Introducing: My Room (and my sisters)

This morning, as the wind was blowing and snow was swirling, I took initiative to clean our room. - And, to "re-decorate", which can be a bit difficult if you don't have a lot to "re-decorate with". But somehow, I managed. ;)

:D I really like the above arrangement! The "flower picture" has Pslams 103:1 typed at the bottom.

It's a horrible picture, but it's the only one I've got. *ahem* The dresser features (older) pictures of my siblings et cetra, and Anna's jewlery box.

Lastly, the flower arrangement in the cute-ish glass bowl, which is displayed on the nightstand.

My New (temporary) Room

Hummers.  How are all of ya!?  I'm doin' just dandy-ful!

From the title, you may be...I dunno, well, I got a temporary room! Isaac's bed *aherm* broke, (NOT by my doing).  He got one of the sets for the bunk-bed down from the garage attic, and washed them off... I decided to go upstairs armed with...well, actually I don't think I was armed with anything, save the bed stuff. After attempting to put the two mattresses on the two "pole things" and it didn't work...I gave up...for a bit. 

 Mumzy told me that there needed to be a box-spring, or boards.   I began to think *believe it or not* and knew we didn't have a box-spring, but we did have boards.  So, up to the bedroom to find out how long the bed boards needed to be. :) I went out to the garage - armed this time with a tapemeasure, pen, and paper. 

Thus I cut boards, and finally got the bed etc. on to the bed...frame! :) 

Ike and I had made an agreement that seeing I wanted to see what it was like to have one's own room, and he liked to sleep in my bunk-bed, we would make a trade and I would sleep in his room, and he would sleep in my bunk bed. Did you get all that?

So, I spent my first night in the room by myself!  

Here's some pictures... 

Hmmm, should I move the headboard/bookshelf right there

Relaxin', and doin' school! (BTW, I highly recommend "Created for Work". It's written to boys, but is very helpful for girls as well~)

I did some of my school there, it was nice...

What it looks like now ^

School...Just Keep Going...Just Keep Going...

School...Skewl...Skool...School...Yeah, that's the subject for this wonderful post.  ( I think I have seriously seen some poeple write school like that...Skewl etc.Wow...)

I'm almost done with school!  We have about 3 more weeks of school to do, seeing that we are "doubling up". :)

Although, at the beginning and somewhat middle of the schoolyear I enjoy school, toward the end/middle of the year,  I'm ready to be done...really ready. 

How many much/more school do you all have?

Words...

Words are powerful things. - Whether we realize it or not,  by one small sentence, we can create or destroy a friendship.

 There are THOUSANDS and thousands of words in the English dialect. (Just look for a Webster's Dictionary)  : )

Here are some interesting words I found:

Bumber-shoot. You may be wondering what in the world "bumber-shoot" means.  The word Bumber-shoot means: umbrella.

Gazump: To buy something already promised to someone else.

Gobbledygook: Nonsense, balderdash.

:) What's your favorite word?! "Sawesome" is an interesting word, that I favor! (Bailey made it up....at my birthday, when she was using a british accent and said "so awesome"! : )

The Latest News

Welleth, on Thursday afternoon we went to the Menominee Tribal Clinic, and had our eye appointments.  I really didn't want to get glasses...unless we got some that I actually liked.....but they didn't have very nice ones.  So, I have contacts! :) They are SOOOOOOOOOO nice!  I was on "trial" with them until last Friday, and since I liked them, I  got  three new pairs, and get to keep those. : ) I am SO HAPPY!

An Update on Me and Mine

Also this Saturday is Maddi Stuewer's birthday!  Happy Birthday Maddi!  We are going to her birthday party, on Sunday.  

On Tuesday, I made some awesome molasses cookies. *sighs heavenly* They were SOOOOOO good.  (There is a post about them!) You really should make some.  I like *l*o*v*e molasses cookies! : )

Twelve Days of Homeschool

This is a funny song, about homeschooling that a bunch of Home school Mom's sang. :) Enjoy!

About Me

Bethany, is having a "challenge" if you want to call it, about telling about your self.  :) As you know, I'm doing it!

About Mwa...

(Kindof blurry photo. Sorry!)

My name is Kara Lynn, and I'm a...photo-crazy twelve-yea rold. :)

As you might know, I am like CRAZY about photography, and absolutely love to find the "beauty in little things".

Being a Born-Again Christian, I've come to place my trust, in Christ Jesus, and let my life sit in HIS hands, no matter what happens.

*gulp*  ;P I have been known to fuss with my siblings, and be uncheerful. But...There is always a second chance, and I am working on it. :)

I *love* "computery" things.  I like to type up the data, for the Church and Family records, and attempt to help someone out with  problems.  But note! I get a lot of things out of "googleing" and using the "help button!" :)

Nothing much...but a bit about me!  

Colds *sniffle*

The common cold.  A very common thing.  Very common. (Did I make it clear, that a cold is common!?) And VERY annoying, especially when you are singing in front of lot's of people, and your voice is all croaky, your nose is all stuffy, and you sound like a sick cow! :) lol

A cold came "come upon you" from many different viruses. :( So there is no real "vaccine" or cure for it. A cold is also know as : (These names are interesting, cause they sound like some strange..disease!) nasopharyngitis, acute viral rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza etc. 

Here are some interesting facts: Common symptoms include a cough, sore throat, runny nose, and fever. There is currently no known treatment that shortens the duration; however, symptoms usually resolve spontaneously in 7 to 10 days, with some symptoms possibly lasting for up to three weeks.[2]

\The common cold is the most frequent infectious disease in humans[3] with the average adult contracting two to four infections a year and the average child contracting between 6–12. Collectively, colds, influenza, and other infections with similar symptoms are included in the diagnosis of influenza-like illness. They may also be termed upper respiratory tract infections (URTI).

I'm sure that no one enjoys being infected by such an annoying sickness.  Here are some "cures" to help you get over your cold faster.

Mucinex

Cold and Flu Tea a wonderful cup, that will help you fight the infection.

Echinacea It's very soothing, if you get it in tea form.

Drink lot's of fluids, (water, homemade lemonade (water, lemon juice, and honey), etc.)

Inhale Steam to ease your congestion

Gargle with warm salt water.  It'll  help your sore throat.

Stay warm, and rest. When you are warm and resting, most of your energy will be put to fighting off the sickness.

Blow your nose often.  :)
