I'm working on tweaking our homeschool. Do you have a name for your homeschool? Ours is Our Lady Queen of Peace Academy. I'm working on making our days more efficient. I will also start being more militant about our mornings. I told the kids they're going to have to be up and down for breakfast by 7:30. I'll let you know how it goes.

There's been some drama in one of our extracurriculars. I feel like we're back in high school. One mom said she's taking her kid elsewhere and she'll make sure the instructor knows the reason why. The reason? Another mom won't stay friends with her. She feels there's a preferred group of moms and that these moms are responsible for chasing another girl away (not true as I checked).

We were able to video chat with Ben today. It was very frustrating because he doesn't have enough bandwidth to make it easy. There's too much pixalation and we were having trouble with the sound. It took us 3 tries before we were able to get a good connection.

Gramma is coming to visit next month. We'll be going up to Dallas and visiting the American Girl store and the LEGO store. My children are acting quite mercenary about it and wondering what they should ask for. I'm a bit embarrassed about it. Sorry, Mom!

Today is the March for Life. I am unabashedly pro-life. I choose my candidates by whether or not they are pro-life. It's a big issue for me as without a right to life, there's nothing. If you don't value life, how can I know you'll value anything else? I wish I could be there at this. One of these days, we'll attend.

I've been using the Wii Fit Plus to exercise by using the Rhythm Boxing and Rhythm Kung-fu. It's been fun. It's not the same each time which is probably why I like it. It's also a challenge as I'm seriously rhythm challenged. I have a wedding to get in shape for. It's in May; as long as I work hard, I'll be okay for it. Ben doesn't know if he likes that I'm using these violent exercises.

Bookshelves. I need bookshelves. There are too many books littered in baskets all over the floor. It's too hard to keep up with keeping the clutter free with books everywhere.
Check out more Quick Takes.
I didn't know that about the Wii Fit. Now I must try!
I hear you on the bks. If I would just stop dragging them all over my house hoping for a minute to read this one or that one they might be in better shape lol!
