Today I didn’t really get much school done. We did do some together stuff though. In History we read about Eli Whitney and the cotton gen. I liked him. I read a school reader about him once, and it was my favorite genre, historical fiction. We read about Peter denying Jesus in Bible. We noticed that one of the other deciples was with him though, and he was know in the court and he wasn’t afraid of being arrested. I wonder if not talking to Peter was a sin of omission though?

Today was a busy day. I didn’t get much school done. I did language arts, science, some Bible, and some English. That was all, but we did have a busy day. We started with mom reading “How to Stay Christian in High School” out loud to us. Then I did spelling with mom, after that the day started to get crazy. We went to the eye doctor so I could get contacts for Nutcracker. (Go Nutcracker!) Then we went to the dance store for me to get tights, for Nutcracker. (Did I mention Nutcracker is next week?) And we checked out the leotards while we were there. (They were on a buy one get one half off sale.) Then we went home and ate lunch. We left again to go to the library. We were at the library until it was time for me to go home and get ready for ballet. I went to ballet, dad picked me up and we went to meet somebody at the library. We got home at eight ‘o six. We ran over to our neighbor, N’s house to give her something I found in my room and then we went home and I had dinner. So you can’t blame me for not getting much school done because I was gone for most of the day. I brought school with me to the eye doctor, did some after I ate lunch, and brought science to the library and did that there. So, that was “Vella’s Busy Day” by Vella M. Karman, be sure to read the rest of her little children’s collection.

We read a poem named, “Sweet and Low.” Seriously. But it was not about the fake type of sugar. (It was written before that was invented.) It was describing the western wind. I assure you, it was weird, but it was short at least.
Today we read about sad things in history. We read about the storming of Bastille and the rein of terror that followed. We also read about Catherine the great. She was really great. The guillotines of France were horrible. Sometimes when people get put in a position of power they get scared and accuse everyone around them of treason, it is sad.

President of the United States Donald Trump put travel limits on the eight countries that did not succeed or try to meet minimum security requirements for the country’s citizens that might be terrorists given out by the US 50 days ago to every country in the world. They are Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. The restrictions we altered for each country based on their internal security.
“Frrreezing?” “Not Us Bugs!”
by Vwala •
According to bug experts, bugs will be moving into your home to escape the cold weather. So seal all those doors and windows if you don’t want to share your home for the winter. They say that they can also be castaways on furniture, groceries and so on. So you might want to shake out blankets and other things from the garage before you bring them inside. Termites however can not be prevented by closing windows and doors, so you should really have an expert check your house for them so your walls don’t crumble next time you go to paint. Waiting too long makes it harder for the exterminators to deal with it. Because of weather predictions we are expecting more mosquitoes. Lots of excess rainwater plus a warm winter means more baby mosquitoes are born later. Experts are expecting more bugs in houses overall this winter because of the amount of rain, which displaces many bugs looking to stake out the cold underground. So keep an eye out for bugs, they might be staying in your warm house!

This week I was sick. It was not fun, I had a cold, a cough, a fever for some of it, and I missed most of parent observation week at ballet. I did some school though.
I think it must have been hard for Jesus to hang out with Judah all that time. He knew that Judah was going to betray Him, and that He was going to suffer from it. It must have been even harder the days before when He knew Judah was thinking about it, and when He made Judah a disciple. I mean, if I knew the future I might not have told Judah where I was going that night, I personally might have sent him on a loooooong errand that night until I was safe in hiding. Luckily, Jesus is not like me.
