New Beginnings

It has been a wild and crazy ride these last few weeks! Football season started and that is a 6-days a week commitment; we started homeschooling--it has had its ups and downs, mostly because of transitioning from a school setting to learning at home. My son is having to learn how to think for himself instead of having someone tell him how to do things; he's learning how to problem-solve; learning new skills; how to take instruction from his mom; etc.! It's a work in progress, but we both love the time together and freedom to learn things he couldn't in school (especially the fact that he gets to choose a lot of subjects to learn about and spend time exploring them!). We're both looking forward to the great experiences ahead as well as the new challenges.

Where did the summer go?

I can't believe it is near the end of the first week in August!! It has been very busy now that football season has started--my son practices 6 days a week, 2 hours a day; we have had equipment pick-up day; parent meeting; and we're trying to get ready for school starting next week; and then, of course, there's finishing up the editing on my latest book! No wonder I seem to have missed some time somewhere along the line! To top things off, I got a 2nd degree burn on my leg a couple of days ago from getting too close to the exhaust pipe of the truck as we unloaded my son's football gear! Better me than him! It actually made a kind of cool crescent moon shape on my leg-almost like a tattoo! Won't be doing that trick again! Well, I guess I better get back to work--the book won't finish itself and I'm anxious to get it done! I believe it will help a lot of people. At least that's my intention. Have a great summer's end everyone!
