Homeschooling has been an amazing thing for our family but it was a major decision. And it took us a while to get into a financial position where we could manage it. <br />Also, I think your family situation can be a blessing to your children and others. Families are made when people choose to love each other. The relationship I have with my older sister (same parents) and my younger (12yr.old) adopted sister is completely different but both are so important to me.BarefootBeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073837493384970457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826465069863298721.post-66319671423441582032011-04-19T22:01:10.463-04:002011-04-19T22:01:10.463-04:00Hey, you gotta warn me when pictures of my fat but...Hey, you gotta warn me when pictures of my fat butt are going to show up in your blog! That's me behind Jordan; thankfully she hides most of me.<br /><br />Anyway, I've been wondering about homeschooling too. We're in a totally different situation and I'd be doing it for different reasons than you, but maybe we can bounce ideas off each other sometime. I've done it for a little while in the past with I & D when they were tiny and with a 5th grader (long story).Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391693778175905203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4826465069863298721.post-10497849333418847022011-04-19T05:26:13.383-04:002011-04-19T05:26:13.383-04:00You know, I have said this to you before. Go back...You know, I have said this to you before. Go back to school and finish it. One day at a time. You are younger than me; you know that you can do it. You have the brains, and the willingness to do that. I know exactly how you feel about being able to support your family and working until your fingers go numb from working all the time. You are a very strong woman, stronger than me. You are very smart and if you just finish going to school, the financial situation would go away. I don't know how many times I had to say to my family that I had to work, or "go away I am working." I am so tired of school, but guess what Christina, May 21st 2011, I will receive my Masters!!!! ( Not Showing Off ) It’s that close, and one day not so long ago I thought that day would never come.You have a lot of credits in school. Maybe you can try to do what I did. We can go to Mason, and speak with the BIS (Bachelor of Individualized Studies) office and see what you can get for your all of ur credits and how many more you will need to graduate. I know that you are a great Teacher!!! Maybe God is speaking through me right now, why else would I be up at 4:34 in the morning on Spring Break!!!LOL I love you let's get together soon. I need to see you, and the kids...Specially Jo now that I have been hearing so much about. Is she speaking in Spanish like Elizabeth? See you are a better teacher than me you taught your daughter Spanish, and by the way you speak fluently. That in it's self is a big deal, cause you learned when you were an adult. How many people can say that. Listen, I will go with you to Mason and help you the whole way. I'm there for you. Just tell me when you are ready, I will make a few e-mails to find out when the next informational session is, or if they could give you a private one, to show you what they offer. I am working in Alexandria now. ACPS, I am working at MacArthur Elementary, maybe you can stop by, really anytime. By the way I love it there. God found me a nice place to work, and I am able to survive very nicely now and I am probably get a salary increase in Sept. That is just independence, and peace of mind. (Not Showing Off) You can take your kids to work with u, have the same time off as they do and get paid for sitting on your tukus all summer in a pool! This is better than not seeing them all the time, cause you are working. Right now I feel really good with what I am doing, and I am glad you have this blog so I have a way to stay connected with u. I really miss you and miss talking to you. If you can't come by my work, I can stop by on my way home one day and bring you a cup of coffee, and we could take a 5 Min. Break.Sylvia Copelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888082678510995116noreply@blogger.com
