E says he doesn’t ever want to go to school. In his opinion, this means he will not have to learn anything, ever. He is absolutely addicted to math videos from the library. Every time we go, he must check the shelves for new math videos. He’s four, so that’s cool. Maybe when he’s five I’ll let him know how much he’s learning…or maybe I’ll wait until he’s six and has moved on to Teaching Company stuff. Read the rest of this entry »

I think I pretty much left my “four times a week” blog posting goal in its death throes several weeks ago. When I checked in today I noticed a little bit of life around its blue tinged blog lips, so I will march on and hope for better consistency in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

Today was awesome…another one for the record books, in my humble opinion. N faced a big source of fear and anxiety, E schooled us on lifestyle choices and I was only 25 minutes late to both homeschool groups today! Yeah! Also worthy of note: I didn’t wet my pants in traffic on the way to Evanston. That’s good for at least a silver star on the calendar, yes? Read the rest of this entry »

We’re trying to get our stuff together to visit family for Easter. I’d like to be out of here in the next hour or so, and it looks like we may *just* reach that goal. N and I are very relaxed today and just taking the day as it comes. In his case, the day comes with a hefty dose of Sonic Chronicles on DS. Read the rest of this entry »
