Mom Notes - I have decided to update my skills and relearn some of the things I have forgotten since taking College Algebra. I took the pretest and discovered that I needed to go back and fix some gaps in my math memory. I feel that this will help inspire my kids to never stop learning, or relearning, for the rest of their lives.
O.K. let me first set the stage of this comment post. A woman sits at her computer, and as she types she sighs outloud, "humph!" As she types she thinks in a whiny voice "when are you coming back home?" Then rational and somewhat less selfishly she chides to herself "they are happy", but the more childish imp adds "but what about me!" Just thought you should know you are missed! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe miss you guys too! I hope everything is going well. I'm just a phone call or an email away!
ReplyDeleteHi Celeste! You are staying busy as ever! I am still in the deciding stages to home school next year. I know I need to make my decision quickly because I am running out of summer! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Molly - I did not know you were thinking about homeschooling. You always have time - so don't rush the decision until you have prayed about it and feel confident in what the Lord wants you to do. You would be a great homeschooling mom!
