The above link goes to a story about a woman that says she needs more taxpayer money to eat healthy and loose weight. I do get food stamps and WIC and I eat healthy. So I am going to write about how anyone else can do the same without any BS excuses. I also have a thyroid condition and very little doctor assistance with that and my abdomen muscles have separated and I plan to repair that so that I can get this little bit of weigh back off. Once I get it all together I will start. OH AND of course I will have to sprinkle in my kids diets and our routine. I homeschool so this will be vary interesting. i will pair with a jvideo blog as well

Ha!! The lady that works in the meat department, at the grocery store, told me that yesterday when I told her I was home schooling my kids all the way through, grace willing. This comment came of course after Nathan and Tony ran in a circle chasing each other singing, laughing, and yelling as I looked over some steaks. Yeah, I told them to stop but hey sometimes you have to just let them go a bit to get out of the store faster. They had not taken a nap because we had a doctors appointment. (it was at 1pm I thought it was at 2, go figure) Since we walked to the doctor; Nathan road is bike, another reason to try to get out of the store quickly, (no bike lock) I said I would stop at the store to get them a lunch-able. Of course being that I don’t have a car anymore to do the large monthly haul I have to do weekly meal pick ups, so I got a jump on net week.

I digress. Back to the point. I am so ready to let my kids go. I let them go everyday, I am an advocate for independent child rearing, no matter how young, of course I do what i am supposed to do they can’t do everything for themselves at ages 5 and 2 but they can pick out some clothes and dress themselves and we can discuss what we will be eating for meals. I want to let them go. I want to see them thrive, but I am not putting them in the school system in its current state. I care to much for my children to do that to them.Education is too important. I am, as I guess they would say old school in my approach. I want my children to be better than me not worse off. I am surrounded by parents that don’t seem to think that an education is important. NO STRIKE THAT they want to educate their children on the ins and outs of getting over on the system and living on welfare the rest of their lives. They have no desire to instil a solid work ethic. Now if you knew that kids like that attended the school your child would attend and the teachers are unhappy and unqualified to deal with this type of child, one who is rasied to have no respect for other adults, would you sacrifice your little bit of “me time” for the sake of your child’s well being in the future?

As and entrepreneur, I have the best possible home school environment to foster a strong work ethic in my children. They see first hand how I handle stress, delegate duties, run my business, manage a budget, and sadly the harsh reality that you can’t trust everyone and everyone is not your friend.

singing. lol the kids toy vaccum just came on I can only imagine the cats scared running out the door onto the balcony. anyway. I was singing. “today was the first day of school, today was the first day of school. we tried to log in after breakfast, we completed 5 math lessons. today was the first day of school. we have become acquainted with the flow, now easy breezy school days are to come, and tomorrow is the second day of school.” I love that I chose to go with OHDELA. some people have there opinions and they are in fact warranted. BUT I am a Calvert-OHDELA homeschool mother. That is right OHDELA offers Calvert Curriculum alternative 100% FREE. I have the same flexibility as if I homeschooled on my own but I gain access to a whole lot of free stuff. All I have to sacrifice is logging hours the way they ask. Which isn’t too bad because as a homeschooling parent YOU HAVE TO LOG WHAT YOUR CHILD DOES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET CREDIT if you want them to go to a brick and mortar high school or college.

I can’t help but love the financial assistance they provide. being a single mother and a business owner of a fledgling business. EVERY PENNY COUNTS.

on a side note did i mention that my 2 year old threw my boy cat off the balcony. crazy living on the third floor, the cat was not harmed. scared to death when you hold him next to the balcony but otherwise fine.

This is excellent I wish that the link had not been removed for embeding. but this is a must see tribute to Michael Jackson and the need for change. I have grown so much in my solitude and i am prepared to make some very large changes. A few years ago I answered the calling to become and ordained priestess. and I prepared to see past my anger in my dealings with the people in my neighborhood. no matter how i felt previously I have to say these people NEED Help and If i cant reach the adults i will reach the children.

I want to do an online program. I want to do cotillions and all kinds of things to help bring respect and integrity back to this generation.
