So, yesterday I began a new website for our family. I can barely keep up with this so why start a website? Well, Tabitha needs two computer courses in order to graduate and we decided web design would be one of them. We are starting out with Google Sites. From there we will move on to something more complicated, I hope.
Today I decided to do a little bit of clothes shopping. For those of you who don't know, I would rather run bamboo stakes under my nails. I actually found somethings that I liked and that fit!! I may even go again this week.
A little suggestion for anyone wanting to see a great movie. Go see "Blindside". Jeff and I went last week and loved it. I love football and it was a bit of a chick flick, so it was great!
That's all for today, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

school
Well, I think we've finally decided that we've had enough of home schooling. Tab will be a senior this year and wants to go. Elijah will be in 2nd and I think I need him to go. When I started this 8 years ago, I envisioned a much greater level of learning than we have achieved. Tabitha was in the gifted class, Elijah wasn't even thought of. The first year went quite well. It was just Tabitha and me. We went on field trips, studied many subject. We had bulletin boards and a great classroom that Jeff had remodeled for us. Then a great surprise! He came in October, in the second year of homeschooling. Nothing has been the same since. As a baby he never slept. He took 20 minute power naps around the clock. He cried if you didn't hold him and he always wanted to eat. UGH! I kept thinking that when he was older it would change. Well, 6.5 years later it really hasn't, except that now I'm trying to teach him too.
Both of my children are incredibly smart. Not just saying that either. Like I said, she was in the gifted program in public school. Elijah can read at least at a 6th grade level, probably higher. He can do some simple multiplication. He's in first grade. I think we have all just grown tired of it. We all need some time away from one another, Tabitha needs more prodding and Elijah needs to learn to mind other adults. So I think it's time to try something new.
