Keep your hands and arms inside The Box until your life comes to a complete stop (Homeschooling Adventure Part III)

It was 2:15 am.  We were woken with the running of child-like feet into our room, “DAD!  DAD!  Wake up!!”

I pause in my story to tell you, it was a Tuesday night, so Jeff had to be up for work at his normal 3:15 – 3:30. I will also add, we didn’t have any babies at the time – this was a long-legged boy type child – who was quickly nearing teen-hood.

Jeff sat up, gasping, “What?!!!”  I too sat up, adrenalin pumping.  “Dad, have you EVER heard of the Battle of Cowpens during the Revolutionary War?”  I flopped back down, rolled over and covered my head.

The history geeks were at it again.  The two of them sat and discussed this great tactical battle, which had GRAND historical significance, allowing the recapture/conquest of South Carolina.  At 2:15 am.  By choice.  With delight.  Guys!  

Beauty, in the eyes of the Beholden

After a very busy week, rich with new work, sick Mom (never good) and frozen pipes (even worse) I finally am coming up for some air.

This post is the yammering of a recovering Mom with a lot of laundry that needs to be caught up, but thinks that that the pipes are acting frozen again. Therefore, I am employing the Scarlet O’Hara method of problem solving, and blogging instead of thinking about it.
