In my life this week…
Please pray for us. My eldest son is having some serious health issues and we are in need of specialist appointments and I am anxious for answers and solutions.As of now my son has been in hospital since Wednesday and so far all the tests have come back negative. (In most ways this is a good thing but at the same time it means that we still don't know why he has no feeling / movement in his legs from mid thigh down.) We definitely need a revelation as to what is going on.
On a positive note however I placed my order with Sonlight and had the experience of our items arriving in under four days!
In our homeschool this week…
- We did a fire safety experiment and worked on completing our firesafety Notebook pages and Unit Study.
- We started our Who Is God ? And Can I Really Know Him? apologetics course from Apologia.Sir N is thrilled with his new Notebook and the stories.
iHomeschool Network is hosting a FREE printable link up party extravaganza.
Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler currently has World's Greatest Artists Vol 1 and World's Greatest Artisits Vol II for FREE until Sunday.
I am inspired by…
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
- Saturday -I accompanied my friend to see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The music was beautiful.
- Sunday - Went for a trip to the beach with friends who came to visit.
- Monday - Was a good day at home and in the evening I visited my sister with a friend who gave us a tutorial in making an explosion album. I had fun learning to do this. Sir N also did exercise class with the L family.
- Tuesday - We stayed home. It's school holidays and we are resting. YAY
- Wednesday - Spent the whole day at hospital with no 1 son.
- Thursday - spent the afternoon at the hospital. Still no answers.
- Friday - Spent a few hours at the hospital and went out my mom.
My favorite thing this week was…
What’s
- Having my first born in hospital with no answers and him wanting to check himself out.
Questions/thoughts I have…
- Fire Safety Unit Study.
- A blog post on composition in the high school years for the Home School the High School blog Carnival which will be on Monday.
- I finished reading From a Distance by Tamera Alexander (Currently free on Kindle) while at the hospital with Mr T on Wednesday.
- I have a few books but have not read much since Wednesday due to no 1 son's hospitalization.
- I have been poking around the free printing link up over at iHomeschool Network.
- Not much. I have been blessed with two cooked meals from a friend.
- A few more pins of interest. I have been gathering resources to teach Shakespeare in the future with Sir N.
- The prayer warriors on the Sonlight Forums as well as my friends and family who are praying for Mr T while he is in hospital.
In the introduction to A Child's History of the World in the introduction the author says this about teaching a child only about their own countries history:
"It only promotes a narrow-mindedness and an absurd conceit, based on utter ignorance of any other peoples and any other times - an intolerant egotism without foundation or fact." Virgil M. Hillyer.

I am so sorry to read of your son's health problems. May he be healed quickly and may you have answers soon.
ReplyDeleteAh, a day at the beach - my husband and I are trying to decide if we should spend the Thanksgiving holiday at the beach :-) Something different than our typical traditions, but the lure of the waves...we'll see.
I am so sorry to read of your son in the hospital. I will keep him in my prayers.
