Education

I just got back from the hospital. Ryan is doing great today. He is spunky and mischievous. I'll be surprised if the hospital can hold him much beyond tomorrow. I am so glad to see him so improved. And, Jenn, the illness's name is a guess my Mother made. She's pretty good at that, but I don't know that it's official. I couldn't spell it if it was.

We are done with the first week of school. Praise be!
Did I tell you that I am using a new approach this year? It's the alcoholics anonymous approach to homeschool. The A.A.A.
No, really!
It's like where Alcoholics don't give up drinking for the rest of their lives...they just don't drink Today.
So, I have applied this to my homeschool and it worked this week. I don't have to be strictly scheduled for the rest of my life...I just have to stick to my schedule today. I started to fall off the wagon when my alarm went off this morning, but I overcame my snooze button. Hail the conquering Hero.
Homeschool is the coolest thing ever. I wish I'd been able to do it as a kid. If I'd had a library card and a set of encyclopedias, I'd have been really smart. That would be my dream education, you know? Just to read all day and research my own questions.
My kids get that kind of education. We're very much learning together.
We've studied all kinds of fascinating things that they wouldn't really get in school... Latin and bible and Shakespeare and tons of history.
Plus, they can be exploited as free labor. These boys can cook and clean!
Now, I need to go take them to their hot-shot XMA class....
