Collected links for Education and Fun...

Sigh. It appears that I have contracted the illness that has been making the rounds in my family. I had hoped that I would be passed by but as so often happens, free will is given only so much rein. Despite our fantasies to the contrary, there are some things over which we have no control -- and illness seems to be one of those.  If I were the type to speak of 'karma', I might think that I had brought it on myself, by laughing privately when my six year old announced that he was 'not going to get sick' on his brother's birthday.  I explained to him that some things are not necessarily a choice, that when your body is ill, it will do what it will do. He had no use for such an idea -- and now, I can understand why. Being sick stinks, both literally and figuratively.

But  I have never been one to recognize limits -- my husband chided me on that just the other day. He did allow as how I have gotten better during the sixteen years of our marriage but still, I find it difficult to be limited by outside forces. Laugh. And there again, I could point to 'Karma' as I have at least one child, and sometimes two, who find limitations difficult to accept. Can you imagine? An immovable object meets an irresistible force? Ah, but I am getting side-tracked here.

Though I may be ill, I still need to be doing: cleaning the house (though not cooking as I do not wish to spread the illness around again), and working at this, that, and the other project. My current project has been to compile a series of pages dedicated to the useful educational links that I have found in my wanderings in the Labyrinth called the Web. I thought, perhaps, some people might be interested so I am including links to those pages here:

L'Academie Des Chevalier History Sites

L'Academie Des Chevalier Math Sites

L'Academie des Chevalier Educational Games

LAC Homeschool blogs and Resources

LAC Writing Pages

LAC English Pages

These pages are updated regularly as there is a limited number of links that I can add per day... so check back and see what you see. I have been told by several folks with whom I shared the Educational games site that their kids are over the moon with delight -- and that they, the adults, have not had access to the computer since their kids discovered the page...
