Seventh Carnival of Educators, Lost in time

Welcome to the December 8, 2009 edition of carnival of educators.  As today is December 9th, it is clear that I have lost track of time. 

It is so easy to lose track of time when you are homeschooling as it is so easy to go off of a Monday through Friday Schedule.  I find myself constantly asking my worker-bee husband what day it is, because when you are living and learning, it really doesn't matter... unless you miss a due date like I did with a carnival.  But if I had some volunteers for hosts (hint, hint) it would be less likely to happen. 

And so I present to you the Seventh Carnival of Educators, Lost in time edition. There's no rhyme or reason to order, or time space continuum in this blog post but it's all good reading so enjoy!
