Well, most answers are in my siggy, but I'll still list:

 

1. Cindie (nickname ~ real name Cynthia, but I didn't know this until I went to school and the teacher kept calling "Cynthia, Cynthia, Cynthia....." until she finally looked at me intently. I realized she was talking to me. :lol:)

My girls are named specifically so they wouldn't be shortened easily. The names below are pet names from when they were babies.

 

2. I have two girls (6.5 and almost 4) and would have loved more, but we struggled getting pregnant and lost two. I am happy with the ones we have and am very, very grateful for them.

He just told me this week that he loves math and he is reading....finally. All of this happened without medication and special ed classes. All that was required was teaching him in a way that fit his learning style and dedication. It has really started to pay off. I'll get off my soapbox now. :001_smile:

It was then that we found all the ps gaps and now I would never send my kids back there!

 

9. What country would you want to visit, or have you? France - I love speaking French and I would really enjoy getting to use it in France!

Alright then. I thought of this one while I was in the shower.

 

10. If you could go on a research trip to anywhere (fully funded, of course, and not necessarily something that would sell well) what book would you be writing?

 

I'd be on a research trip to Poland collecting in situ examples of heraldry from pre-1600. That is a photo book I would like to have on my shelf. Naturally I would have the fantastic luck to find examples of all the herby.

8. Why did you decide to homeschool? Our local ps refused to follow IDEA. When they had my oldest charged for 'a manifestation of his disability' (juv probation's words - not mine) and accused me of medical neglect to DSS (my kids are autistic and have more Dr's than my 86 yr old grandma) my husband agreed to pull them out. We fell in love with homeschooling and have no plans to change their status. Finding out that our oldest had dyslexia - despite the ps's insistence his reading difficulties were due to his autism - sorta ended any ideas of sending them back. I am not anti ps - just wouldn't use my local.

I really freaked a church friend out when I told her I fixed our car's headlight and radio while 9 months pregnant with #2. :confused: I wear my long hair in a bun but have always hated wearing skirts. As I used to complain to my mom, you can't run as fast in them.

 

5. What's your favorite season? There's something nice about them all, but the best one I remember was fall of '98. The sky was so blue that the colors of the leaves (back in Ohio, it was) were gorgeous in contrast and we seemed to go for weeks before a storm took them out of the trees.

 

6. Favorite subject to teach: I love history before the Industrial Revolution, Science, Reading, Art, Math - it's a privilege to be able to teach!

 

7. What's your HS approach in a nutshell? WTM

 

8. Why did you decide to homeschool? I can give different answers to this one, but the defining moment was when my oldest dd was two years old, did something remarkable (can't remember it now, though!), and I thought, "Wow! She's just like a jewel in the rough. She needs someone to cut her facets and polish her up. A 'one size fits all' approach won't let her sparkle the way God intended. Surely I can do better myself." I've always loved to "do it myself!"

 

9. What country would you want to visit, or have you? I've been a few places, but I'd love to visit Ireland, Egypt, and the city of Petra.

Heidi, did you announce your pregnancy on this board in the usual fashion??? If so, I missed it. Not too late to say "Congrats", eh?

 

 

:001_smile: Not officially. Thanks for the congrats!!
