School
School is in full swing. We are lagging behind already. I simply do not have the resources that I need. We are needing math curriculum. I suppose it will just have to wait until February. I had hoped that we could already have everyting by then, but it looks like that will not be the case.
However, we fear not. We are using many online resources. I just don't have enough time to find them all and print the amount of stuff I need for all four of the littles.
Here are some that I have found that have wonderful worksheets and/or core standards lists. Enjoy...
This one has a list of state standards for all grades.
This has some great interactive lessons.
I love, love education.com.

Beginnings
I don't have a clue what I am doing. I want to blog and I was told that this is one of the best blogging sites there are, so here I am.
A short introduction:
My name is Amanda. I am engaged and I have four wonderful children that I homeschool. Oh, did I mention that I also work full time? I am a dispatcher for the local Sheriff's Office. I work twelve hour rotations at night and do my level best to be up for at least the first four hours of school in the mornings when I get home. My children are pretty self-sufficient. There are three boys and a bouncing three year old baby girl who acts like she is thirteen years old. They are 12, 11, 8 and of course 3. The older two can cook and clean and do just about everything that needs to be done on the occasions that I do actually get to sleep. That doesn't happen very often. I am sooo tired. All the time. Hence the beginning of this blog. I seriously need something to keep me awake at work and this seemed like it would be a great way to do that.
I shall start this off with a wonderful link for free worksheets that I have found. It is one of those "full access with membership" sites, which I am not fond of, but it has an extensive array of free worksheets and other such awesome things as well.

Try it. You might just find something you can use. :)
