Cell phones are amazing.  We can store a lot of information there and have it all at our fingertips in an instant.

If the phone has charge . . . .
If the wi-fi is working . . .

Most of the time it is no problem but electronics do fail.  And when they do it tends to be at the most inopportune moments.  BUT that is real life and I hope today's lesson is one you can use to get ready for emergencies and not get caught unprepared.

Embarassing moment #2011 for the homeschool mom

The doctor or another adult asks your child “So what grade are you in?”  
Child gets a blank look on their face and looks at you for the answer like they don’t have a brain in their head.  
Adult then looks at you like “didn’t you teach them ANYthing?”

Yes it happens a lot.  But it gets worse as they get older.  There is a lot of information that the rest of the world just seem to know without any hesitation that my homeschooled kids don't have in their heads. 

On Saturday I read a whole book in one day.  That hasn’t happened in a really long time!  It was raining and it seemed like the perfect thing to do.  Sometimes our bodies just need time to rest and recuperate from everyday living.

Normally my reading is confined to waiting rooms and the 30 minutes before bedtime and that just isn’t enough to satisfy my desire for reading!
