Hello friends , we got through a busy week of homeschooling , it went OK well it all went OK until learning phonics in a work book came in to it and the stubborn little monkey digs her heels in and well that is that really .....i just quietly put the book away i don't want to force her because learning should be fun and a pleasant experience not tears and anger and stress, but apart from that it was a fun week of learning the upper and lower case Aa ,started our letter of the week scrapbook, done some work sheets , math ,science , painting using a apple as a stamp, and so many other fun things.. So yesterday we took a drive we was heading to the honey farm but they close Saturday for religious purposes so we will do that another day now , so we headed to a market close bye and then had lunch in the park bye the river feed the ducks and a play it was a good afternoon nice and relaxing, this morning i wrote up a weekly report of schooling that will be done this coming week , tried to figure out office works so i could do a weekly photo report for her folder, its done just but not how i wanted it , I'm thinking maybe year 2013 might be the time to take a computer course lol</div>

Hello everyone i know iv been away from blog land on and off for over a year, but I'm going to do more blogging this year , as of tomorrow i will be home educating our 5 year old daughter whom has Autism disorder ,we are going through THEAC for this , I'm very excited iv put a lot of thought and work in to this , it was not a decision made lightly or over night , after all our older children go to school apart from our son whom is 20 years old now , but our little girl as anxiety and doesn't take being left at all ,as well as other issue's so this is the road we will be traveling , we will still go to Giant steps twice a week and she does gymnastics and we try to keep her in social places though she don't interact with others ....but she does watch at times so that's a good thing i know she is taking it all in..lol.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So we don't have a school room , though we have made good use of our dinning room down one end of it , we have always used this room as a craft/sewing/painting/sensory/homework/computer room lol so now this is were most of our learning will take place as it has done for years it's just now iv had to add a lot more to the collection but that's OK i like to have everything were i can see it and know where it is for easy access. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

Hello friends </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So with all these left overs from Christmas day , i was up at 6am on boxing day morning ~ no not to go to boxing day sales,(now that would not be to frugal at all lol) i was up so i could use up some of the left overs, so as not to waste any food, so i cooked up some more mash potatoes and a pot of gravy, then i sliced up the left over roast pork and used the left over peas/corn and made 10 lunches/dinners, i thought they will be great for the kids lunches since they have 6 weeks school holidays its a change of there usual lunches, and why i was at it i used up a big bunch of bananas i had that were great for making 2 loafs of banana bread for the freezer,no wastage around here!!</div>

It's with a aching heart i write this post , when my mum passed away 13 months ago she was worried who was going to look after her 2 best friends E.T whom is a Devon Rex and Rexy whom is a Cornish Rex and since mum spent her last 6 weeks with us since that's all we had once she was diagnosed , her 2 best friends stayed here to and they were so faithful they stayed on mums bed with her right till the end , and they have comforted me so much , sister Heidi loves them sooooo very much, E.T went to be with mum yesterday he was very sick the vet tryed but if we didn't make the decision he would of been on insulin twice a day and his kidneys were effected bye his sickness he got worse over the night so we had him put to sleep he was ready to go , my husband stayed with him while they gave him his final injection and he said to E.T phone home E you going home to your mum , cry cry i know he's not in pain know more but he was a part of mum and that made him extra special to me , how ever we will all miss him and i know his brother Rexy is missing him he was looking for him last night , but all we can do is keep on giving him lots of love and cuddles!!</div>

A few months ago i was at a brick-abrack store and came across a bundle of child's fabric i got about 2 metres of pink with dinosaurs on it , and about 3 plus metres of the one i used to make a new library bag for our youngest her other one was a cheap one from k-mart and fell apart , this one that i made will last and last on her weekly visits to our local library and the cost of making it was so small, all up with both bundles of fabric it cost me $6 but there is plenty left to make some more library bags for gifts , and quite a few other things!!primitive ole frugal mummahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05152153857791974645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479165217646416728.post-81152151608764145432012-11-12T16:33:00.001-08:002012-11-12T16:33:52.516-08:00Christmas snow man<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello, wow have i got some exciting news , most of you guys out there know that i have a 5 year old with Autism disorder , and we have struggled with making the right decision about her education , she does not like to be separated from us and there's a whole lot of other reason along with that , so i took a leap of faith and wrote out a report sent it off to home education , and yes yes yes we have the go ahead for home education as of 1.1.2013 , I'm so looking forward to this venture and i feel like a huge weight has been lifted of my shoulders , after the year we have had i feel like its all coming together, i think some times we just need to have more faith that every think may not be as we wish all the time ,but it will all be as it should.....</div>

It's called the Optimist Creed. Written by Christan D. Larson in 1912<br /><br />Promise yourself to...<br /><br />To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. <br />... <br />To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. <br /><br />To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. <br /><br />To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. <br /><br />To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. <br /><br />To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. <br /><br />To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. <br /><br />To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. <br /><br />To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. <br /><br />To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.</div>
