A home school teen, nothing better than days with her learning just as much as she does. Sometimes, there are quotes that come out of that precious mouth that floor me, she never ceases to amaze us. Man, I kinda love that kid!

The sinking of The Titanic:
We begin watching James Cameron’s Titanic:

Spring had sprung and…………

Too smart for her own good!

So….Melody was looking at the Christmas Angel tree yesterday in Walmart .. she had tears in her eyes.. this is how it went.
Me: ” Melody, you OK?”
Melody: “no, ma…will these kids get nothing if we don’t pick one?”
Me: ” well, I’m not entirely sure about the nothing part but it may be a bleak Christmas.”
Melody: ” Can I pick an Angel?”
Me: ” yes, I suppose we could, remember we’re helping others too, we have to be as realistic as possible”
Melody: “I wanna pick _______ cause he only asked for one thing, that’s all he wants and I think that’s awesome”
Me: ” okay, if we pick him then we all give up a gift”
Melody: ” deal !!”
She grabs her angel and hands it to me ….
THAT IS CHRISTMAS! ( 2015)

A smart mama moment ( before we started home school )
Melody Anne is notorious for forgetting something in the course of a school week … so this morning I made her a big breakfast with a huge glass of OJ ( to combat any viruses that may spawn by 3:00 ) gave her meds for the Monday Headache then packed not one but two gym outfits, ran around the house and gathered anything that looked like it belonged in her backpack .. packed emergency items that may come up as an “I need” item and asked her on the way out if her allergies were acting up…
“Ma, I’m fine, I think you covered it all”
“Good, no need to call me today then”
“Well played Ma, well played”
