Before IndianaJane revokes my award, I think perhaps I better accept it. Then she can’t start having second thoughts about this being one of her favorite homeschooling blogs because “I get it?” Get what, you might ask? Not sleep, that is for sure.
Any way, it is with most humble appreciation that I accept the Brilliante Weblog Award. Almost, but not quite, a month behind. But who has time for that, or even blogging, when there is so much dreaming to be done?
And if any of you has any insight into a little Blogger problem I am having, I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. I am putting together a blog for the Nebraska Home Educator’s Political Action Committee, and having some coding issues. This is just my sandbox, mind you. But I cannot figure out why the little gray box at the front of every entry says “undefined.” It is supposed to have the date of the entry there. Any ideas?
And now some worthy blogs for you to check out as I honor them with this meme award, in no particular order other than the order in which they pop into my head:
Susan at Corn and Oil. Mostly because she just got some chicks and has been chasing crickets. I am so looking forward to hopefully doing that in the spring. She has a nice homeschool blog, too.
Jena of Yarns of the Heart because I just “met” her and am enjoying her blog. You should particularly check out her entries on Holt Online Essay Scoring. Computer programs now assigning grades to writing assignments…and you have to earn a four to graduate! How hard is it to bluff an essay with a computer for a grader? Her son decided to find out. Would you have graduated with an essay like that?
Life on the Planet. Because who else would have a party for Gustav? Hurricanes are so underappreciated.
Jennifer from Diary of 1. Just because mostly. She is a formerly homeschooling mom in Oregon but just returned to the classroom. Big transition and I’m hoping she is able to post a little about helping her children with that. Cause you know she should take all her blogging cues from me.
Sunniemom from A Woman On Purpose because she just got tagged and I thought she needed to be tagged again.
Principled Discovery is a place to stop and discuss news and information related to faith, family and particularly education. Pour yourself a cup of tea and join the conversation! 
THANK YOU!! Not feeling too “brillante” today, but I gratefully accept my award.
I do have a post swirling around about helping my kids with the transition, and as I write, my 7 y.o. daughter is telling me, “I’m not so sure about school. Once I figured out I had to be there ALL day and not just part of the day…I’m just not so sure.”
Thanks, Dana.
I’ll get on that. It might take a bit…I do have those new chicks and they need some special treats. We’re moving them closer to the compost pile, so I might get a lucky break.
Wow! An Award!
(I feel pressure to type something profound. I’d like to thank the Academy…no, that’s not right. For score and seven years ago…Nah. That’s overkill. Well, darn it. I guess I’ll just have to wing it.)
Dana, Umm, Uh, Well, Uh…Thanks!
(Sorry, I’m just no good under pressure. But really, thanks!)
I got nominated twice and just today got around to accepting. I broke the rules of the award by passing it on to the tools on the internet that make blogging possible, but I figure home education is all about disrupting the status quo, so I figure I am operating within normal homeschool parameters. :p
wow! Thank you so much! This is my first award. So now I pass it on, right?
Oh yeah…forgot that part. Yes, you are supposed to pass it on. Share the link love.
