My girl is gone. :(

Next Fall someone remind me not to try winter promise. It won't work for us.

Ds was in a single car accident--thanks for all your prayers! His FB status? "It's scary how you can do everything to take careof your health and safety then get killed in a car crash. Lucky to have survived a crash going 70 without a scratch on me"

Ds starts new job tomorrow. Metro=$15 a day, so he's joining the YMCA to use their parking lot and walking about .5 mile instead! #cleverhomeschooledman

Day 3 of public high school and I already hate it :(

Not happy with sons public school schedule. Gym twice a day, yet no history class.

My children are declining to do school today because they don't "feel" like it. I'm wondering if my play should be (i) "I beg to differ" or (ii) "OK, let's scrub toilets for eight hours." I'm going to sip my coffee for a few minutes and let them think I'm actually considering their demands.

SparklyUnicorn was *not* today's top poster! I'm in shock! :D

A poorly timed vacation and now the decision to keep on going with school or hang it up for the summer. Grrr . . . I hate making these decisions!

Anybody watching the Pope trip to Jerusalem?

dad do not be mad at us if you see it. we are very sorry.

I just wish I could find the history curriculum that had "gobs" of literature with the textbooks. I mean how hard could this be. Really hard! It was really neat and I did not save the link ... whine.

Feeling sorry for myself today. Angry, overwhelmed, and sad. Dh is deploying soon.

How many licks does it take to get to the centre of a Tootsie Pop?
