Homeschool Nations - Alberta, Canada

Jul. 27, 2006

Woohooh!

I think I got the idea of editing the template FINALLY!  Sorry I am bit html unsavvy on this but hey, I think I am learning after all!

I have had a few learning curves myself in this past month or two.  A couple of months back I decided I wanted to learn to iceskate.  Being an Aussie living in Canada this did not come as easily as it might to for some of North American friends and relatives. 

I left enrolling into the class to the absolute very last minute.  Actually the last 45 minutes before the 1st session began to be precise!  When I called up the customer service lady said the spot must have been kept just for me!

Okay I decided to enrol and off I went.  It was hard work! I couldn't do anything that all of the other people in the group seemed to do more easily than I.

 

By the end of the class I was feeling exhausted, emotionally drained and shattered.  I didn't like this feeling of defeat.  I am an intelligent person and can do many things but this learning experience humbled me to the place where I could feel again what it had been like in a classroom when I was a child and powerless to anything about it.

 

Thank God that I have been given the opportunity and the divine responsibility to make different choices for my children.

Yes I know what you mean. I have been to several blog sites and I can't believe the things they do with it. I have been trying to figure out what they are doing, but don't have clue. The support doesn't help. It's the stuff I have arleady figured out on my own. Keep up the good work you are closer than me. I only got one picture up and I don't even remember how I did it. Oh well.

Nice to know there are others trying to figure it out, I think I will blog about this.

Thnaks,

I appreciated your comment. I can help you work out how to get pictures up on your blog site if you would like. I was looking for your blog site but I don't think I ended up in the right place! Can you give me directions? (laughing)!
