Too sick


Just wanted to post a quick note. I'm too sick to do anymore than this. This is the worst flu ever, but then I'm sure I say that whenever the flu comes around. It's been many years since I've had it so it's hard to remember. Kids are finally on the mend, still coughing though. I'm still having major head/sinus pain and a slight fever. Day four now. I would not be sitting up at all were it not for double-dosing on Advil. Yes, I gave in to drugs, but that's just until I can get to my chiropractor tomorrow.
Sick=Ick!

George said half of Rose's class missed school on Thursday and Friday. I guess we know where this thing came from...
Picture is of the front door of our house. The swag I made from the spruce in our yard and a coat hanger, after seeing the directions in Martha's mag. We'd love to welcome you over, but I don't think you'd want to come in right now!

Oh, sending you feel better vibes.

The flu hit us last month and we were miserable. We haven't had it for a few years either, but still...seemed just worse!

Hope you feel better...

Wishing you and your family quick-mending on the health side of things...

I'm seeing lots of flu, mono, and just general viral crud at the clinic. Seems like everyone's sick lately, but I suppose the healthy ones don't come in to see me. ;)

Feel better soon!

Thanks for the well wishes! I'm a little better every day, but this thing does seem to linger about a week for everyone.

It looks like a bad flu in general. We have a lot of friends out sick, too.

Homeschooling/Unschooling Almost A Year Now

The kids took their annual, required standardized achievement test yesterday. This is the law in Minnesota, homeschoolers have to take the test and keep it in the files at home but we don't have to turn it in to the district or anything, unless there's a problem. It seems reasonable to me. Yesterday's test went well. A friend of mine, a former teacher, does the testing as a business, so the kids are really comfortable with her. She sets up her "office" at the library and devotes about an hour to each kid, using the Peabody Individual Achievement Test . The categories in the Peabody test are General Information (science, social studies, art, etc.); Reading Recognition; Reading Comprehension; Mathematics; Spelling. There are 100 questions per category, though they don't start each child at number 1 but somewhere before/below where they should be at and work up from there. One of my kids , age 9, tests just at or above her grade level. This is great. A confirmat...

On Family Meetings and Chores

ON FAMILY MEETINGS: On Friday night we held our first-ever Zahn Family Meeting. I've always felt that families who hold family meetings are so, well, organized and democratic and all that and we've just never gotten around to them (which speaks to my lack of organization, and probably democratic-ness, too). But on Thursday, after "crabbin' out" at the kids for not helping around the house enough, I decided to call a Family Meeting for the following night. I made the announcement to all, including dear husband, that the meeting would take place at exactly 6:30 p.m. after our Previously Scheduled Family Dinner at exactly 6:00 p.m. Just trying to be organized here... I asked the family members to come up with agenda items. Mine, of course, would be the subject of chores. I also said I would give a Treasurer's Report (a.k.a. "why we haven't paid your allowance since Christmas"). So the appointed hour came and the Meeting commenced. I asked for agenda...
