2012

I can't believe it's February almost March of 2012. Bree is still in Idaho, she calls every now and again..She's doing really good. Katie is almost finished with school. That in itself is hard to comprehend for me. She's having a bit of trouble with her Language Arts. But it's also a college course, so she's getting college credit. She'll do good tho..I have faith in her...Cassie is having problems in school as well..Not academically but socially..There's people that don't like her (we all have some of those I guess) and is trying to make her life miserable..But she's hanging in there...Minor problems, but I guess we're due since Bree and Katie were sooo easy to raise. Gotta have one out of 6 aye?..Andie is doing reall well in her schooling. She has friends and Andie is sad she won't be going to the same high school as her friends..We're planning on moving to a nearby city this summer or next year. I am getting Cassie out of the high school she's at tho..Valerie is falling behind in school. So I am going to pull her out of Connections and concentrate on what she needs (phonics) until she gets it..Her teacher was also concerned. I was going to put her on a IEP but after her testing and referral just lots of waiting..So I guess our school year is going to be from March to March. We'll see.I have curriculum on order and lots of books coming in for Valerie and Sarah..Now I need to search for Art ideas..Sarah is doing well..Her recalling is developing so we're gonna take advantage of that..Brian had today off, which was nice..He becomes a full fledged partner next month in the company he's working for now..I had to sign a paper myself..I asked why since I don't go to the jobs, and was told it's just because I'm his wife..lol...But he's done well for the last 20 years I don't think he'd lead me astray now..lol...I need to make planners and a schedule..I am also gonna look into unschooling and notebooking for learning retention...I am happy with my life, just worried about Valerie..She's like Bree with anxiety about being in a school setting..I made the mistake of forcing Bree to go to school when the school said I should homeschool..Turned out she dropped out of school anyway..So very proactive with Valerie...Will keep you all updated...Crafty Hugs....
