Things i know!

I know ... ... ...


  • School mornings in our house are crazy and very messy.
  • My WII has way to much dust on it, i really should pull it out and clean it, then maybe USE it.
  • Out of all the blog posts i have read, about Hints or tips on how to get people to actually read your blog, Jenners from Life ... With Books has said it best, with her Goldilocks and the three bloggers post.
A snipped from Jenners post.
"Once upon a time, a lovely young girl named Goldilocks was playing happily on the Internet while her little baby slept peacefully nearby. (Yes, she had a baby. She had struggled to put the baby to bed last night but now the wee babe was sleeping peacefully. This is a literary device called foreshadowing. The sleeping babe will come into play soon.) She was frolicking around on the nice safe haven that is Facebook — completing quizzes, sending Easter Peeps to her peeps and struggling to understand what to put in the new empty box. After all, the prompt “Goldilocks Is…” had recently disappeared — leaving her unsure of what to write. (Goldilocks wasn’t a very bright or creative girl; she needed that prompt.)
As she was playing around, she accidentally clicked on a link that led her to a strange world — the Land of Blog. “We’re not in Facebook anymore,” Goldilocks thought to herself (confusingly mixing up her story references). “All these pages look so different.” But Goldilocks was intrigued…she wanted to see more.
She clicked on a little sign that said “Next Blog.” Suddenly, a loud noise assaulted her ears. It was music playing loudly. Goldilocks didn’t know where the music was coming from — and the loud music woke up the wee babe. “Waaahhh….waaaahhhh,” cried the babe. “What the flippin’ hell?” thought Goldilocks, panicking. “What is happening?” She frantically clicked on “Next Blog” and the music blissfully stopped. “Oh my,” thought Goldilocks. “I sure don’t like that. The music scared the bejeezus out of me and woke up my sleeping baby. I sure don’t want to visit that blog again!”
The new blog she had clicked to was much more peaceful…but it was taking an awfully long time to load. Goldilocks kept waiting…and waiting…and waiting…and then she lost interest and clicked “Next Blog.” "

nothing like clearing the dust! Hope you get to enjoy the wii

the other day I cleaned the bathroom light and fan and it was most satisfying.

I don't have WII but I do have two new PS3 exercise games I really need to crack open. You've reminded me they're there. That fairy tale is great because it's so true. I'm sure there are more instalments that could be written about adventures in blogland.

Every time we have to be out of the house by 9am I am grateful for home education! I find it so hard to be organized in the morning
