No, you are not mentally ill. Unless I am too (maybe so)
I am the same way. Moving to a different city, different job (soooo many), different career, having a baby, another baby (despite numerous fertility issues), building a house, going back to school on-line, constantly looking on-line "where can we move now". My dh refuses to, but I'm always looking at real estate on-line and looking up new city info.
Anyway, I don't know what it is either, and I am very happy too. You wouldn't think so, huh? What is missing? I think I need to focus on God more. Yes, that is the answer.

Okay, after reading all of yours, I almost wasn't going to say anything, but... Okay- Footloose! And I wanted to watch it alone so I could pretend I was in high school again. Oops, now you know how old I am!:001_huh:

I have been wearing my maternity suit for YEARS-my youngest is almost 5. But it's a very cute, black suit and I figure that no one knows me when I wear it, so what if they think I'm pregnant. I hate my legs!!!!!
-
2 days. Next question, how many days have you been wearing the same clothes? UPS came today and I was on the phone with my mom and I said "Oh no, I'm always wearing the same thing when he comes!"
I hope I'm not the only one here!!!

Is anyone else ready for Mike??? New to this, so do we JUST do Mike's on Fridays? If so, pretend you never saw this!:D

I just got one last week! The kids love it and I use it as an incentive/punishment for them. I have been hogging it, but my dh did try it the other day and really liked it. I know he could easily become addicted, he's constantly playing little games on his phone (drives me NUTS) but I figure if he becomes addicted to this, at least he'll be (hopefully) fit.
GET IT!!!

I love it because I feel like we are the same. And, it's so amazing to be able to form friendships this way. Out in the "real world" I do have other hs friends, but we don't see each other very much, and sometimes when I'm around "regular" people, I feel like I'm on a completely different wavelength; like I'm from another planet or something!

Brindee:
:iagree: I was just thinking to myself "It's a nice day get outside with the kids!" Is someone crying?:bigear:

It worked!! Thanks everyone:001_smile:

It didn't work!! It's in the part that shows "your current photo" but won't come up here.

Okay, I admit it, I am becoming glued to this board! First, I was just a visitor, now I'm constantly on it, I added a signature, and just now I added a photo. That's why I'm posting, I wanted to see if it worked & how it looked:seeya:

I am hoping it's starch from the pasta, the only thing is, I've never seen this much before! And it's on the sides as well as the bottom of the pan. Maybe it's starch and that's the way it looks on the green pan? (hoping) I did wash it, and it looks okay, so now I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I'll go the denial route & pretend it never happened.:D
-
Mine came too!!! Except I haven't gotten very far into it, and already I'm like "Oh, what is that curriculum, never heard of that" and I am already looking up reviews. Not a good thing for me!

Do most of you with AO use the library? I'm afraid I'll buy everything, which I tend to do.

Melissa:
Pray, pray, pray about it! And then listen! I pray a lot about things, but I tend not to do the listening part. I can tell you that for me, I would give up the house all my things, etc... if it meant I could continue to stay home and continue to teach my kids and have the joy (most days) of watching/listening to them. I truly feel that is MY calling. Yours may be different, but I pray that the answer will come to you.
Blessings,
Tammi

And I though Wisconsin was bad! Rain, rain go away!!! Where IS the perfect place to live?

I know how you are feeling! It just hurts your heart, probably even more than your dd is hurting! It's so hard to know what the right thing is to do. My dd had the same thing, in preschool, and I was blown away that girls could be so mean at that young age. I volunteered most days there, and had to watch my sweet throw her heart out only to have it rejected. It hurts me to think of it now! I'm sure jealousy is a huge part of the problem, and the way the other girls are being raised. All you can do is keep talking about it, and encourage her to make other friends, friends that are nice to everyone.

THANK YOU Melissa!! I needed that. I came across a quote that is perfect "Comparison is the death of contentment" how true is that?
-
My dh says I live for research, and that I research more than I teach!! That can be such a problem! So many things sound good, better than what you're doing, etc.. But one thing I've noticed on these forums, is that a lot of people are saying that simple is better. That's hard for a planner/curriculum junkie like me. Especially since I want freedom to deviate, yet I want everything all scheduled out for me! Is there "The Perfect Curriculum"? That will give the kids great literature-with a love for reading, make it fun, expand their creativity, let us deviate but keep us structured, be easy for me to understand, help them to learn the bible, love God AND be affordable? THAT's the one I want!!!!

Okay, I am on these forums a lot-as well as others, and I am AMAZED at the amount of people that have their own blog pages, whatever you want to call them. Fantastic pages with music, daily postings, curriculum info, advice, links, etc..... I can barely post on here, and you women blow my mind!!! How are they able to do this, plus homeschool and everything else? And most have at least 5 kids (I have 2). My house is a complete mess, my days are unorganized, and I look like I just crawled out of bed! I feel unworthy!!!! Please tell me I'm not the only one.:lol:

Our dog is Penny, our cat is Max. The cats I had before kids were Theo & Molly and were my kids, especially Theo. Before my son was born (about 3 years after Theo died) we were trying to come up with a meaningful boy name, and I REALLY wanted the name Theo. I said I liked the name a lot, it was different, and it would really have meaning. My husband would not agree. He didn't love Theo like I did.

Do any of you use the new "Green Pans" from HSN? Yes, I got caught up in the hype; I want to keep us safe! Anyway, we have used a few of the frying pans, and tonight I used the lg saucepan to make mac and cheese. Anyway, after I drained the water, it seemed like all of this clear stuff was totally flaking off my pan!!! And it wasn't from the water/foam from boiling. I'm so upset. I saw a post or 2 about flaking before I ordered it, but of course, dismissed it because I wanted them.
Feedback please!

Thanks Ladies!
I needed to be brought back to reality. My husband says I spend more time "researching" than I do teaching! I just want to pick the "right" thing. But they learn anyway, don't they? I need to just take a deep breath and go with what I felt was right, and that was MFW. You're right Angela, I can use the extra money to get more books, and fancy isn't always better. I'll keep you updated on our progress.
Quick-we're going on a budget!! Help me

Quick, dh says we HAVE to go on a budget-we're going to start the Dave Ramsey program we bought 6 months ago. What curriculum can I buy before we start!!! Seriously, I'm trying to rack my brain & not go crazy. My dd is all set, I think. I've got MFW 1 starting any day now, with Sonlight k coming (not sure if we're going to keep). My Sonlight k is coming with the readers 1, and I don't know if it will be good or not, that's the problem. She has been doing clicknkid online & is on lesson 43, but we haven't practiced a lot of reading. I have the whole HOP set, but she wasn't thrilled in the beginning. I was going to just add explode the code, but her writings not so great. THEN, my ds is going to be doing some MFW with dd but I need to go over phonics with him.
Sorry this is so long, I just feel like I'm about to be cut off:lol: Don't know if anyone can help me-probably not. I don't even know what I'm saying. I'm just rambling, can't seem to stop, help, stop typing!!!!!!
