I have dreams of a new dishwasher.

I would love to talk to my mother. She is so quiet on her growing up years.

Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

I dream of having a library room one day! One day!

1st - Take a deep breath and relax. It can be so overwhelming. We went from local psyc. testing to neurology then Mayo Clinic and now referred to the University of Minnesota. I was scared at first but I know that it won't change things but just help with how we approach things with our son. Get a notebook and write down anything you can think of. Diagnosis, treatments, behaviors, therapy, support groups, educational materials, etc. I wish you the best.

I pulled my son out and started homeschooling him in 8th grade. He is a special needs student that sounds like much of your friends son. Anyways, the first year was our practice year. We tried all kinds of curriculum and spent a lot of money on wasted stuff too. Once we found his learning style its great. We tried Lifepacs, Sonlight, SOS, Saxon, etc. I wanted to pull my hair out. I wish you the best of luck with this. I wouldn't expect too much the first year as most of it will be unlearning the rote public school learning experience. Kelly

I just went to Jo-Ann's website and signed up for the educator card. I'm so happy to find this.

I don't know if being allergic to chocolate would be a gift or a curse?

Does anyone have a list of places (major retailers) that offer home educator discounts to homeschoolers? Thank you. Kelly

Thank you. I will have to do that.

Someone told me one time that there were cell phone apps that would pull up th coupons for you and the checkout would just enter a number. Does this make any sense and has anyone seen this?

My mom bought a Dyson for right under $200 on Black Friday. It seems great. I'm so jealous. I have a Kenmore and its heavy.

What kind of ID for homeschooling do you have? I didn't even know Michaels had an educator discount.

This is the first I've even heard of using 2. I always use 1.

I am always joking with the kids at our house. The other day I as making chip dip using Mexican Velveta cheese. It has green chilies in it. I was cutting it up and started yelling to my 14 yr old son. Oh look the cheese is moldy. Thats so gross. Then I said well I just feed it to your baby siblings and I turned gave each little one a piece as my 14 yr old was staring in horror. He started to yell don't give that to them. I finally had to tell him it was okay.
