It's Official!

We have just finished registration for our "homeschooling" program, Connections Academy, and we have received our "thumbs up" from the school as well.

The kids are so excited, they are ready to get started "right now". Though we need the summertime to buy desks and chairs and supplies for our study areas.

My mother has her concerns but she seems to be totally on board with the idea. That's a relief. I guess we never get so old that we outgrow the desire to have our mommy's approval.

I've received invitations for seminars for the school and I'm really hoping to get off of work so that we can attend one.

Pre-registration begins

Well I've pre-registered for our "homeschooling" program, though I still have a lot of paperwork to turn in, I'll be doing most of that tomorrow. We're winding up this year and already I can't wait to get started on this program.

I informed the attorney I work for about our plans. Sort of informed her accidently though. She was surprised but supportive.

Yesterday I was dropping my son off at his middle school and there in front were five elderly men protesting abortion.

Whatever your position is on this topic, and whatever my position, I totally had a problem with this protest.

Two of the men had large 4 foot by 4 foot posters, in color. The first was of an aborted baby with the guts torn apart, and the second was of an aborted baby torn to pieces. It was horrible. And more, these men were displaying these photos at the entrance to the drive thru of the school. I suppose even if they had been at the exit of the drive thru, AFTER the children were dropped off, I would still have the same issue.

I approached one of the men and said, "my son attends school here and I don't want him seeing these horrible pictures." He turned to me and said, "talk to him about it."

Well, how about I talk to him about it when I feel the time is right - not you!
