7 Things Meme

I got a meme from Judy over at My Freezer is Full (what a great blog title, Judy! I hate my blog title...)

Here are the rules:
Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird.
Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blog
Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I drink English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast (or, in a pinch, Lipton) black tea with a little sugar, 2 large mugs a day.

2. My husband is my best friend and I love watching him play his Irish whistles on stage.

3. My favorite summer ever was in 1994. I lived with my dear, funny Grandma and spent a lot of time with a college roommate who lived nearby, and made a bunch of other great friends that year. I had just broken up a long-term relationship and felt so free! For the first time in, like, forever. I was also doing my student chaplaincy (C.P.E.) unit at the nearby State Hospital that summer, which was interesting to say the least. The next summer, 1995, I married my husband whom I didn't even know until Sept. of 1994.

4. Even though it's a lot of work, I like having a "menagerie" of creatures around the house, husband, kids, puppy, cat, chickens. For a while we had two finches named Eddie and Franklin too, but that was too much poop to deal with.

5. I want to go to England and Ireland really, really badly, but I don't want to see other tourists there at all.

6. I want to buy myself a doll from Bamboletta so bad! (Now I'm just listing wants, eh?)

7. I'm running so late for church but I'm still doing this meme! (Procrastinator)

Here are 7 people I want to tag for this! I'll email you soon...

Denise at Mom in Madison
Mon at Holistic Mama
Kristine at Anthromama (to get you back for the Facebook one!)
Jess at RosieQ Family Blog (cuz I like seeing you blog more!)
Jen at Bellies, Beer and Baking Oh My!
The Brewer's Wife
Gracie at Urban/Prairie Living

So go for it, ladies!

Oh, man! Another one!!!

I'm totally with you on #5.

Don't buy a doll, make one! Some of the Waldorf doll kits you can buy are pretty simple.

I did make a Waldorf doll from a kit for my son when he was small. It turned out okay. I just love the creativity that the woman at Bamboletta puts into her dolls!

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...
