Of the two FA statements we received, neither mentioned or referenced the SAI, so I am just trying to understand how it relates to everything.
I *think* I understand after reading this. I guess I didn't consider federal loans to be "financial aid" in the strictest sense.

Praying for you and yours. That's a lot to hold.

@Eos Nothing here either but based on our SAI, I don't expect to be offered anything but loans at our target school because of my kid's scholarships.
We did get an email from one college saying that if another college wants you to commit before you have the financial aid info, you should tell them to wait for you because "you are worth the wait"

White/off white or resistant to bleaching from acne meds
cotton or cotton/poly blend not brushed
Doesn't wrinkle like crazy
not so thin it gets snagged easily
not flannel or jersey
cheap (<$30 for set)
I spent part of yesterday looking and I honestly feel like this shouldn't be so hard
ETA; maybe Kohl's The Big One Twin XL? But they are OOS of the white

That's challenging, when they read everything in sight! I liked the book Honey for a Child's Heart when my kids were that age. It's a book of great book lists, curated for quality by someone more careful than I am.

I found my peeps with the parking thing. My husband doesn't quite get my depth perception problem. Now that we have a minivan I am constantly parking crooked. I scraped the van pulling out of a tight parking garage. Sigh.
I stink at any sport that involves hand-eye coordination. Not that I am an excellent runner. LOL. But I would rather jog 7 days a week than play volleyball, baseball, tennis, etc.
If you have me do a new exercise video I haven't done before, the first couple times it will be a comedy routine for anyone watching. Decades ago my friend and I tried Tae Bo and I laughed so hard at myself I was doubled over.
I'm not good at art. I could have a fantastic picture in my head, but what comes out on paper is around 3rd grade level.

We have a decision made here too. For financial reasons, we were down to U Cincinnati and Wright State. He has decided for Wright State. We have lots of reasons for this. Anyone can PM me. I have spoken of it in other threads.
He has a friend going there so we already have the roommate thing worked out. He has an advisor appt next week. He is coming in with a lot of college courses and CLEPs and since the school is small, we need to be very careful about scheduling.

I'm so grateful there was no mass identified.
I certainly hope it is not MS. Did they do the brain MRI with contrast? Were there any lesions?

Great -- except her registration is set for 4/27 --- first available option for the FA meeting is 4/29.
I'm trying to stay calm, but the uncertainty is rocking my world.Wow, I had no idea you could register that early at some places!! I don't think we will hear on FA for another few weeks at least. I hope that somehow this works out for you all. It has to be super stressful.

There is one school that sends us emails two or more times per week. We tried to find how to decline enrollment and we cannot find it anywhere. We seriously spent 10 minutes at least. Are we supposed to just send an email?
ETA: Maybe you are just supposed to do nothing?

would love an update when you are able. Praying he continues to recover.

Two friends of mine with daughters recently went through this (within the past two months). They are about nine years old. It is outpatient. After the surgery, they need meds every three hours (rotating Tylenol and Ibuprofen) and at about day 12 it starts to really turn and be much better. During those 12 days they needed to avoid dairy because that apparently interferes with healing. Needless to say, my friends were exhausted from getting up every three hours. They both had it done for the reason you describe--frequent strep.
I had mine out at age five but I was inpatient and I don't remember much at all. Apparently the older you are when you have it done, the worse and longer the recovery is.

@silver for lit really just reading books and discussing them. I use guides when I can find them to help with questions but there will be no output. I usually have some notes on hand from the discussions just in case, but not always. For some of the books we will listen to the literary life podcast episodes about the books.

@gstharr I am not sure why you posted that in this thread?
-
I didn't see one, so either I missed it (please advise!) or all of us have been too busy or too unsure to post anything. 😃
This is my youngest and I am holding this schedule loosely. I am not sure if he will go to a four year school or a two year school. At the moment he wants to study graphic design.
Lit: lit at home (light credit)
Comp: Comp I at the community college
Math: Precalculus at home (another light credit, followed by College Algebra CLEP). We really need to be done with math.
Science: we're done--he has four credits with labs so no science planned
Government (fall): home based government hopefully with CLEP at the end.
Economics (spring): possibly Thinkwell or we can use the Glencoe book I used for my oldest if we don't want to do CLEP
Electives: Design Principles and Design Foundations (fall) at the community college; spring schedule is largely TBD. I want to see how he handles two studios plus a comp class first. We may end up dropping a class if the workload is too much.
He works about 30 hours a week so no extracurriculars. Actually I hope I can get him to reduce his hours.

@Kassia thank you for contacting her. I have been meaning to post here to ask if anyone had heard anything. I have been praying regularly for her.

Now I’m curious- what was the essay prompt?
It was just super generic and boring and long (lots of words). There are only so many ways you can say I think I would like to be in honors.

We're still waiting to hear on honors scholarships from one college. His friend just heard yesterday. So today I asked if he had seen anything yet, and he (sarcastically) joked that the process was being held up by them passing around his essay and talking about how good it is. 🤣🤣(If you saw the essay prompt, you would understand just how much sarcasm was in this comment. This essay prompt was the worst.)
How is everyone else doing??

What about one of those stream table/canal lock systems?
I'm amazed you can make these things!

Do you have used curriculum sales local to you? I would try to sell it as a set.
There is one, but it is VERY poorly attended.
I think my best bet is going to be the local homeschool forum and/or facebook in hopes that a co-op needs supplies. I feel like most people don't do the level of chemistry we did at home anymore.

if the site I linked doesn't work, try "your location" AND "beekeeping" on Google.

If they really are bees, a local beekeeper should be able to help you relocate them. Maybe try someone from this site? https://www.beeculture.com/find-local-beekeeper/
