AAAAAAAAUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Ok, I feel a little better now....ever have one of those daze?
God give me patience...i need patience & i need it NOW!!!
*Sigh* I know, i know, that's why He's given me my daughter, to teach me patience!
{Ok, among many other reasons...}

Hey, whoever's reading this, please pray for us to get this portfolio done on time, it's goin' as sloooooooooooow as molasses most DAZE!

And could somepne please explain why is it that everytime we, or even just Hannah, goes out for even part of the day, somehow the rest of the day very little is truly accomplished, as far as productivity with homeschooling goes?

We try to get stuff done when we're not getting ready, or first getting home...it's becoming very clear to me why the Bible says women are to be keepers at home...
...i can't understand how those who go out every single day for various things ever get ANY homeschooling done!

One of the things I love about HSing is not having to jump out of bed & rush out the door & go, go, go all day...but i know, for some, life's still like that! Mybe if i were younger, healthier, & had a car...Nah...even when I'm driving again, & get healthier, (& feeling younger, though i know there's no goin' back!) we'll still love to be home & have time to do the things we love to have time to do!

Oh, for the good ol' days of relaxed-ecclectic-almost-unschooling! Why, oh why did I agree to jump through these hoops....? Oh, yea, the $$$...*sigh*...

It has been a blessing to get some wonderful new books for her learning, ones she picked out & loves to read, & the digital camera & gymnastics lessons have been fun, but in retrospect, I can't honestly say that it's been worth all the things it's changed in our day-to-day lives....

...so much of the required 'learning' that must all somehow be documented is so redundant, so obviously busy-work, like they need to spoon-feed kids in school to keep them occupied all day {in between taking turns, waiting, lining up, & assemblies, etc.!}
{It's not like Hannah doesn't come up with a million things to do...
... if she just had more free time!!!}

I just found out that there were some changes the Govt. made recently that mean that, as long as she's doing the majority of her schoolwork elsewhere (as in at home) she can take whatever classes she wants at any school she wants...

...living so close to the Christian school, it's tempting to put her in a class or two there, {A math teacher other than ME would be nice!} to add some structure to our HS daze, but i definately need to pray for God's will...too many of my ideas end up being clearly my will, not His!

Well, tomorrow's another day. {Unless Jesus comes back tonight!}
