Reaching For a Higher Education...

Today's news & Goodbye

Good morning everyone.  It's with a sad heart that I write this post.  With current events as they are, ie my new position as Supervisor of this Federal Office, my spouse needing to work as many shifts as he can get, needing to bring in outside care for my aging MIL, amongst a slue of other issues that have arisen, needless to say, my poor blogs have suffered.

It has also become apparent that my poor children have suffered right along with my blogs as I've (we've) been too busy and distracted to properly guide them.  It's been a heart breaking decision, but with a very heavy heart, we have returned our children to the government system.  Yes, as much as unschooling is fun, enjoyable and brings great amounts of joy into our lives, with parents who are no longer able to be there and be involved, we have turned our precious child back over to the public school system to educate.

I will be leaving Homeschoolblogger as it would no longer be fitting to post here.  Farewell and thanks for the wonderful friendships, prayers, and words of encouragement.  You will all be greatly missed.  Love you all.

Sincerely,

Vicki ~ Retired UNschooling mom. =(

Arrrrrgh!

You got me, too! I was freaking out, actually! I can't believe my heart sunk so quickly.

My response was, "Whaaaaaaaaa?!?!"
(Insert whiny tone mixed with confusion and disbelief here.)

I was sure hoping that was an April Fool's! :'P

But in my defense, you were going through some rough times lately. I thought you were being forced. ;o)

Peace and Laughter,

PS- I did mean what I said about our friendship!

Some day, some how ... I'm gonna get you woman!!

Boy, you really had me! While reading your post, I put my head down on my desk and groaned. Not another one jumping ship, I was thinking!!

And then ... I saw the "punch line"! Ahhhh!

You are a stinker, my dear!

But you are lots of fun and I'm glad you're in a feisty-enough mood to make us laugh!

Happy April!

...AND mean. Especially considering that it wasn't enough for you to just post this and hope people would find it; no, you had to go the extra step and lure people over! Maybe you don't have enough to do... :-)

Yes, you got me. I read the entire thing, including your "retired" signature, before hitting the scroll bar and seeing the punchline. Not to mention that I'd already had a whole day to think about it after you left that comment on my blog saying you were leaving homeschooling and HSB. And here I had even spent time thinking about what i could say to encourage you as you began a new phase of life...

Hmmm. Too bad I'm not a very good practical joker. Too bad most people aren't, or you'd be in big trouble. .... Thanks for the chuckle, and I'm very glad it was all a joke. Whew!

Oh my goodness!!!!!!! You totally got me. But the whole time I was just thinking , 'WHAT????' and my jaw was on the floor...it just didn't sound like you. I was really starting to feel sorry for George too!!!!!! I'm glad you were only joking. You know, my hubby and I started dating on April Fools Day....every year I think perhaps he might say "April Fools" and say it was all a big joke....just kidding!!!!!!!! ;) We just celebrated our 14th year being together. No joke!
