UGGG homework!

I just spent 4 hours doing homework with Christian! I don't think I've ever spent that much time doing homework while in 8th grade. I now know everything I never needed to know about the Revolutionary War!

Yes, history is important. In fact, I believe one of the most important subjects. But this essay's format was ridiculous! We spent more time and frustration on how it was supposed to be written than the actual content. I just love how Common Core is molding our kids to be cookie-cutter replicas. Hail to the test!

There's a fine line between chaos and a hullabaloo

Glad to have you back hun! It's been a crazy week, welcome back to the chaos! PS... Forgot to take the trash out Tuesday, and my honey do list is pretty long! ;) 

Just one moment

Had a moment of depression today, a feeling of complete hopelessness. I only got to wallow in it for a short moment. I wish I could have stayed in that moment a little longer, to work through it and figure things out. But no, I'm not allowed sit in despair, I'm a mom!
A big thank you to three acquaintances today who became my friends. Having no one to talk to is always the worst!
