Ok, so now that I have caused all of the sweet, loving wellwishers to leave the room in a huff, those of us who enjoy a little angst with our coffee (and it must be coffee. None of this week tea stuff. You simply cannot enjoy angst with tea. Although, I might make an exception for Chai, since it's just kind of cool. And Darjeeling. Mostly just because I like to say it. Darjeeling. Dar jeeeeee ling.) can continue our conversation in peace. Where were we?
Oh yes, school. After further thought I have decided to look upon this coming school year as a sort of scientific study. Therefor, I shall henceforth refer to it as The Experiment. (I know, not terribly creative. Feel free to give me suggestions.)
My thinking is this: How many mothers get to simultaneously observe two children in the same grade, one in the public school system, one getting a classical homeschool education? Usually the homeschoolers ardently defend homeschooling as the best route, while the public schoolers just as ardently defend their side, while keeping their children firmly ensconced in one or the other. I will have the singularly rare ability to really compare the two side by side. It should prove rather interesting, actually.
Anyway, that is probably a better strategy for the year than simply hiding in my closet weaping uncontrollably about how terribly messed up they both will be. Certainly preferable for my husband, anyway.

ok, miss sarcasm. I can dish it with the rest of you. However, you have not caused me to run away. I will continue to read what you have to say, agree or disagree. I too am interested in "The Experiment" and will be interested to see how each boy benefits and/or whatever the opposite of benefits is (my brain has temporarily frozen on me. at least, I hope it is temporary!)Anyway, I WOULD LOVE to see a picture now and again though, just for posteritys sake!(remember, I can not spell, although you spelled weak wrong in your post! Ha! I got you one time!)
I must agree with dear Beck on that one, youngest sister of mine. Where are the children?? Where's the pregnant belly?? Where's the little mutt??
I am sitting here with my second glass of wine and wondering who are these wierd people. They must take after their fathers side of the family..or were switched at birth as some sort of alien conspiracy!!! Love,mom
Ok, I love this, even if just for laugh! WE ARE ALL NUTS I THINK!!!!
Mom, can I have some wine, please??? (we just ran out yesterday!)
Congratulations Becky! By uncovering today's hidden mis-spelled word, you have won today's prize. Oh, what, you mean you thought that was an accident? You must know me better than that...
