    Jessica.....

     

    Please know I am praying for you......I wanted to send you a few :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

     

    Also, I was divorced but I was not homeschooling at the time. But, my aunt has done it and she just found "freelance" type jobs...tutoring, parenting coaching, homeschooling, child care etc.

     

    Good luck and hugs to you and your family,

    We do eggs in a bag....you buy ziploc (must be name brand) freezer bags (Quart size) you crack desired amount of eggs in bag(s) seal....scramble them by smooshing bag around add desired veggies, seasoning and cheese put in boiling water until cooked through. These are the best eggs we have had. We do this at homes too..the only dishes are knives for cutting veggies and pots for boiling. :)

    How big of a risk are tetanus, diptheria and pertussis?

    About 3 years ago my cousin, an EMT, was at an accident scene on an icy highway. She slipped on the interstate and got a superficial scrape. She, nor anyone she worked with, including her supervisor, thought anything of it.

     

    She ended up with Tetanus. She was paralyzed from the neck down for 3 weeks with a ventialator and all.

     

    This was NOT from a deep puncture wound...this was a very minor scrape.

     

    After talking to her I made my dh go get the tetanus shot the following week. Mine was cancelled due to not having enough of the vaccine in. I did not reschedule mine....I really need to...that was 3 years ago and I was well overdue (like 10 years) at that time.

     

    Just wanted to give a heads up because even knowing what I do I still have not forced myself to get it....

    FIREPROOF new movie

    in General Education Discussion Board

    My dh leaves tomorrow to move to TX. The kids and I will be following as soon as we settle on the house.

     

    We want to see this movie in the worst way. We watched the coverage on Dr. Phil today and the movie clips brought tears to our eyes.

     

    We are very anxious to be able to see this movie...but we may have to wait until it is on DVD since we will be on opposite sides of the country.

    How is the economy in your area?

    I currently live in SW Michigan. Things are bad here.....companies closing and laying off (Pfizer). My dh was affected by the layoffs. In fact, today was his last day...but, he had 4 job offers within 4 weeks of finding out that he was going to be let go. 3 of which were in the Houston, TX area......from a visit down there house hunting......the housing market is leveled off but the job market is booming....we put an offer in on a house that is in short sale and we are still waiting from the bank for an answer on that...there seem to be a few foreclosures down there but nothing like there are here....There must be 100s of foreclosures up here..in fact I have a dear friend that is going to have to let her house go into foreclosure here due to the job market here. :(

     

    So, IMHO, Michigan is tanking......it looks like TX is booming........
