Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday we helped my parents with their roof. I was way too tired when we got home to blog. Monday night when we got home home I bent over to pick up something and I busted my eardrum.I have had a lot of fluid in my ears and vertigo for several years. Don't know why . I have never had a problem with my eardrum before but I do have a cold now so that may have something to do with it. Anyway I couldn't sleep Monday night because of the severe pain and nausea I was having. Yesterday I felt ok , I just can't hear well out of my left ear (barrel hearing if you know what I mean) but today I have had dizziness every time I stand, look up or close my eyes for a long time. I have had some ringing in the ear too. I didn't feel like making it to church tonight so Toodles took the kids. School is moving along. We are eager to finish our units and math. The weather has been so lovely here that we all want to be outside. As soon as I get new batteries I will post some pictures from our road trip we took earlier this month. My veggie garden is in and growing well. My flowers are blooming and they are lovely. I can't wait to post some pictures. Toodles still hasn't been called back to work but God has never ceased to provide. It is nice having Toodles home so much. Well I'm off to go read some more great posts. If you can remember, pray for me. I read that it could take several weeks for my ear to heal. Thanks and Blessings! ~ Nikki

Memory Verse
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
(Genesis 2:20-23 KJV)Introduction: Does She or Doesn’t She (Clairol Shampoo)The world sees Christianity as a male dominant religion. It’s seen as a religion dominated by men, for men. But we know that God loves women - God created woman, and has used women to bring about His plan for the world.
Assignment: Tell the world about your favourite woman in the Bible. Who is she? How did the world judge her? How does God see her? How did God use her? How has this woman affected your life? How does she inspire you to walk out your relationship with God?
I have to say my favorite woman in the Bible is the Woman with the issue of blood. Her faith astounds me sometimes. She was so sure that if she could just touch the hem of His garment (Tzit-tzit - fringe of His Tallit) she would be healed. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;(Malachi 4:2 KJV) I find that we are all like her in one way. She spent all she had to try and be healed and we try to do everything we can first before we ever give God the chance to fix it. The Scripture tells her story much better than I can .
And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
(Matthew 9:20-22 KJV)
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
(Luke 8:43-48 KJV)
I love the depiction of this woman in this painting by Simon Dewey.

Snowy day
We had some typical Tennessee weather today. After normal Spring like temps today turned cold with snow showers with some areas getting an inch or more. Spring is supposed to return tomorrow though. After school today we watched the snow fall and did some housework. We had drama practice tonight. I am supposed to do my post for BFS today but I have some more thinking to do over this week's assignment.So basically what I am trying to say is that I do not feel very productive today. It seems like we did a lot but accomplished very little. Ever had a day like that? Blessings! ~ Nikki

Website of the Week 4 - 6 - 2009
I found this week's site while searching for places to upload my videos of our crab. You can only upload a max video size of 100mb (that is why I had to post my longer video at youtube) but it seems like an excellent source for homeschoolers. Be sure to check it out and have a great week. Blessings! ~ Nikki
