Slow Weekend

I wasn't exceptionally productive this weekend. I am getting a GORGEOUS ring from my partner. I am so exited!!! It was something that really caught my eye and it has a milky pale stone in it which is something that I love. White in it's many shades is really my favorite colour.My partner is amaaaaaaaaaaazing.

But anyway we took something of a break for the holiday. Only a two day break really but with the weekend and all we really didn't do a lot of school which I think really throws us off. We have our routine and that's important. He said to me " We have to do triple the work on Monday" . And not in a,Darn I don't wanna' way but like a...."Mom I want to catch up " way. It's good to take a break but its also good to get back to your 'regularly scheduled program".

This week we have a fun thing going on. We are finally going to meet up with a group of other homeschoolers. AP homeschoolers! I am really exited to finally get a chance to meet real live eclectic , gentle parent, homeschoolers. I think that this is going to be really nice for us. Plus that it's going to be at the Museum so how can you go wrong:) Science and attached homeschoolers. That is where it is at.....

Tomorrow we are going to Make MORE Rice Crispy Treats, do some science experiments and catch up on math and spelling. Actually we have a busy week ahead. We will be twice in the city.

Thanksgiving came and went. It went along nicely actually. I think my family is finally starting to 'get' homeschooling. I think they are seeing that he isn't socially isolated and that besides being a little overly polite on occasion that he is a regular kid with just a different academic structure that works for him.

This was a long time coming. It was hurtful the eye rolls I got and the way people disrespected my decision to homeschool. I understand that people were skeptical and I understand the apprehension to not just jump up and rejoice over the concept but I think respectful discussion would have been the more logical approach as opposed to petty gossip and offhand remarks.

That's all really lately. I have been randomly busy very much with a myriad of family events.I can't wait for the normal week to commence. The holidays are nice but it's nice to be back....
