41 years ago I said "Yes" to Jesus. 25 years ago I said "Yes" to my husband. 20 years ago I said "Yes" to stay-at-home mommyhood. 17 years ago I said "Yes" to homeschooling. 8 years ago I said "Yes" to adoption. Enjoying "one day more" of this amazing journey I'm on with my Heavenly Father! "Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store!"
oh Cyndi, I am laughing so hard. laughing, and wincing..it's kind of true in some ways, or at least many days it starts looking true if we don't stop and make some extra effort. I do bring out the gold star stickers for my youngest (funny how they love that!) but I am seriously thinking of throwing my abeka phonics out the window..I just can't do it for the third time, it is so much effort. Anyone know of a simple, no bells and whistles phonics program??
We had great success with Phonics Pathways (SO simple to use) along with BOB books. Jessie Wise has that new book, Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading that I'd take a look at if I had to do it again. (I can't imagine it being too bell or whistle laden.)
You know, they say stop using a certain curriculum if it makes your child cry... what if it makes the mom cry? LOL

I just found your blog this morning. I love it! I especially am enjoying your comics and your posts about "lies." Thanks for sharing!

My oldest (10) and I laughed at this one! I told him to promise me that he would not let me be this way when our baby is his age!!
I am enjoying your blog! I just discovered it and stayed up late last night reading a lot of the archives :).
