Thank you ladies. Today she was *over it* already. I made her sit down and list out all the things she liked about public school and all of the things she didn't like. Her cons were LONG and on her pros? TWO things. Friends & recess. lol

She sees friends ALL WEEKEND every weekend, and all. This all came about after she saw the jr. high volley ball team running. She loved VB and wants to be involved in school sports. We are also part of a HS group, co-op classes, and church. Gosh, I am just shocked. Maybe this is a passing phase?

That is what we are battling right now. We understand her desire to be back with her peers, but we don't like the lack of morality in school. HELP? Please?

Is there any workbook type program to work through with your daughter? A curriculum of sorts? Anything for fathers and daughters? Any advice on how to go about training them and leading them to make this commitment for themselves?

Need names that go with "Lloyd" as a middle name. Thank you :D

We are going to the water park on the first day of public school. YAY!

AS long as Mom is prepared, yup. Without a second thought.

I agree with you. I have noticed that too.

Okay...so, I skinned a CLOVE a chopped up half of it and sautéed it with potatoes, onions, and sausage. I think I could have used the whole clove, I was just afraid I would overdo it. I like the flavor much better than the powdered. Now, what ways do I NOT prepare it? This morning I just chopped it and threw it into the skillet. It was good.

I feel silly

Funny thing is, we love garlic too. I just usually buy it in the produce section already chopped and in oil or dry powdered. I have been intimidated by the whole bulb. :D

We joined an organic food co-op and I got two bulbs of fresh garlic with my shipment today. Admittedly, I have never used garlic in this form. What can I do to preserve it or use it? I have no clue what to do with it. My DH has been known to roast some on the grill, but this is just so much. I am afraid it will ruin before I get it used. TIA

I'm all about this great state going Republic again...LOL Love it here. It certainly is like no other.

I have NOT seen it yet, but have a personal standard that I HAVE to watch any movie Channing Tatum is in, so I will be going this week. Might take my kids, might not. I have not decided yet.

Thank you so much for this post! We will be counting her spanish and latin toward high school credit already. I see what I need to do now, like you said just "let go" of grade level and do what she is capable of doing, and give her the credit for what she does. Now, to research building a transcript. :D
