When people brought me meals after having a baby. I invited them in and they look at or held the baby. We talked for about 30 mins max and then they left. Most people will understand that you are not up to having company and will just drop off the meal and go.

Yay! I have been looking at it for my son who is almost four. I may take the plundge and buy it in the next couple of weeks. When are you going to start ? I would love to know how you like it.

If you had a gift card for $100 what would you order? I am thinking about ordering Somebody game.

Praying for your sister and her baby! :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Mariann, You are a great mom. I think it is a lovely idea. I have suffered a miscarriage and a molar pregnancy. I wish sometimes people would acknowledge my two children I lost.

Bump!

Bill, Could you recommend a good solid math program. We are currently using Abeka Math. What do you think of Abeka math? Thanks so much!

Praying for your mother and your family! I am so sorry! :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

I wouldn't start school to Fall 2012 so Grayson will be 14 months old and shouldn't be nursing as much. My mom can take the kids to church, dance, and soccer she has a mini-van. One of the upsides is I have already had alot of the classes like the psych classes, English 111 and 112 and the electives so my course load will be alot lighter than normal. My 1st year homeschooling my 1st grader I finished up my Associates in Art ( college transfer) and I was taking 16 credit hours. I graduated May 2010. I am praying that this is the right thing for my family. I want to be a nurse. I love helping people and this would allow me to continue homeschooling. We need better health coverage and an income.

Any suggestions?

My mom recently moved back to NC. She retired from teaching. She is an excellent teacher and is really good with my children. She taught 2nd grade math and science for many years, then she went back to school and get her Masters in Art History. I have four children 7 1/2, 6, 3 1/2, and 8 weeks. My husband works and does IT work and is not home most nights until 7 or 8. We really need an additional income. He is a great husband and a hard worker I want to be able to continue homeschooling. I have my Associates in Art degree and I am thinking of going back to school to get my AASN (Registered Nurse). It is a two year program. My mom has offered to homeschool the kids while I go to school. I plan on working every weekend once I finish school. I am a compassionate person and I am good with people. I think this would be an excellent career choice for me. What would you do? This is my only option to make an income for my family and to continue homeschooling. I would take over homeschooling once I finished school. I will also be helping my mom with what I can while I am in school. Thanks you so much for taking the time to read this. Please pray for us as we are making the right decsions. One other factor in my decsion is my husbands company health insurance is horrible and we need better health insurance.

Pam, That is wonderful!

Felt in NC. I am about an hour from Raleigh NC.

Praying for you all! :grouphug:

Yay!!! :party:

We mom and daughter both wanted me to have another baby! I told them to slow down Grayson is only 5 weeks old. He is #4 so we shall see!

Praying you have a buyer for your house and you have easy sale and closing!

My experience is they get worse with each child you have. My afterbirth pains after #4 felt like contractions. They would take my breath away. My midwife gave me some Tums and I dont know why but the cramps hurt less with the Tums. I would use a heating pad and have lots of Tylenol on hand.

Merry, Thank you for the First Day of School document.

Mariann, Happy Birthday! I am glad you had a great day!

I just ordered. Thanks! :001_smile:

If you have your reciept you can return it within 7 days. I bought something just this week that I already had. I hope you can come.

I am making a trip to the Homeschool Gathering place in Raleigh on Saturday if anyone would like to get together. I would love to meet some of you!

Jean, That is wonderful! I might have to use your idea so I can get some much needed new clothes! :party:
