Christine... I know. I was so proud of myself when I sent the text. Did you like all the uber cool abbreviations that I used. I felt like a true, savvy-tech, 13 year old. And.. uh... I was so proud of myself that I must have reread the message I sent about 20 times. Like a proud mom whose kid pooped on the potty for the first time. Dang.. I should've taken a picture.
Dreama... ah, what's a little frostbite when there's Reeces Pieces Blizzard underneath. Scrape it off the top and it's good as new. ;-)
Hey y'all! It's been an entire YEAR since I last updated this blog. I can't believe there was once a time where I blogged daily. I think Facebook has ruined me for blogging because it's so easy to just post a quick update here and there. My blog posts always turn into novels. ;) A year ago, I posted my educational plans for the kids over the summer. Well, that turned out to be a big wash! My niece, Hannah, came to stay with us for six weeks over the summer and we decided to can the school and just enjoy our summer break. We had a ton of fun, so it was worth it! So what's happened in the last year and where are we headed? Here's an update on each of the kids: 1. Noah turned 13 last October. THIRTEEN!! Y'all, I have a teenager! Noah's doing really well. Not a lot of progress, but zero regression, so it's all good. We stopped doing biomed with Noah 7 years ago, although we continued to do therapies here and there, as our budget allowed. And, i...
I know that I haven't been blogging much lately. I don't know... I think I've just lost interest in it. In the past, I could blog about mindless, frivolous drivel - like how Sim didn't know who Rick Springfield was or my letter to Michael Phelps or how I'll drive across Texas in order to find a bag of special edition Hershey kisses . I could write about things that were fun and lighthearted - but I just can't find that place inside me anymore. Now, I did nearly blog the other day about how I almost had a panic attack when I thought that L'Oreal discontinued my favorite lipstick, but it just seemed pointless and unimportant - especially when compared to the real stuff going on in my life. I don't know what to blog about anymore. I know that blogs are meant to be for the blogger only and that you should be able to blog about anything you want - but I can't help but recognize that blogging about RAD is alienating me from the people in my real life...
I have started and restarted this post a million times. I started it being serious and I started it being funny and then I'd erase it each time because I didn't want to offend anyone... because the truth of the matter is this - when you talk about your educational decisions for your kids, some people are going to get offended. And I hate offending people or causing controversy or any sort of discomfort whatsoever. But here it is... we've decided to pull out Nandi and Eli from public school, and next week, we will start homeschooling them. I'm going to be the first to admit that I'm a bit of an educational snob. I am extremely pro education. I love to read and I love to research and I love to think that my kids will go off and get advanced degrees and discover how to clone people and make robotic machines that will do all the laundry and fold it and put it away so I will never have to do it ever again. I have high , if somewhat slightly unrealistic, hopes for my ...

By the way, I got your text. I was soooo high on Benadryl, and the next morning I assumed I dreamed it (because Leslie does not know how to text!!!).
Imagine my surprise when I sobered up and it was still on my cell phone.

Besides, I did use the "sharpen picture" option in Picasa. ;-)
