Valentine's Day Party

Homeschool Valentine's Day Party ~ Wednesday, February 14, 2007 ~ 10:00 - 11:00 at the Covenant Church
Each family please bring a snack to share. Each person, please bring valentines if you'd like to exchange them, and a finished container to collect your valentines. We will eat treats, hear a story, exchange valentines and play a game or two. Mom's, feel free to come along and meet for coffee. Please reply with a list of who will be participating from your family to Angie Janzen. (ajanzen@ks-usa.net) She will be sending out a list of those who will come, so you can address your valentines.

Missions Luncheon

The missions luncheon will be on Feb. 21, 12:15 P.M., in the Covenant Church gym. For those who are new to the group, our church has visiting missionaries during a week in February and we take the opportunity to spend some time with them. We invite them to lunch and then listen to them talk about the country they serve and their work. It is an enjoyable time to fellowship and your kids get some geography. Each attending family is asked to bring a pot of soup (already warm and ready to serve) and a small label telling what kind of soup it is. Table service and crackers will be provided. We will just serve water to drink. It is helpful to know how many will be attending so that tables can be set up and tableware planned. Cheryl Clark from Ecuador will be our missionary this year. We will be done by 2:00. This activity will take the place of P.E. that day. Contact Reva at (jresh5@sbcglobal.net)

Show Description:

Thirteen year-old Edwina Spoonapple would do just about anything to be a
part of the Kalamazoo Advice-apalooza Festival. While her siblings both
have proof "up on the fridge" of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has
nothing. When a talent scout from the convention visits her hometown of Paw
Paw, Michigan, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the
family garage in hopes of finding her space in the spotlight.

AAADD

A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at
my GMC and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is
mail on the porch table that I brought up from the
mailbox earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the GMC.
I lay the keys down on the table, put the junk mail in
the garbage can under the table, and notice that the
can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and
take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the
mailbox when I take out the garbage
anyway, I may as well pay the bills
first.

I take my checkbook off the table,and see that there
is only one check left..

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the
house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been
drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to
push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock
it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should
put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke a vase of
flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be
watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter,and I discover my
reading glasses that I've been searching for all
morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first
I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a
container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will
be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that
it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den
where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of
it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some
towels and wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I
was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
* the GMC isn't washed
* the bills aren't paid
* there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
* the flowers don't have enough water
* there is still only one check in my check book
* I can't find the remote
* I can't find my glasses
* I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done
today,I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day
long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to
get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favor, will you?
Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember
to whom it has been sent.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet,your day is coming!
