All is well.

So not much going on this weekend. I am hoping to get some more things for the house. I need a new dish set. I found a couple great buys at the goodwill. I am madly in love with the goodwill! I have always gone there. with so many different people to buy for I can always find something.
I have been looking into workbooks and things for Emily for HS/UN. She is bored. I guess the ymca has a gym class for HS kids. I will be calling them and signing the kids up.
I am off to get some hot chocolate. I have awful PMS! ugggg.

We are good to go!

The paperwork went through and we are good to go. I can't tell you how excited I am to write my letters to the teachers!
well we are off to the NC ZOO today. Will post pics later.

Soo...

Ok. So the paper work has been sent in. I went to the Princable this mourning. I told him a few of things that was on my mind. He is a nice man. But still he is going to stick up for his school and his teachers. If I could just keep my children home and pay the truancy fines I would. I HATE this school and how it makes my children feel.
Anyway. I have to just relax and know I am doing the best I can to get them out and home with me so I can teach them. My future goals of being an nurse i fear is on hold for good. so i will finish my degree and look into medical transcription or decoding. If anyone can lead me in that direction that would be so very helpful.
i don't want to take the chance to get scammed!
Nodin will have his 2 year birthday Saturday! wow what a year this has been, for him, and all of us!
Ok . so I might be very crazy but I want another baby. I know . i know. I am just plain nuts. Emily wants us to adopt. I told her its not that easy. Will the feeling of wanting another child ever go away?

Our lives will soon change forever....

We have desided that we are going to homeschool / unschool. Yes there is a difrence, and I am not sure were we will fall. Unschooling is a child led teaching method. When a child is into somthing like bugs and then you build upon that. It is said that a person is his own best teacher. They want to learn and they are excited about things. They still have that excitment in there eyes when they learn something . So again I am not sure which way we will go.
I will be keeping Casey in his High School because he loves it there. So i will have Emily , Dylan, Austin, and ofcourse Nodin. I may end up on someones door step in my pjs asking if they can take me in! LOL! I think it will be an adjustment to say the least but we will be fine.
If you are wondering how we came to this I will give you the gorey details.First I would like to say we came from a wonderful school in Maine were they really cared about there students and gave these children respect, TO a school who beliveses in humileation and belittleing and not following regulations. So here is just a FEW exsamples of this school here in North Carolina; They have never followed Dylans IEP plan (he has a learning disability) I have called, emailed , wrote notes to no avale. When a child is late to school they are made to sing the Barney song in front of the class.(yes the I Love You song) The bus driver is allowed to threaten children on the bus by telling them if they dont shut there mouths she will do it for them ( she recived bus driver of the year and no I am not kidding) The last straw came whne I went to get Dylan for a doc appt and they left me in the office for 45 minutes because he was doing a test and I ended up missing the appt. while I was waiting for Dylan (who never came) there was a little boy in kindergarden and his teacher was with him and he was rolling around on his mat (the kid is little !) so the secratary called his dad. The little boy was so upset. They hung up the phone and the Secratry bent down (yes I heard the whole thing plus the teacher and a janitor) and told him if he didnt stop it she would take him in the bathroom and spank his behind and then when he got home his Daddy would whip him. I left the school bawling my eyes out. How is this legal? How is it that a secratary is allowed to TRY to disaplin a child. Is that not what a Principal is for? JUst Plian Discusting.
So those are just a FEW reasons I will be teaching my children at home.
More of our adventures to come.

Started school

So I have officially started college. Yikes. I am so very scared! lol! I think I just have to keep in mind that I cant have everything perfect , like the house work and things like that. i talked to a lady on the phone tonight who is a nurse and she was so nice . She is going to help me along the way.
The kids are doing great so far. Other then that not much is new. Emily is having her birthday party Friday night and a few of her friends are coming over. I really hope the boys are good! Nodin has one of his many appt scheduled with a new doc here. Its with an Ortho doc who was highly recommended. So fingers crossed there. we had CDS come today and find out what they will offer him. I'm sure OT, PT and maybe speech. I dint think he really needs speech though.
well that's about it for now.
Oh, I am planning on getting the kids in 4-H if anyone has any advice ? :)

Update

So t has been a long time since i posted! Lots of changes! So the kids started school nd all seemed ok there. Casey loves his high school. Foot ball is going good. I am going to start getting all of Nodins doctors set up. Got a great referral from his Ortho in Boston and happy to know that this Doc down here trained under his old Doc. So that is great for Nodin. Plus called the CDS here in NC and they will be coming out and he already qualifies for there services because of is issues.
The big news with me is that I decided to go to school. I am going Online only. I am getting my associates Degree in Health care management and then I will be going into Nursing school in 2 years. So I start the 8th and I am so very scared that i will fail! anyway I have to just stay positive .....
Jeff is getting home more and that is great! We have lots of birthdays coming up and we are still struggling very much financially. One day at a time. Jeff said that he will take all the bills and do them because I just worry so much about all of it. The kids and all there school stuff really killed us. But what are you gonna do!
Well that's about it for now. I have things to do today. ....
