There has been some question...

There has been some question about the welfare of my son because he wrote "HELP ME!" in the driveway. He is fine. He wrote it as a joke.
Sometimes you have to have a sense of humor when evaluating my life. I wipe butts for a living and my husband supports our family killing bugs. We don't live our life being completely serious. We don't see the point. Yesterday Anthony wrote a dialogue about 2 ducks talking. One was a crossdresser. And yes I explained about what a crossdresser is.
Let me explain to you why I homeschool.
Last week, there was a story in the news about a MIDDLE SCHOOL in Maine that is handing out BIRTHCONTROL PILLS to middle school children WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS CONSENT. Anyone remember the news stories about children bringing guns to school? I remember when I was pregnant, there were middle schoolers pregnant at that time. That was 10 years ago. We don't like the standards set by society today. We are sometime very far in the right wing. We are trying to teach our children different. We study the bible everyday. We adjust our learning to Anthony's ability. It works for us.
Personally, I've been changing lately. I want to be a housewife. I want to do things traditionally. I clean my floors with vinegar to reduce the chemicals I use. If I could find washing sodas, I'd make homemade laundry soap. Our house isn't like most others and quite frankly we like it that way. If you visit us, my husband may witness about Jesus to you. Eventually, I'd like to travel the world and do missionary work. We definitely will adopt again. Maybe more than once.
So please have a sense of humor about what is written on my blogs. I am with my children alot of the time, somedays 24/7. When I'm not here, Patrick is. We know our children.

Soccer Games

We had 2 soccer games this week. Monday we tied 1-1. Today we lost, 4-0. It hasn't been such a bad season though. The kids are having fun. Thats what matters. Blogger isn't letting me load these pictures. I'll try tomorrow.

Mom Again

We are trucking right along with home schooling. We are going on a field trip October 26th to the NC Zoo. Anthony will also be taking some classes at the local science center. Patrick has been a "substitute" teacher for a couple days because I had some of my own education to do for one of the hospitals that I work at. English is still a struggle. I guess one day the light will just come on and he'll understand more of it. Until then, we will keep going over the information together.
We are in Mexico this week and move on to Canada next week.
I have a picture to post of the the book we are reading. I had Anthony draw a picture to illustrate what he thought the scene looked like. I'll also add some pictures from a soccer game.
Anthony will post soon. I promise.
