Dear Annette, Good luck to you and I hope your move is going well! We are in the same boat of having to move very quickly for work, and all the incredible details and saying goodbye as well. Meanwhile blogging is on hold of course.

I’m impressed – I have not read The Hunger Games yet, but think I will have to get it sometime!

You are so right! And actually my 8th grader is reading the trilogy as combination language arts/geography assignments this year.

I stole a few ideas from your list though and both teens will be reading “The Lottery” this week. I had forgotten all about that story and am now off to find the film, as well.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Annette – I LOVE YOU!!! And I just told Mary Kate – who had me read this on her laptop – that I wished we lived near you guys. You articulated the number one reason I love homeschooling – the amazing discussions you have with your kids that can touch religion, politics, literature and history, with some pop culture thrown in – completely awesome! I haven’t read the books – gave up non-spiritual reading for Lent, so I have to wait until after Easter. My first exposure, however, was my dear Cecilia, who started them several months ago, and whose summaries at the dinner table were so appalling, Scott and I weren’t sure she should be reading these books, much less watch the movie when it came out. Fortunately for Cecilia, Mary Kate then read the series and my worries were put to rest. Anyway, love you all, Love Teresa

If only my 13 yr old had chosen to continue HSing this year, i would have counted it for hours logged too!

Henry Nouwen wrote a beautiful piece called The Spirituality of Waiting. It has blessed me greatly through some waiting times. Please check it out.
