Photobucket Monday - huh! Imagine that - another Monday....

Let's see.....I didn't make it to the gym because with Jared gone there is one less adult to help juggle schedules with littles. I'll go tomorrow.

I did get a lot of WORD STUDIES finished this a.m. - BEWARE THE WORD STUDIES (just a warning for my PWOC ladies). ::snort::

Nolan had speech. I continue to closely observe the various classes that come into the library during this time. Today the librarian told her second class that you have to be a "legal citizen and 21" to vote....I wonder if I should tell her that isn't quite right....I also wonder if I should tell her that Hillary Clinton was NOT the first female to attempt to win a major parties nomination???? Any of you care to guess who was the first female to run for her party's nomination? She obviously didn't make it - and it was decades ago.

We zipped through some more school...studying Islam this week...and voting. We had a good look-see at an absentee ballot today from the state of Alaska.

AH - the big news is that the new AK plates for the Toyota have arrived. I'm excited. I think folks like AK drivers better around here...or maybe I'm a bit zippier in the Corolla - but I'll be happy to have my AK plates. LOL

I spent a LOT of time getting 3 weeks of produce co-op and one month's organic co-op finances ready to deposit...only to discover the bank closes at 4:00 p.m. LOL

Nothing exciting...but it WAS rewarding....and I miss Jared. I can't find any photos yet on the website....

De'Etta, not sure about 1st woman to attempt the nomination, but Margaret Chase Smith actually won the nomination of a major party in the 60s I think. We are also doing elections. It makes you wonder what kids are learning in schools.

I lost two drivers in a 2-week span, and it's been hard to get highschoolers to their events. Makes me want to pull the shades and be a hermit. T.J. was home over the weekend, and it was sweet to see him interact with younger brothers with much more maturity and patience. He was great with kids at David's 10yo bday party and played light sabers with David and Daniel. Fun times. How long 'til Dallas?

So who was the first woman to win the nomination of a major party? And the nomination to which office--President??? Vice-president?? Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention...

Sis:

I knew once recently, but have forgotten about the 1st woman etc. One of the news cast had it.

As to what kids learn in public school..... you really don't want to know unless your kid is there.

I love working with the kids but the adults and their ways of teaching their views subtley drives me nuts and causes me to have to speak up at times.

I am totally horrified at what that person was telling the kids! 21! Are you serious? AAUUGGHH.....it's called research. And the first woman was Mon.. oh I can picture her face. She has short graying hair, I saw her on a news show too. Why can't I bring her name to the front? Oh, well. That's my guess.
