Morning Mathy-ness


7:28 AM - Ki completed 29 minutes at Khan Academy. I was still asleep. (Ki plans to earn his Ludicrous Listener Badge today)

8:42AM- I read a few current news articles. School Shooting in Rio De Janeiro. SuperBug Gene found in Delhi Drinking Water. More earthquakes/Tsunamis in Japan.

9:07AM- Connor does 2 minutes of math exercises at Khan in 3 different areas? FOCUS!! What can you accomplish in about 45 seconds in Logarithms?? (he ended up spending 80 minutes there. 45 is the required amount. he'll probably just do 10 minutes tomorrow to make up the difference-in reverse)

9:19AM- I am in my PJs in my bed, enjoying new bedsheets. They are so pretty. It is overcast today. I have tea........... I may not leave this spot today.

9:37AM- I Finally achieved Proficiency in Division level 3!!

Ki seems to like the little badges he can earn at Khan Academy. He likes that there are videos to watch. I challenged him to earn some of the Listener Badges this week- for listening to/watching certain videos. I have never seen him just get up and do math. Also- he has been riding his bike everyday. Physical exercises always helps him school. I wonder if the 2 things are related.....

My math abilities are pretty non existent. I'm plan of kinda sticking to doing the stuff Ki does. Ki's other challenge this week is for a badge for reaching level 4 in add., sub., mult., and division. I am working on that badge, too. I have 2 level 4s and 2 level 3s.

My goal is to avoid Alzheimers and Dementia by keeping my brain learning new things. At least I have a goal.


The men in the house are going to a Gun Shooting Church Function Saturday.

My friend andher daughter might spend the night Friday, because they have somepleace to be in the area at

That is way too much math for me today. Youngest and I have been sitting at the kitchen table doing homework for the last 4 hours.

That french toast sounds amazing... sounds like my Pina Colada pancakes. :)

I need to check out the Khan Academy. I knew of it, but didn't know it became interactive, I thought it was just a bunch of videos.
