That is both the beauty and the bane of homeschooling . As homeschoolers , we're constantly reevaluating our schedules, our curriculum, our goals and our methods. Chances are good that what works one year or for one child may not work for the next. For that matter, what works today may not work tomorrow.

Pretty groovy, hu? (By the way, if you were wondering what that crazy baby's shirt says? "Don't be FOOLED by my SIZE". It's Old Navy. Ridiculously cute. Couldn't resist the bee!) I have been neglecting the Canon lately because the iPhone is attached to my palm as if by super-glue. It's rather handy as a camera, I have found.

I have no idea why it’s working now. It’s a “strain on servers due to a mysterious database issue.” Maybe the host company hates that Glenn Beck is my honey. Or maybe it’s computer code for “beats me … try rebooting.” That leaves me with two options: I can move or I can quit.

Brought to you straight from the nursing room at the Austin CHEACT Book Fair. I'm about to go in to hear Jessica Hulcy's son talk about how he's greatful to his parents for going that last mile to finish what they started. It is so easy to understand why homeschoolers give up when the kids get in high school! Not to mention why moms get burned out half way in to the journey of home education.
