Back to Homeschooling, Volunteering and Hurricane Irma

We start back to homeschooling tomorrow, and just to throw a monkey wrench in it,  Hurricane Irma has it's eyes set on Florida.   So, along with starting school, I have to get together our hurricane kit.  This one is supposed to be a strong one.  We have only dealt with 1 or 2's, since moving here.  Plus, since I was diagnosed with CKD this year, I have to make sure there are appropriate foods for me in the kit.  But, tonight I am painting.  I didn't get to paint last Monday, pesky migraine, and next Monday is not looking great.

I am not doing props to Sam's Club, but seriously if you have one it is well worth the small membership fee, especially for hurricane readiness.  Yes, it is a pain having all that bulky stuff lying around, but it only lasts for a bit of time as you start to use it.  We save appx 300 dollars each month shopping once a month at Sams.

On Saturday, Sept 2, we did our first volunteer day, three hours, with Helping Hands Pet Rescue, and the kids loved it.  DJ got to be dog ambassador, and Caitlin was on kitten watch.  We will do that at least once a month, maybe twice.  We still have our other groups that we volunteer for on an as needed basis for special events.

Last Week of Summer Vacation!

Well it is our last week of Summer Vacation, and so far Isaac has avoided us. While I am relieved we still can get inundated with water once Isaac makes landfall, which is now a Cat 1 Hurricane. I grew up in upstate NY, and we would dread blizzards and snowstorms. A snowstorm, even a blizzard doesn't have anything on a hurricane. Even inland, where we live, the effects can be devastating from flooding and tornadoes. I never had a blizzard destroy my home, but you only need one tornado to destroy everything you own. It can be heartbreaking. We had a lot of rain, and flooding, from TS Debbie at the end of June. So, too much water will be devastating to this area. On a good note Isaac will be bringing much needed rain to some severe drought areas out West, so at least that is good. Prayers to everyone in the path of Isaac. Be safe and be smart!

I am looking forward to the new school year, and sharing all our adventures in learning with all of you. How are you spending the end of Summer?
