Praying hard

I don’t know of a source for homeschool grads. But I’m a homeschool mom who has completed her task and is looking for work. I’d be interested to hear what type of work you’re hiring for . You can message me Kim

I’ll mask once I start teaching. Maybe 30% of students mask and I’m usually one of the only faculty masked. I’m decades older than the faculty so they leave me be and are respectful but many of them have had Covid 3-4 times already. If I get it, I get it but I’ll do everything I can to try and dodge the bullet. My family masks almost all the time. Not outside. Too hot but definitely inside unless actively eating. My son is a T1 diabetic. We don’t know how it’ll affect him so we’re cautious. If people look at me funny I just smile and move on. I have no problems with others not masking as long as they are respectful of me., but I do think wonder if masks hadn’t become so political if we would have seen the back of this a while ago.

I completely agree

Ok. I’m truly an idiot. I must need a long vacation on a beach. I confused CC-Community College with CC - Classical Conversation a popular homeschool organization when I was schooling my kids. If you could see my red face 🙃🙃. Disregard my post. It has been a real benefit to my kids to have plenty of night class options at CC (hee hee). Gave them more flexibility to work. But it is nice when they have multiple time options for classes when they can. I better go to sleep. I clearly need it.

I feel for you. I remember the Tetris days and I get hot flashes. Lol. CC was always during the day when I was homeschooling. I’m sad that they are moving to the afternoon/evening. I liked classes class that were during school hours that wouldn’t conflict with extracurricular activities. I wonder what their reasoning is. Maybe trying to meet needs of school kids who want to participate? Discouraging.

Under the guidelines you’ve listed, I would have no problem with any of my kids going. You’ve covered all the things I’d be concerned about.

Same here. Our biggest problem is marital privacy. 😇. We can’t even have a private conversation without hiding. Our house is small. Which is fine. But it feels like it’s getting smaller. Lol

I did the same And knowing what I know now, I wish I had had the money to send them away to school 😂

I remember older women telling me don’t sweat the baby/toddler/teen years….that the adult living at home years are the worst. They weren’t ,kidding We raised our kids on a steady diet of discussing and working out conflict and processing emotional stuff. I’m glad we did but I am so throughly exhausted processing with my 3. I’m glad they value my opinion but half the time they get frustrated with my input and I end up saying, “then don’t ask me!?!?’ I also know far more about my kids ‘Lives’ than I wanted to. 😂. I’ll always be there for them but some days I wished I lived somewhere with more affordable housing so they could get out. Lol

I’m a Questioning RC 🙃, so I’m not sure I’m the best person to give advice, but I will say one thing. Organizations including churches do not do a good job of protecting, validating or being in reality about volunteers. Especially when it comes to Childrens or music ministry. I second all the people who said establish what you can/can’t do for your church and sooner rather than later inform your vestry. Outline the scope of what you’ve been doing. Make informed recommendations for going forward and let them know what you’re willing to do starting X date. Do this now. Before you “go round the bend”. I wish I had. I saw some very ugly behavior from my leadership because I wasn’t able to handle the meeting with grace after some things were “said” to me and about me. It has opened up a lot of pain. I’m coming out from under it now but it has damaged many relationships I had at my church for me and eroded my faith in my parish’s ability to be involved in my spiritual leadership. My jobs were part paid and part volunteer so it may be not truly apply, but this is a way to long post to say……speak up before you aren’t able to do so in a calm, deliberate way.

Had my second in 2000 also but he was such a nightmare I don’t remember much of that year and wasn’t really in the place to do anything but survive. Lol. My organization came 2 years later after #3

I still have all sorts of playmobil in my house. My 24,22,20 year olds won’t let me get rid of them.

2004. A playmobil catapult knight and dragon. Oh….simpler times 😂

Each of my kids have a night to cook and they get to choose the menu. If they get me the ingredients before I shop, I will get the stuff, but after they have to. My two meat eaters are not required to cook food my Vegan can eat, but it is sweet that they try to rotate between meat meals and vegan meals. My Vegan has made some AMAZING meals but they are time consuming so she's getting more simple now.
