Real Life: Wasted Weekend

Wasted Weekend

This weekend I really wanted to get Christmas put away, (yes, I still have my tree up!) I'm ready to get the house clean and Christmas decorations put away. Unfortunately the flu wanted to visit instead. I guess I can thank said flu for coming on the weekend while John was home so I could rest for two days and not worry about the boys, but I'm a little annoyed and feel a little bit jipped that my weekend was stolen from me.

You may feel better to know that I do not have any good excuse such as flu (so sorry for you again, I hate feeling sick) and I still have my tree up along with ALL my Christmas decorations. Tomorrow's another day!; January 11, 2011 at 6:01 PM

Will-isms

Will: (Speaking about us and where we live:
"I like the house, I just don't like the family."

(Driving home from our friend's house late at night)
Will: "I know how to read in my head. I just sit there and do nothing."

Will (doing his "job", cleaning his room):"That's why I like James so much, his job is just to be cute."

Will, calling for help from the bathroom:
"Moooommmm! I'm dooonnne!
Mom enters the bathroom:
Will: "I'm glad it's you."
Mom: "What do you mean?"
Will: "Sometimes I call for Mom and Dad comes."
Mom: "Oh..."
Will: "I like to call for different characters in our family."

Will at the dinner table:
"I don't like corn."
"...and here's the other thing about corn, I don't like beans."

Life-Changing Book

A Thomas Jefferson Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty-first Century by Oliver Van DeMille

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book! I feel inspired to be better, teach my children to be better, and to get educated and love education. I really feel like this is a worth-while read, a book that everyone should read, it truly gave me great perspective to how I want to change my learning process. I want my children to start this "new process" right away, so they don't have to start over when they are 30 years old... :)
