I feel ya! Its tough. I feel like that A LOT with my oldest. Most things are battles. I feel a purge coming on thinking about it!

At the rate I am shopping for books it will be Sept! We normally start EARLY August.

:confused1: what is that?

Thanks for the food for thought ;)

MUS, History is going to be made up as we go we are using our area as our inspiration, Apologia Astronomy... The rest is unknown ATM. I need to decide and order this week! I think it must be the awful year we just had of schooling and my lack of confidence, along with a 9yr old wanting to go to public school, a new move and not having ordered anything yet. I guess I can feel overwhelmed, right??:confused:

Thank you Kathy :D

...after reading all the siggies on this forum! Maybe its all the lack of familiarity of the abbreviations. :001_huh: Or maybe it is b/c I still haven't purchased our curriculum for this yr yet! :blush:

Nope, I am thinking, man I wish I could sell this stuff so I can buy more. :lol:

Great. I have just heard great things from friends about both. I am trying to come up with a whole new curriculum. I like gentle :001_smile:

Which do you use and/or like and why? TIA :D

I am not. I am constantly annoyed and irritated w/myself. I am 5ft4 and 173. I am sooooo tired of being over weight. DH loves and adores me and doesnt mind. But I do. I wish I was more confident b/c lately I noticed that my older children have picked up on my attitude and I dont ever want them to suffer w/esteem issues in any shape or form.

We dont, though I have been on the fence for a few yrs. We had 2 boys. A vasectomy, a vas reversal and have been overly blessed with 2 more amazing babies. But right now I feel DONE, overwhelmed and exhausted. I adore infants and toddlers. My school aged ones are wearing me lately and I *think* this is causing us to feel done. I adore, and admire QF families!

Bucket, lysol, hot water, hands and knees w/a rag. But I hate it! Hurts my knees ;). I love the swiffer wetjet for quick cleans!

I wear it, mostly when I leave the house. But I do think you need to try different brands. :001_smile:

I think we will stick to our legos. They are pretty smart kiddos and can build just about anything!
