7 Quick Takes: January 28, 2012 (Vol. 110)

I’ve been sick all week, and this has been pretty miserable.  It’s mostly just stuffed up sinuses, along with a headache (because my sinuses are stuffed up) and tiredness (because I’m not sleeping well because, well you know).

I have a sneaky suspicion that having the weather go between warmish to really cold, from raining to snowing, and all kinds of other things is just not conducive to me getting better.

Isn’t it funny how when you’ve been sick for several days in a row, you sometimes start to think that you’re never going to be well again.  Even when you know you’ll get better (or you hope, at least!), you just get caught up in the moment of being sick.

While our homeschooling has been kind of off and on this week (our attendance sheet looks like we’re just taking random days off, and the house isn’t looking very good either), you can read about a fun project we did when the kids were a bit younger with one of our favorite books – The Missing Piece.

You can read my post, Creative Writing Inspired by Favorite Books, over at The Happy Housewife this week!

Despite our very off schedule due to my illness, I must be doing something right.

This week, Molly said to me, “When I’m a Mom, I think I want to homeschool my kids too.  I think they’d like that.”

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway at The Homeschool Classroom to win a registration ticket to The 2:1 Conference.  The conference is only 90 days away!

Okay, so I always get stuck on #6.  I have no idea why.  The last time that I was working on my seven quick takes and told Eric that I was stuck, he said, “Wait.  I know this.  You’re on number six, right?”

So, after being stuck here for a while, I thought I would share a great $2 personalized t-shirt deal (just the $2 plus shipping):

I have a new yum-o snack that I’ve had a few times at night.  I’ve been skipping out on most sweets, so this is a fun sweet to have and I don’t feel bad about it.

I cut up about 8 – 10 strawberries, throw in a teaspoon of sugar, and then a couple of tablespoons of Reddi Whip.  Now that I haven’t really been having desserts much at all, this definitely feels like a wonderful dessert.  Of course, I figure it will be even better once early summer rolls around and we get to go strawberry picking.  (Oh, and then we’ll have to make strawberry freezer jam, of course.)
