  1. Maybe you could pay the additional $200-250 a month until you know for sure if you will move or not. You could then sign a lease when you find out you will stay for the year(and stop paying the extra $ per month). Or, you DO end up moving, but it only cost you $200 extra for a couple months vs thousands by breaking the lease. Make sense?

     

    You pay a bit extra, but peace of mind and not signing a lease until you know for sure would be worth it.

    *sorry!! Just read that you don't have that extra to spare. Such hard decisions. I totally understand (we are in a super high cost of living state too!)

  2. We have someone who is pre-diabetic in our home. After little info from our endocrinologist and much research of my own-we are trying to stay low-glycemic.

    There are many wonderful info/cookbooks about eating low-glycemic foods. I was surprised that potatoes were an issue, but sweet potatoes were good. Cinnamon is supposed to help lower the inuslin levels(I think-it does something good).

    Fiber and protein!

  3. I could have written your post (the OP's). In fact, I pondered those same thoughts when we started homeschooling. To sum it up, yes :iagree: I felt that there was so much emphasis on history. Thoughts and decisions about it truly stressed me out. We decided to use living books for history and it has worked out great(my dc are under 9). More of a low key approach to history and science.

  4. I agree with Jennefer and AutumnOak. I have found this thread very encouraging as well.

     

    So, maybe we are not oddballs {thinking we are the only homeschoolers not in a co-op} We are not the only ones. I think it's just that many people who are involved in a co-op are more vocal about it. YKWIM? I know several homeschool moms in real life who are not part of a co-op. Including homeschool moms who have graduated dc and never participated in a co-op or group.

     

    Hope I'm not taking a tangent with my reply. Just wanted to share some encouragement.

  5. I love coffee, but I can not make a good cup of coffee:tongue_smilie: I grind my beans, measure with TB, and try to follow the directions. It's always either too weak or too strong. I've also tried just winging the measuring. Still, I get a bad cup of coffee. I made a pot this morning and it's so weak. Now I need to re-make the pot. I'm becoming a bit obsessed.

     

    How do you make coffee? Measure? Don't measure?:bigear:
