Whether you decide to homeschool your children, send them to public, parochial or private school, families do what they do because it works best for THEIR family. Okay, now to part where I vent. I was speaking to someone today who had enrolled her ten-year old son in a cake decorating class. When they got there he was the only boy and he refused to go in. I would say that is a pretty normal reaction for a boy that age. The mom, on the other hand, got mad at her son and told him he was behaving like a public school kid. WHAT??!!! Like I said before, families choose to school their children in a way that works for THEIR family. We are lucky that we live in a time and a place where we have those choices. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use your choice to teach your children that your way is better and those other kids are just a bunch of sorry suckers. I have no tolerance for people who teach their children to hate or in any way look down at other people.

This is why everyone needs a sibling. Today was a rainy day and since we couldn’t go play outside they spent part of their morning using these blankets to dress up as ghosts, to wrap themselves up like burritos and to wrap each other up to the point where they both would fall over giggling.
I just turned in my last assignment of the summer. Yippee! I now, officially, only have four more classes to take which I will have finished by this time next year. So now I can relax and read what I WANT to read until mid-August when classes start up again.
