Our state has decided to force religion into the classroom (again). I have a 7 year old and am researching homeschooling curriculums, but most seem to be religious. It will most likely be a year or so before we pull them out of public school, but I want to be ready.
What curriculum has worked best for you?
I have been cycling through my "safe" books, the Graceling series, Tamora Pierce's Tortall Series, Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue...
But I want something new. Every time I pick something up, it just feels dull and grey. But that's what life feels like now.
I just want something colorful and new to help me get through this.
Any help would be appreciated!
I mean no disrespect, I am just really curious about what happens to those internal organs.
Her trauma guys!!! It excuses everything!
I went up to 7.5 last week! I expected side effects, so when I got diarrhea, I wasn't surprised. Then chills. It's a bit weird, but okay. And exhaustion, to the bone. I can deal, that's why I went up on the weekend and I could sleep.
​
Then I was achy all over. And spiked a fever.
​
Guys, I have a virus. I am sick. I do not know which are virus symptoms and which are side effects, which made my call to my doctor a bit muddy (although I called when my fever was 101 so it was always going to be muddy).
​
So, just take care of yourself out there!
I haven't had a puppy in over a decade. We lost our 13 year old pup almost 2 years ago. We are meeting a 8 week old puppy at our animal shelter tomorrow and I want to be sure I am asking the right questions when we go.
Before, I would have had 2 or 3. Plus a kolache. Today, only 1!!!! And I was full!
I haven't seen a 1 in front of my weight in over a decade! This really is a miracle!!!
This will be my 6th attempt over the past 5 years. I find a therapist, go to sessions once a week, and it feels like I'm paying to just vent about my life and not really fixing any problems in my life.
I have ADHD, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My life is a mess. I need actual help to cope with life and my mental state, not just a place to freely talk about my problems and get validation. I need tools, tricks, and things to do, not just empty chatter.
How do I get a therapist to provide that? And how long do I take to figure out if they will help? I usually have therapy for 3-6 months before I get tired of just talking all the time. Am I jumping ship too soon?
Just... karma.
We've been watching Project Runway together and they are really interested in designing clothes. I am hopeless with crafty things. I can (poorly) hand sew a hem in a pinch.
So, where do I start? Do they need a machine? Are there machines for 7 year olds? Is there a good beginners guide somewhere that doesn't assume you know anything?
I'm just lost and would appreciate any direction at all!
Could a dog be a governer? A cat be a senator? A 35 year old parrot the president?
I came across this YouTube video dissecting this Other Woman lifestyle coach. She charges women to learn how to get with married men. The video is hilarious, but I feel like I need a shower now.
I dont know if I'm explaining this well but a book that has things like
Monday - make roast chicken
Tuesday - using leftover roast chicken from Monday, shred meat and season to make quesadillas
Wednesday - using leftover seasoned meat from Tuesday to make chicken tortilla soup
Etc.
I hope the other spouse tells his wife. She deserves to know.
