Why I have decided to home school....

"Home school?" You cant... 

Anytime I bring up homeschooling my daughter, people look at me crazy. It isn't normal... What about her social life... You just can't do it!

Well, at first I felt that way also. My husband brought it up to me and I was like no, I want her to have friends. That was my only reason really of not wanting to do it, but then I looked into it. I researched the topic. I got more information about home schooling in Texas, and afterwards I was like "Why not?"... Seriously! Angeline will have friends, I'll make sure of it. There are many home school programs for home schoolers so they can socialize with people and even go on FIELD TRIPS! I will also have her in a sport, or something special that she likes.

 The word home school is scary because well most people don't do it, it isn't the norm, but I really think people should look more into it, before they give me there "but"... I don't plan on home schooling up to graduation, just her elementary days. I am working towards my teacher license... Not that you have to have it, but so I can be better equip at giving my daughter the best. I want to be the one to shape her mind and values, not teachers and the students. The schools now a days are out of whack, but people still think it's a bad idea... I think not! My child will get better learning at home, then she will at some school in my area.

So, as she is still only one, we are just enjoying her being my baby, but I am excited for what the future holds for us :)

Bzzzzzzz...eee. (Busy)

Angeline's Valentine Picture that I took!

My towels have sat in the washing machine for almost 4 days, or since Sunday. YIKES!  And then yesterday, I remembered and I rewashed the towels AGAIN, and today is a new day... Guess what!? They're still sitting in the f@!king washer! I wouldn't use the word lazy, but I am TIRED. I have been sooo busy with catching up on school work.. I mean it's not like I have to catch up, I am already ahead, but I like to stay ahead, so I write in my planner that things are due a week before, so I make sure to have them done and so if I DO have to do something, which results me from not being home, I don't have to stress out about it. BUT... school work, trying to be healthy by going to the gym, taking care of the ANGELine... kind of overwhelms me, and on top of that, I am still a stay at home wife no matter what, so my husband expects for the towels to make there way in the dryer and then folded and placed in the bathroom cabinet... For the dishes to be washed, placed in the dishwasher and then in the kitchen cabinets. I think the worst part of cleaning is the aftermath, putting things back in there place when you are done, and it's just a vicious cycle. *inhale* *exhale* So, I am trying my best to do everything 100%, right now I am about at an 80%, and I'd at least like to be at a 90% because I like A's. ;)

<center>But since I haven't blogged in awhile, I thought I'd share some pictures of February!

In Texas, rarely do we get snow, we mainly just get ice, but it snowed for a couple of days, and Angeline got to play in it!

I made something in her room to display her work! I don't know the correct term for the material I used, but it's for scrap-booking and then got clothespins to hang the pictures.

NURSE BINGO! (FREE TEMPLATES)

My sister has officially received her diploma for Bachelors in Nursing! She has worked so hard in to getting where she is... Through sweat, tears and pain... She made it! So, Saturday is her Nursing graduation party, and I am in charge of "games" so I thought I'd share BINGO with you! I had a hard time of finding templates for free online, and I found a template BUT it only came with two bingo sheets for free, so I copied it and with the 69 words on the call sheet I made more! So below, I am giving it to whoever doesn't want to make there's and can simply just print it off! :) Have fun!

Players: Up to 9 players
Materials: Bingo sheets, call sheet, bingo chips (or something that can cover the words if they get called)
Instructions: Pass out the bingo sheets, have someone cut out the call sheet words and place in a bowl. Say N, U, R, S, or E and then pick a card out of the bowl and say the word... It is that easy! Note: Make sure to say the letter row first before picking a card out of the bowl so people don't say you are cheating/ helping someone! 
Players: if the WORD gets called under the correct letter, place a chip on it. 
How to win: If you get 5 chips horizontally, vertically, or diagonal you won!
