Well, I actually wrote a blog yesterday but it never showed up here. Curiouser and curiouser....

Toby is sick. Poor little guy. He has a little fever and a runny nose. I thought it was just teething but I woke up with a sore throat today... sheesh.
Did I write that we have decided to homeschool R2? I'm excited and nervous about it... it is going to be a lot of work, but he'll love it.
There's a big homeschool convention in August.... that's where we'll get a lot of ideas.

But my throat hurts and there's nothing to eat. Somebody call the waa-mbulance.

kat, have you heard of the new coop hoomeschool group, MASH.
they are your area and they have met at McDade for gettogethers.

jess, R2 will excel in homeschool. what areas will you start?

the woodlands cwmp homeschool conference is 1st week in August & CACHE (Conroe group) meets Aug 1st. I can send ya email if u want.

yes, my pic is a sheep doin hurdles

jess said...

The one I went to a few years ago (with Steph) is the THSC... it will be August 19-20 at the Woodlands Marriott...

yeah, send me email

jess said...

Question for those who know:
I am looking at who do I need to sign up with
I already signed up for HSLDA (the legal defense guys) because it seems very helpful, also it's risky hs-ing a special needs kid... we will probably get questioned... so that was a good one for us. But pricey. Luckily there is a payment plan.

So should I actually be a paid member of CACHE? worth it?
What is this MASH? What about THSC??
Beth- do you know anything about the special needs homeschool guys... NATTHAN?

I am homeschooling 2 this year. Chris is in Kindergarten. Chris wants friends, but I could not get him into AR Turner where Gabriela went. I have thought about joining a Co-op but don't know which one is the best or how to get involved.

Jess,

Did you see where I posted to start date and time of the mom's group?

It will be August 7 at 10:00 am. Childcare is provided.

Feel free to invite anyone you want and if you have any questions, please e-mail me at mommy-3@cox.net

I'm gunna email the homeschool info I have...

We receive three educations, one from our parents, one from our schoolmasters, and one from the world. The third contradicts all that the first two teach us.

My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.

BethC said...

kat and jess, I sent hs info stuff...pass it on

refiner's fire of heaven

BethC said...

jess, on imageshack.us
is there something special I do to follow this info on their page?...

"Please use clickable thumbnail codes (they save ImageShack's bandwidth)"

jess said...

I think that's just requesting that people use the smaller files if they can... but I don't see a direct link to a thumbnail, and they usually put a black bar on the bottom of your image. So I would just use the one near the bottom that says direct link

jess said...

we have a lunch appointment.... you gotta be quick to catch us

BethC said...

bring your chicken for an after-church social

BethC said...

gotta go now
see ya next time

BethC said...

happy friday and great weekend recovery/rest/relaxation time!

Josh said...

I had a legal class on employment law all morning, so just getting on. I’d like more conversation on home schooling on the blog, we are seriously thinking of home schooling and have some friends who may be interested in a co op. I just looked at HSLDA’s website a couple weeks ago and we’re starting to learn the requirements and get info.

Josh said...

need to hear from those doing it or have done it... mommy-3, harvy, kat.

What curriculum are you using? Etc.???????

jess said...

big police chase in pearland right now

jess said...

why are police chases so interesting? especially when you kow the roads

jess said...

I don't know if I'll use a curriculum this year... there's a group called Texas Special Kids (special needs) that does free consultations... I'll be talking to them

jess said...

man, he's only going 70... if I was in a po po chase I'd go 90 at least... still too fast for them to get roadblocks up, tho

Josh said...

bad boys, bad boys... whatcha gonna do when they come for you.. bad boys, bad boys.

jess said...

he robbed a cleaners... man. is the chase worth it?

Josh said...

if those were my work clothes, yes!

jess said...

he ran over spikes... front tire is flat

jess said...

he must be FREAKING out... the tire is on the rim

jess said...

he hit a truck... still going.
both tires front flat

Josh said...

Yikers....

jess said...

drove into a gully.... where is he?

jess said...

this is so cool

Josh said...

they prob should've let him go.

jess said...

truck in the water... waiting to see officers

Josh said...

BANG BANG...

jess said...

there are cops on the edge of the freeway... they are being super careful... think he's armed

jess said...

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/

Josh said...

where did the spikes come from? the cops put them out?

jess said...

yeah... he swerved but still got nicked

jess said...

there's an officer crawling on his stomach into the gully... now he's backing up

jess said...

Do you think you guys want to homeschool Keith?

Josh said...

very much leaning to it

Josh said...

almost for sure.


what do you think about Toby?

jess said...

I wanted to, then I didn't want to.... now I kinda want to... and it's the best for R2

jess said...

Toby for sure... it's just the special needs that intimidate me with R2

jess said...

SWAT's there now, so the TV guys have to back up

jess said...

MAN! I am nervous with all these tv cameras showing where the cops are... what if has someone on cell phone?

Josh said...

yeah, it would be harder to do R2, but it will probably be good for him.

BethC said...

as r2's parents, you both know his interests, strengths, weak areas and his personality.
does he need routine or more spontaneous? or a combo...
how's his interest in naming objects, people, feelings...he likes art? assembly? building? of course music and pt...

jess said...

oh, the guy is a suspect in several armed robberies...

Josh said...

Good, those people can finally get their limbs back.

Viking Granny!!!! said...

He has a GUN!

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Dangerous, Cleaning lady at the laundry mat saw a GUN

Josh said...

I just talked to a guy in Arizona, where the temperature is 115!

jess said...

80 in my room

jess said...

The guy surrendered peacefully

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Is it still not OK to give babies HONEY?

That might make Toby's throat feel better...

jess said...

Good Lord... no honey for babies...
BOTULISM....

Mama PC said...

BOTULISM, FOR SURE!

Mama PC said...

p'kawkkk

Mama PC said...

jess, are you feeling any better???

Josh said...

Infant botulism and honey

Viking Granny!!!! said...

Hey Jess,

Do NOT give Toby any HONEY!


Still not the "in thing"

How did my chilren EVER survive?

I dropped them on their heads periodically, I tossed them in the car without carseats....I played full blast music in their ears
.....I used clothe diapers and SAFETY pins....I put honey in their bottles if I was out of KARO...........

I gave them BABY ASPRIN.....I left my outlets uncovered and exposed....I let them eat as much dirt as they wanted to...

and I kept them away from all RED koolaid.........

BethC said...

I raised 3 sons and I don't recall ever hearing about honey & infants danger...

chrisharvey meeting tonite lots of inner healings for hurting people...sweeeeet
I saw one of my students from 4 years ago, and he's a senior now. He always loves Radiant....

Josh said...

Thank you for the disclosures, VKG. This all helps to explain a lot about your sons.

jess said...

how am I? well... my throat hurts, but not too bad. Toby feels bad, and he gave me quite a day today with the screaming and the nap-skipping....
but pretty good.
especially if I am lsat.

Josh said...

That's awesome, Beth.

Good night.

jess said...

Good night, Josh.

Josh said...
