture for me! He tries to draw me drawings according to the
holiday or how he feeling. And almost always they are about our great
Lord and Jesus! We all need to remember this all year around instead of just at Christmas time! We all need to try to do for others all year around too, instead of just at this time of year!
Merry Christmas!!
Thank you for reading today!

I am well on my way to getting things done!! I have all my kids Christmas wrapped and ready for Santa to put them under tree on Christmas Eve. Both my boys doesn't believe in Santa any more but my daughter still believes!! So, for a couple more years I get to play Santa!! And let me tell ya she is counting down the days.
My daughter has the rest of this week and next week then she off for Christmas break. We both ready for it and it a well deserve break. She works really hard. even when she struggles with the work.Her K12 teacher said today she went up a couple of points on her reading. But really proud at how hard she is working. K12 has been a blessing to us both.
Me and my sister in law is really excited and nervous about starting classes at our local Ogeeche Technical College in Jan. Even though we are taking different courses, we do have one class together!! So, we will be able to help each other in at least one class lol. We went to our Student orientation together yesterday. Now if Jan. would just get here so we can start.

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day!! I know I am!! My daughter is starting her reviews for her K12 semester tests. I was so worried that homeschooling her, she wouldn't learn anything. I was also worried that I wouldn't be a good enough teacher for her! But today she took her semester Science test and she passed it, without any problems!! She missed one question out of 16!! K12 may have it tech issues, and even this being our first year homeschooling and doing K12, we have found ways around it and staying caught up!! I can't believe how much she has grown as far as her education!! Yes, even she has her days and moments where she just don't wanna do her work!! But that is okay, that why we choose K12. So, we can work when she wants and at our pace. K12 gives you lessons plans to go by daily, you have help and support when you need it, and if you do it though the states the books and materials is free!!!! But you can also do it independently just by buying the books from them. But we choose the free way cause get the help from the teachers if you get stuck! It has done so well with my daughter that my sister in law is about to start the enrollment with K12 so, that my nephew can start with it in Jan.. I was going to home school my daughter for a year and put her back into the B&M school next year. But have decided we are going to stick with K12 next year. I am afraid to put her back in a b&m school and her fall behind again, when she doing way better than what she was in traditional school.
Well, on another note. I have been doing everything I can go to go back to school my self the last month. I took my placement tests and filled out all the forms!! And as of today it is official I will be starting my classes in Jan. I will be going for accounting diploma. I am so excited and happy!!! It something I have been wanting to do since I finished high school!! So, I am about to be super busy with homeschooling my daughter, my two boys, work, and other things that a wife does lol.
Thank you for reading today!! Have a blessed day!!
My husband is so wonderful!! He found a puppy yesterday in need of a forever home. So, my hubby woke me up asking and telling me about her. All my kids have been asking for a dog. Well a couple of hours after I got up we went and got her. She is so beautiful! She is 5 months old. She was got for the whole family. But my daughter she telling everyone that she is her dog only!! lol That should tell you how spoiled my little girl is!! The puppies name is Elsa! No, we did not name her she was already named! But works well with my daughter cause my daughter is a big Frozen fan!! Elsa right now is her favorite character!! Elsa is a very playful puppy!! And she has adjusted well to our family!! My daughter has got her spoiled already!! She has Elsa sleeping with her already. My daughter wants to be the one that walks her, but every time we let her walk Elsa, she seems to let go of the leash time Elsa puts any pull on it. We so happy for her to be part of our family!!
My daughter is still enjoying K12. She did not do any work yesterday cause of getting Elsa. But my daughter done a really get job on doing on catching up from yesterday and she did her work for today!! K12 may have some tech issues at times but I still don't regret joining K12!! There is ways to work around the issues!
Thank you for stopping by and reading!! Hope every one has a great day!!
