Mt. Pleasant Classical Academy

Haven’t been feeling like writing much lately, could claim it is due to the ice storm that locked us down for several days last week.  Could claim it is the bum knee that still hurts and keeps me from taking a walk, or from walking Brutus.  Could claim it is the pressure of homeschooling, and guiding a teenager through these critical high school years, and balancing the demands of Science Olympiad preparation with everything else in life, ……  But it really isn’t any of those things.    

We visited the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute last Friday.  All 100,000 of us, trying to see the artifacts.  DH summed up the experience nicely; didn’t know we were going to the zoo today.  Yep, way too many folks, way too many lines to look at the artifacts, which was after the long line for our timed-ticket to enter the exhibit which was supposed to limit the crowd IN the exhibit.  We hit the road out of there without visiting other exhibits in the institute.  I feel that we are all musuemed out for awhile.

On the home front the boys have been kicking around a name change for Brutus.  MilitaryKid has been reading Trojan War, so today he suggested that we change the pups name to A-Chill-ie, just like the hero in the Trojan War.  ScienceKid kindly suggested that he learn the correct way to pronounce the name; Achilles.   Ahhh, kids, thank goodness they are around to give me a laugh.
