dyk Sean started asking me 20 questions about round 2 of house hunting -


dyk my parents are buying a forclusure or low prices fixer upper, we're all together renovating it, then it will be sold to us -


dyk part of the profit of that sale will go to paying off my student loans


dyk I told him I am not taking on ONE MORE SINGLE THING


dyk house is HIS area


dyk he didn't take kindly to that at first but I am MAXED OUT


dyk I find being in charge of Abi's education a lot of pressure - especially just starting out, not to mention managing Deklan as he is still in a funky phase of turning 4, and we'll have a new baby in a matter of week - 10 or so.

DYK Yeah, thank goodness Maegan never went thru the 'I'm gonna marry him' stage either?

DYK There was just 'intense like'?

DYK And they hardly ever did anything at school without the other?

DYK I'll have to find the pre-k graduation pictures of Maegan and Jake?

DYK Just so stinkin' cute?

DYK Wow, that's a lot of money?

DYK Princess (our rottie), had heartworms and went thru the treatment?

DYK As best we can remember, her treatment cost well over $500 at the time, and that was in the early 90's?

DYK At least the treatments these days are not as rough on the dogs as they used to be?

DYK We learned our lesson...every dog since then has been on heartworm preventative, faithfully?

DYK It is costly as well, but much better than dealing with the disease/treatment?

DYK I do not envy you taking on the home-schooling, Jennie?

DYK Especially with Deklan at home as well and another baby on the way?

DYK I agree, you have your hands full?

DYK When I think about the possibility of home-schooling Maegan, with no other children/distractions in the house, I still almost break out in hives?

DYK I am really hoping Maegan can get her act together so I don't have to make good on my threat to home-school her?

dyk yep, we can't even do the heartwork prevention treatment b/c it can be dangerous for a dog with heartworms


dyk we got Shiloh when she was less than 6 mos old and in the first 3 months once she was over her intial "trauma" of the move, we took her in and she already tested positive for heartworm


;-(

dyk Deklan quickly learned and has been abiding by the homeschool rules when we are doing work


dyk he actually does play well independently and he has found out that he is really good and enjoys puzzles


dyk so that has been nice


dyk and homeschooling (even just this first week - but so far Abi has now been home almost a full month since xmas break) is such a tremendous improvement for our entire family over her being IN school that it is worth it


dyk for some reason being in charge of teachng her to READ is my biggest pressure - I have no qualms about teaching math, science, etc

dyk I also know that homeschooling is a temporary situation - at least doing it full time


dyk we do plan on Abi being in the montessori school for if not 1st grade, then 2nd (depends on the situation when the school releases the new schedule/classes/tuition etc)


dyk and as far as the baby, I am a baby wearer... lol so for me having little tiny babies isn't too tough b/c I just wear them and they go where I go and do what I do haha

dyk we are FINALLY going to our new adult small group tonight


dyk I got so excited I decided to "do" my hair and I brushed/blow dried it out and am going to put it on my fat rollers


dyk sounds like a lot of work but really, it only took me about 3 minutes to brush and dry it and it'll take me another 5 minutes to put it on the rollers, lol


dyk then I just run my fingers through it when the rollers cool and I am done


dyk looks like we'll NOT be getting to the grocery store today so I'll go with all 3 kids tomorrow morning.. pray for me! haha
