Possible Writers Block??

As I sit here trying to decide on what to write-I got to thinking that maybe it's a sign of writers block that I've heard people talk about. I've heard of creative blockage but I cant really say I ever had a writer block. Maybe I did in High School but I would have had  a hard time remembering  that since that  was many many years ago since I stepped foot into a High School Building. But I can tell you, this blockage is extremely annoying and boring.  


There are so many things running thru my mind I just can not figure out how to put them down. Well at least good enough for you to understand. There is a lot more that goes into writing a good blog post then just blurting it all out and not caring about the words, grammar or spelling. I use to be like that. But I am changing a little everyday. I'm not saying I'm the best writer in the world but posting on my blog is helping me become a better writer everyday. I guess you can say this is just practice for me. I am not always perfect when I write and a few mistakes of spelling and grammar may creep its way into a few of my posts but I am trying the best I can to catch them and change the mistakes. But, I think as long as I try to fix them and not try to just "I don't care" about them I think that is all that matters to me.

I want to write about something good, Something that will interest many readers but as of right now I have nothing in this brain of mine.

So for my fellow Bloggers out there. Where do you draw your inspirations? What would you love to read about? What do you not like to read about? I am very curious to know what you enjoy reading. By this will help me be more inspired to write what you like.

I know I can write about my daily life but usually its quit boring and same things everyday so I would hate to bore you with it. I will post if something interesting happens of course. But I would LOVE to post a little more then just my life.

So as you  finish reading my post, hop on down to the comment section and leave me a comment and tell me what you would like to read more of from Bloggers & where you draw your inspiration from when blogging on your blog.

I will post a few Related articles that my interest if you ever get where I am at right now.

Home School or Part Time Home Schooling on my Mind

Image by chefranden via Flickr

Last night, I have been looking into additional subjects for my children. Not actually a home school type subjects but I guess its similar. I do not necessarily want to home school them  because I enjoy them going to school because I would like for them to be around that type of environment. But I feel like we as parents should be a little more involved in learning. I mean my kids do get homework, but some homework well is not really that good (well for me it's not ) I would enjoy doing more hands on learning with them. We do their spelling words etc etc but I mean more. Additional Subjects.


 
So I signed my four boys up for this free curriculum that I can do with them, I think that additional learning will possibly help them in their already studies subjects. Now they have this Online Public School Program where its support by the Public school, same curriculum as the schools and they send you all coarse material and you have an one on one with teachers either by phone or online, all certified through the state of Florida. But for my K-5th graders would have to go full time which means be home school I do not want to do that. So I just signed my K-3 for some additional free curriculum which is through  Headoftheclass.com So I will be doing that with my K-3 they do not have anything more then that for 4-5.
 
NOW for my oldest daughter, through the Public School Program they have a part time program that is free, that she can do along with going to school, its for Middle School and High School Students. She has extra curriculum she can learn Spanish/Chinese/Psychology etc. and its free, I am  thinking about doing that with her. She wants to be fully home schooled but I know my mother will not sit well with that. She will basically thinking have a fit. I know she doesn't run my life, but to me her opinion does count and i respect that. 

 I do not think going to Public school is bad. I mean, they socialize and they learn. If a parent is on top of what their child is doing they will be okay. You cant be to strict or To soft on the kids these days. Sometimes they think they are adults, but other times they are still just children and need guidance. So Do not try to be too much of a parent be sure to be their friend. For kids do not tell parents anything if they just see them as just parents, Be their friend also..they will come to you and tell you anything..just do not over react. Show concern and care. They will appreciate that more and you have to know more of what they are doing they wont be likely to hide things from you. 
Always!! Always monitor them online. Never let the kids go without knowing what going on. Make a deal that if they want email you  must know their user name and password this goes for FB and Myspace. If you have FB or Myspace add them you can monitor them by not really being nosey but just being there. We all can read our friends wall at anytime and see who their friends are.

My After School Routine

Good Morning My Fellow Bloggers/Blog Readers Image by double-h via FlickrToday has been such a mellow morning, since the kids have left for school. I actually thought I was going to be thrown off our routine this morning. I have changed the place where I usually store the Kids school cloths for the next day. The past few days, I've been storing ONLY their school cloths in my room. I have one of those Metal Bar Roller type things in my room, where I have some hang up clothe shelf. I've been storing their cloths there, But I moved on out by where the front door is, In that area there is a place to put their shoes ( I make them change their school shoes & take off their school cloths and hang their book bags at the front door area) so they do not track dirty onto my floor. There is a clothe shelf with six drawers, where they will have already selected cloths to put on and a basket to put their school cloths to be washed right away. I must do this from the front door or Ill be missing school cloths.Belts,socks and shoes if I do. not So this is so much easier for me to keep track. They already have their cloths picked out and they just put those on before fully entering the house. I do not like when they come home and throw their book bags everywhere and also I do not like them to just go into their school bags and keep pulling out papers because many papers get lost and homework is not done because they misplaced them so I do not allow them to go into the book bag I take them at the front door and hang them up right away. Then after there are all dressed in their house/play cloths, they can enter and head to the kitchen where I make them an after school snack (they are hungry monsters when they get home). They eat snack; they also have a small break before we do homework, they usually go to the bathroom, or whatever they want (no video games thou till after homework). About 30 mins to an hour later, I pull out the "Home work Box" which is a plastic box that has all their supplies to do homework. I did this, this year because I was so tired of hearing "Mom I do not have a pencil/pen." "Mom, I do not have paper or crayons" well this year my mom and I stacked up on extra school supplies. I did end up sending the teachers the cheaper stuff (because they do not actually give the supplies to my kids they share them around so I kept the good stuff at home for homework use) *shhhhh lol* Then I go into their book bags and pull out all the folders and Homework and separate homework and put in one section, Papers that need to be signed (except agendas) go in my Folder to be signed. and Agendas go in their own pile to be read and signed. I usually try to do the youngest to the oldest first, But usually whoever wants to start. I also do quizzes with them especially on their spelling words, they really enjoy that. Then I sign all the papers/behavior sheets and then when they are done with homework I check it off on their agenda and sign them. Then they can do whatever. Well that is my after school routine
