A Day in the Life of a Homeschooler
Mondays are our busy days! We go to our Support group. Where we have Reading Club,Drama,Gym and do Science Experiments.
The rest of the week we start our day at 10:00 am.I have classes in Grammar,Spelling,History,Math,Journaling, and Reading. I love to be home schooled. This month I'm doing a project on Egypt. There's so much to learn about other countries. I'm also learning about different types of music. My favorite music right now is Hannah Montana and Nickleback.
Join me on my home school journey weekly as I tell you about all the fun stuff we do.
I built a bird house this week. It was lots of fun. I'm also going to learn about pottery. I bought a pottery wheel and were going to make a mug. Pics to follow as soon as I get batteries.
Join me on my home school journey as I show you pics of my field trips and projects that I do at home.

Pit Bulls and Stereotypes
What is the first thing you think about when you hear the word Pit Bull. Is it a loving dog or a dog that can easily rip out your throat. I work in Retail and see a lot of the same customers on a daily basis. Some of them know about my Pit Bull Odie. There are some people who jokingly say to me, I see you still have a face, well of course I still have my face intact. Just because I own a APBT doesn't mean that one day all of a sudden, I'm not going to have my face.
I've always been in love with the so called dangerous dog breeds. Growing up I had a German Shepherd who I loved to death and when her passing came, I was devistated. My uncle had a husky and my aunt had APBT's. So I've always been around these types of dogs. Now I also have a chow mix who is very much a chow personality. She loves everyone unless they start to act stupid. She would die to protect my 4 yr old, and would definately attack an intruder to her own demise. So you ask me why these types of dogs and not some silly little foo foo dog who would just want to sit in your lap.
Well here's your answer. I do have silly little foo foo dogs that want to just sit in my lap. Odie sleeps in bed with me which I know when he's a yr old he will be way to big for our queen sized bed but until then he will curl up in bed with us. My chow mix Pinky who's all black would die for us, just because she loves us so much. Odie wouldn't hurt a fly unless it was a toy. Big bad Pit Bull, I don't think so.

This is what I am
So you walk down the road and see this highly muscular dog wagging his tail and coming towards you. What could it be. It's an apbt otherwise known as a pitbull. Responsible owners have trained their dogs to sit and wait. You look into those big brown eyes or blue and all the dog wants to do is lick you. Yes, for most pitbulls that are bred properly in the right enviroment. They are the biggest babies in the world the only thing you really have to worry about is the slobber.
Just look at this pick of our Odie. Odie was bred for temperament, looks and for weight pulling. Pitbulls are the strongest dogs for their size. Odie's dad can pull 2900lbs. That's a ton and 1/2. Well just because they were bred for such strength doesn't mean they are going to use it. Odie just loves to be loved. Every night I come home from work, I let him out of his crate and am greeted by my other shaggy beast of a dog. I get licked to death. We work with Odie several times a day doing obedience as by the time he's a yr old, I want him to be able to pass the CGC. If you really want to learn about this breed look at a shelter or a reliable breeder. These dogs are awesome! Why do you see such bad press about these dogs, ask the owner of any dog that's bitten before and see what the answer is. They probably didn't socialize the animal. Apbt's need socialization and a ton of it. From 4 wks of age. They need to know ppl are there to provide for them and care for them. Before judging an entire breed of dog, think about the irresponsible people who want these dogs.
