Happy Birthday to My Mom!

I'm a terrible daughter. I always forget to send the card on time. I never forget the date, or the person, but getting a card in the mail ahead of time...ack! Never do it. (For that matter, in this regard I'm a terrible sister, granddaughter, niece, daughter-in-law, etc. Card sending escapes me in general, and I was raised better than that, yes.)So, this morning I can use my blog to send out the message, which won't be arriving on time in the mail today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

I love you! Thanks for being my mom!

Love, Lisa

I hope you're enjoying the heat in Arizona while we're sitting inside watching the snow and cold blow in...

Happy Birthday to your Mom! Hope she had a wonderful day.
If not sending cards makes a bad daughter, sister or friend, count me among the bad as well. I don't know what it is that keeps me from getting them out. I'm just not organized enough- by which I tend to think that it isn't a priority. I always remember to call or email but a card? not likely.

Happy Birthday mom!

I never send cards, but I do remember to call my parents on their birthdays. At this point, we seem to have come to the tacit agreement that we just need to acknowledge each other without too much hoopla.

I'm sure my mom loves all your birthday wishes, too! Yep, that's me with her. Don't you love the hairdos? I think she looked great!

I'm so glad the rest of you don't send cards either. We're a big card family, but they seem kind of pointless to me. I prefer a phone call!

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...
