Musings of a Libertarian HomeSchooler

Progress NOT Perfection!
Don't Allow a Temporary Situation Evolve into A Permanent Designation!

Alright I know that I have been a bad blogger. 🙂 I Have been so busy with my two little boys growing up so fast, time really got away from me. There has been so much going on it is crazy.

 My youngest turned two in December before Christmas that was a big deal in and of itself. I have gotten heavy into bitcoin (cyrpto-currencies) in general. Fell deep down the rabbit hole of research on the topic and ended up starting an online news paper, The CryptoCoin Digest and an online bitcoin store on Bitdazzle.

A friend of my cousin sent me a large box of clothes since I realized that I had been so caught up in my children I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT MYSELF. Since I had been researching bitcoin, I started selling the clothes that didn’t fit for bitcoins. I used those bitcoins to do a bit of day trading. I made A lovely a amount of money. LOL enough to buy my 5 year old a bike for his birthday. I learned a lot about the crypto-currency and how to make money literally from nothing and LEGALLY.

 My health had gone down hill as I am still nursing my now 2 and a 1/2 year old and my hormones are so far out of wack my thyroid has failed and I actually have a goitter now. Pile on the stress of the fact that my doctor is an idiot; he can tell me that I have normal test results but the fact that I have literal inflammation of the actual organ is NO INDICATOR of a problem, left me floored. I was so angry, the idiot prescribed an anti-depressant of which I can’t take. WHY? Because I am breastfeeding!!!! So I know he never listens to a word I have to say while explaining anything about how I am feeling or why I am visiting. I made and appointment to see a specialist this coming Wednesday. I finally remembered. When you have HYPOTHYROIDISM your thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones or you are not converting them properly in order to have a clear efficient anything basically. 😛 I was depressed for a long time with little to no motivation at all. I almost believed I needed those stupid pills.

Then I woke up and my throat was hurting and I couldn’t speak. My thyroid and swollen to that point. I did extensive research on that topic found a specialist but was out of state. I didn’t have a car then. That was motivation to work harder to get the money to get a car. I bought a van on Father’s day. 😛 I am a single mother so why not get a gift for myself.

My oldest son turned 5 in May, that is school age, time to get serious about should I send him to a brick and mortar school or continue home schooling, what about online schools so that it is easier for me to find like minded parents because the traditional Home school co-ops are slim to none in my area. Everyone I tell in my neighborhood is so taken aback they always immediately talk about socialization. HELLO MY KID JUST SPENT THE NIGHT AT YOUR HOUSE!!!!! They socialize plenty. My son has more friends then I do. 🙂  The research into schools took another few months and now we are here. 

I have narrowed it down to OHDELA, ECOT, OHVA, and Mosaica online schools. I will be talking about them in the blogs to come. I have also found wonderful resources of free online materials and traditional home school curriculum I plan to use as well. You can never teach a child too much. 🙂 I was planning on staying off the grid and not ENROLLING my child anywhere, but upon further reflection of my abilities and skills in the arts, I came to the conclusion that I would not be able to fulfil my oldest son’s love of the arts. I am more geared towards athletics and construction type of hands on activities, not painting or building sets for theatre productions.
