I've been gone for a week-finally got to go back to my home state of Michigan :)
A lot happened while I was gone. We started one morning off with tracking a close friend while he was running the Boston marathon. Left the house for a little bit-only to turn on the t.v. when we got back to find out about the bombing. My heart stopped for awhile as I was waiting to find out if he was ok. His whole family had flew out there to watch him. Luckily he had crossed the finish line 4 minutes before the blast. It makes you stop and think about how precious life really is..they are now safely back home. A member of their family ran to help triage as soon as the blast went off-my heartfelt Thank You goes out to him and all the other people and professionals who immediately took action.
I also got to visit one of the best home school stores while in the area. I loaded up on test books and got a really cool kid's Chemistry book. It was made in a way to make Chemistry cool and interesting. I want all the kids to benefit from the books-so we are going to use plastic sheets and dry erase markers so we can use them more than once.
We got to see snow, froze to death, and spent quality time with friends who we hadn't seen in 4 years. The trip home was way too long-my little family couldn't wait to get out of the car.
Vacations are always great-but by the time it is over you feel as though you need another week just to recover.
I guess tomorrow it is back to the grind!!! I have been gone so I don't have my usual lesson plans done so we will be winging it tomorrow! :)
Have a great school week,
-Jules
