Yes! It’s Friday! I love Friday. It’s Friday and I have movies from BlockBusterOnline! We will gather round after supper, sit as far apart as is humanly possible on our home theater seating (read that couches and chairs), and watch The Bourne Identity. And when the movie is over, we can all go to bed. It’s cooler if you aren’t moving.
How in the world do you all keep your kids entertained when they absolutely cannot go outside? The heat index has been up over 100 all week, and we have been inside. For 4 days now. They are grumpy. They are spiteful. They are not. happy. people. And frankly, I’m not feeling like Little Miss Happy Pants myself.
I just signed my schoolers up at K12 Free Homeschool, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing about it, too. I’ve been struggling with our homeschooling a bit lately, trying to juggle everything, and I thought this might help. I like that I can use as much or as little as I like. Even if I could do one subject per child, that would be a load off for me.
Right now, I’ve got four who need me for daily phonics lessons, and umm, it’s not happening with the regularity I’d like it too. And I wonder about music. And art. And all those elective type subjects. And what about…. yeah, I think you get the idea. Here’s the press release that got me all fired up:

Philadelphia, PA –- This week’s release of K12FreeHomeschool.org represents the much anticipated opening of the first tuition-free online academy core curriculum for K-12 grade homeschoolers. The new, first-of-it’s-kind online model for Christian Homeschoolers is supported primarily by outside corporate, non-profit and educational funding instead of the traditional “paid tuition” model.
“Nothing like this has ever been done before,” says Mimi Rothschild, a veteran homeschooling parent and CEO of Learning By Grace, Inc., managers of K12FreeHomeschool.org. “Our mission is to deliver world-class educations to our students and give every family, no matter what their financial situation may be, a great opportunity at providing their children with a quality education.”
The launch comes at a time when many parents are tired of the failing public school system, but don’t have the money to send their children to a traditional private schools which, because of soaring tuition costs, are reserved for the wealthy.
“I understand that parents don’t want their children growing up in sub-standard and sometimes dangerous public schools. I also understand how much work homeschooling takes, I should know because I’m a homeschooling mom. K12 Free Home School takes the pressure of homeschooling off parents and is also incredibly affordable,” says Rothschild.
K12FreeHomeschool.org is nationally accredited and offers tuition-free courses, which include materials at little or no extra cost, and optional elective courses, which are offered at a 50 to 75 percent grant reduction.
K12FreeHomeschool.org also enables parents to customize their child’s education to best fit their child’s learning styles. This approach to education is a breath of fresh air when comparing it to public schools’ approach of one-size fits all curriculums. K12 students excel in the relaxed environment of their homeschool and have the ability to go at their own pace.
“It’s the 21st century and it’s time we starting using 21st century technology to benefit our children’s education. Each child learns in their own unique way, therefore each child should receive an education that caters to their needs. With the technology we have at our fingertips, there is no excuse for not giving each child in America an individualized world-class education,” says Rothschild.
K12FreeHomeschool.org is managed by Learning By Grace, Inc., the foremost leader in online education and single-handedly changing the way Americans educate their children. Learning By Grace also manages other learning resources including The MorningStar Academy, The Grace Academy, and The Jubilee Academy.
K12FreeHomeschool.org is the first online nationally accredited K-12 private school to offer tuition-free courses. It is a ground-breaking online program that equips students with a desire to learn and allows parents to provide their children with an affordable first-class Christian education.

I think 4.95 per course for your shipping and handling is pretty reasonable, and I will be looking the site over a bit more to make my final choices. I did start, but I had to close the window because (guess–go ahead, just guess— BINGO!!) I had to deal with some kid stuff, LOL!
I am so mad! You know what a blogger does when they get mad, right? Yeah, so I’m doing it. I have just thrown away the third of 6 bottles I bought DaBaby less than a month ago. These are “Soothie” brand put out by The First Years. The bottles are cracking at the base, and then they leak. Every where. Now you know.

My kids have been asking for “wheelies“. Every time we go out we see somechild go whizzing by, and some child-of-mine grabs my arm and points, reduced to guttural sounds of intense desire. “Oh, ooh, uh, ah, want, ug, that, om”. Real coherent, I know, but I’ve been living with them for several years now, so I understand what they mean. What they are actually asking for are heelys, but I had to look online to find that out. Now, I don’t think we’ll do the heelys, because really, they aggravate me. No reason, really, if I have to be honest, except that kids should not have wheels in their shoes. I’m lame that way. I might end up getting them some rollerblades, though. We’ve been enjoying the skating rink, and I know they’d enjoy having their own skates instead of the rentals.
I like that 123Skate will let me exchange my order if I mess up and get the wrong size. I also like that they encourage customers to call, if they want to “order from someone with a pulse.” Any place that makes me giggle gets bonus points, ykwim? And they are in Florida, so it shouldn’t take long to get my order.
