It’s March already! Wasn’t it just January? For that matter, wasn’t it just 1999? Seems the older I get, the faster I get older!
Kelsey, our eldest who is away at college, is even farther away for Spring Break. She’s on tour with her Vanderbilt Choir in Chicago, no wait…she’s now in Saint Louis! I can’t keep up. I think Kelsey has traveled more in the last few years, than I did my entire life! Well, not including moving. I never traveled for fun, my family and I just MOVED a lot! LOL She’s been checking in every few days from her new cell phone. Only 54 more days til she comes home for the summer, but who’s counting?! By the way, my baby girl turns 19 in 9 days!
Chris started golf lessons yesterday. He had fun, but was relegated to the little kids section of the class where the teacher really didn’t teach. He spoke mostly to the older kids and just told the younger ones to hit the ball. Chris was disappointed and I will be talking to the instructor tomorrow. I don’t think he has taught this many students in one class before because he made a comment about how big the class was. He seemed to run out of time and concentrated mostly on the teens. I did wonder as the class has an age minimum of 8yrs old. My son is almost 10 but the little ones are all about 6. Still he had fun!
We completely sold out of our hard copy studies! I’m almost done with the eBook rewrites too! I am working on some other projects for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and a few others. I adore working with TOS! Also I’ve had a rash of requests for interviews this week. It’s been fun. I have one more tomorrow. Looks like I’ve been invited back to be a Keynote Speaker at Cindy Rushton’s Ultimate Homeschool Expo this year and that looks like a lot of fun too! Cindy is awesome!
The March episode of The Misadventures of Foot in Mouth Man is up! Come read how FIMM sticks his foot in his mouth THIS month! Check out FIMMology 101 too. There is a link to it on the blog’s right side bar.
I am getting ready for tomorrow’s Grace Talk Soup show. My guest will share about a writing contest for young writers. Come check it out live or listen at your convenience to the recorded audio, but don’t wait too long! The deadline for the writing contest is March 15th! Changes a coming on Grace Talk Soup next week! I’ll be introducing a co host! She and I go way back and she is another goofball like myself. If you enjoyed the show before, check it out next week and you’ll have a blast. Fifty points if you can guess who it is! I’ve actually talked about her several times here on Communication FUNdamentals-just recently in fact! BIG HINT.
Did you catch our family’s homeschool segment on USC’s Impact yet? We felt the editing was done with at least a slight agenda. Much of the postives our family shared were left on the cutting room floor, while the other family came off as quite social. I talked to the producer via email. She said she graduated from the graduate program at USC just before all the editing was done. The new producer may have wanted to compare and contrast the two families. She apologized for leaving my son out of the updates and was a bit embarrassed by the “Vanterbilt” typo. I feel it was heart felt.
A prayer request for my dh. Rich has been awaiting word from his company on whether or not they will hire him on permanently. Everyone is on board but the decision rests with the owner. The past several months of uncertainty have been kind of stressful for him. Yesterday he woke up nauseous and dizzy. We thought it would go away after a while but it lasted all day and so far this morning. He did some online research and it looks like an inner ear thing. We don’t have health insurance and he is now officially out of his diabetes and high blood pressure medicines. I asked him to go to the doctor, but he doesn’t want to go. Please pray he will be ok and that he will have a permanent job soon so we have health benefits. I think if we did, he would go.
Well, that’s all the news that fit to type today. What’s your news? How’s your March so far?
