Well that's what it seems like, right? I blog about every 10 days. So sad for someone who actually claims to have a blog. Maybe if I were a professional blogger like my sister in law, but 'naw.
I am thinking of closing down shop here. Not because I don't like it, but because by the time the thought of my blog actually crosses my mind, I am way too tired or called away from the computer by one of the many boys in this house.
I hardly get to read email. And if I do, it takes me a week just to respond. So- hmmmm. What to do?
In the meantime - here's the scoop:
We are looking at options for Bubby's kindergarten and "elementary career". Doesn't that sound bad? I never, ever wanted school to be high-pressure for him. But it will. After being the assistant teacher and occasional sub at his preschool this year, I have realized that I will always be heavily engaged in his educational experience. Could be worse...
So right now we are considering an "alternative" curriculum at our public school. It is important to me for the kids to go to public school because it's fun and everyone goes there. As in - it's like the real world. However the program we may enroll Bibby with is a little different. It's a tad more challenging than the standard curriculum taught to the elementary kids here. He will learn the same lessons, but also learn how to apply them in real situations. This program not only covers the Three R's, but adds drama/theater, music, community outreach and parental involvement. Heavy parental involvement.
So it looks like I will continue to teach/sub at the preschool next year as well as join the program with Bubby and somehow go to school with him (not every day). We also have to decide whether to enroll Bubs in full day kindergarten or half day. The full day will give him more learning, but may be overwhelming. And tuition is $3000...for a kindergartner...at a public school. I also hear rumors that I am being nominated for a board position at school. Elections are in a few weeks. Aack.
Other than the school drama, we are pretty good around here. Deso and I are getting over a minor flu thing this week. We are all looking forward to Superbowl tomorrow! GO BEARS!
