Hormones are a pain; it is absolutely unfair that they affect not only what they're supposed to, but our minds and other stuff, too.<br /><br />All the unschooling people seem to swear that if you really give the kid time, they'll all start looking into learning things -- maybe not in traditional ways or subjects. Then again, I sure would be antsy, at eighth grade, to contemplate a year or two of couch potatoing and trying not to prod or push. <br /><br />I hope you find some program or group that will suit!Marcyhttp://prochaskas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862750278161876785.post-22566082011660683752011-05-20T09:25:17.070-04:002011-05-20T09:25:17.070-04:00Ah ladies, just knowing I'm not the only one f...Ah ladies, just knowing I'm not the only one feeling so lonely, well, it makes me feel a bit less lonely! :)<br /><br />Marcy~<br />No, I'm not on the pill, it's all just me. I've been peri-menopausal for a few years now, and I'm pretty sure I'm also dealing with either fibroids or Endometreosis (or both) as well. I'm just a big old hormonal mess!<br />Also on unschooling: while my daughter is pretty smart, she is NOT a self-starter. If she had her way, she'd never do a lick of schoolwork ever! :) We are already using online classes, but the teacher support is minimal so I end up being the primary learning coach...and I'm sorely lacking in science and math skills. Hubby is MUCH better in these areas, but he works so much...<br /><br />Jo~<br />I will have to look into that! I'm considering ordering some math/science/possibly geography stuff for summer work this year. (Can you hear my daughter screaming? LoL!) Of course, I say this EVERY spring, but then I never quite find the motivation as summer progresses...missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808071178116448180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862750278161876785.post-34087982546981223842011-05-20T02:38:53.812-04:002011-05-20T02:38:53.812-04:00We should live in the same town.

I did something I never thought I'd do this year, I ordered SOS. While my son, who I must admit is super-smart lol, has found errors in some stuff, it's been a wonderful program. He's at the point in math that I cannot teach him and SOS has been wonderful. Science he passed me probably years ago. He's very much a self-learner in that area, so I feel fortunate. The SOS is our God send, though. <br /><br />I don't blog a lot anymore because I feel so negative as well, plus I think I put way too much out there. I need to get over it because I think it's theraputic.johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033212669785433659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862750278161876785.post-9917637079987440312011-05-19T22:33:17.259-04:002011-05-19T22:33:17.259-04:00I've been feeling the bite of the loneliness m...I've been feeling the bite of the loneliness more lately, too. And worried about my daughter and I managing to burn all of our social bridges before she's five. <br /><br />By any chance do you use the pill? I've heard / read things about it messing with things like depression and anxiety. <br /><br />ETA: Ha! I can't believe the captcha word was "yeling" -- that's the topic of a conflict I'm working through with a friend -- my child yells too much during playdates...<br /><br />Have you considered unschooling? I'm way at the other end of homeschooling here, with a four year old and just really starting to think about it -- but unschooling and Charlotte Mason are among the top contenders for me. I would think by eighth grade you'd have someone who could lead a lot of her own learning, perhaps with the aid of online courses and such.<br /><br />I've been thinking of you; may this time be like Elijah's in the cave, when he was given to rest and his food was brought to him.Marcyhttp://prochaskas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
