Hi Alli, Boy you really are busy and I thought that I was busy. How do you find time? What kind of home business are you trying to get started? How is the home schooling coming along? That sounds very interesting and fun. I too did not have any information about my Cherokee heritage passed down, just that we have Cherokee blood and my gggrandma was full blooded and passed away at an old age, I do have a sketched picture of her and she does look very Indian but this is all that I have.

Well, it sounds like a lot. But its not really :) I think the kids & house work take up more time then anything. I need to spend less time on the computer though to get more things accomplished LOL the one home business I do is kids books....I've been w/this for about 4 yrs. its fun....great for fundraisers. the other....its a internet one I'll tell you more about it in private....I don't want to bug everyone else about them LOL Home schooling is getting better. My oldest has his moments w/it......first its too hard, then its boring, then he just wants to play, all the same excuses most kids use w/regular school & home work. But he's better at it. We're hoping to get thru his 3rd grade book by the end of the "school year". He's tested up to 5th grade w/the Curriculum we were going to start using, but it was suggested to start him at his current "regular" school level to start off w/. Its a bit of a challenge when you have 2 younger one's that can be a distraction. Yep....same here......we've got Cherokee blood....don't know where LOL My dad thought it started w/his grandma I got a copy of her picture & she too looks very Indian, but w/the research I've done so far it seems to have started w/my 4th great grandma. but that's still not definite Alli :) > Hi Alli, > Boy you really are busy and I thought that I was busy.
