Cursive Handwriting, Reading, and Life

I forgot to mention in my last post that I had a cavity. I haven't had a cavity in years and I was so, well ashamed actually that I haven't been brushing well. I didn't take care of my teeth when I was young and have many cavities and fillings. In college, I had a filling fall out and it got infected. My dentist tried to fix it but it didn't work so I had to have a root canal and crown. Last year, another filling needed to be replaced and I had an "almost" crown put on it. I don't know about all of my fillings but I wonder if eventually they'll all have to be replaced with crowns. How long does a crown last? Will this dental work ever end??? Take good care of your teeth!!!! Brush and FLOSS, learn from my mistakes. :)

I'm trying to teach our two oldest cursive using Handwriting Without Tears. But with our second, there's always tears!! :) This was our summer project that is just starting to gain ground after moving this summer. Daughter #1 is also finishing up Saxon 5/4 before we start her on Math-U-See this fall (which book? hmm, not sure yet).

I've read several books and hope to get reviews done soon. Happy reading!
