Mar. 22, 2006 - It's taking over!
Oh my...I am finding myself trying to tame
the LAUNDRY MONSTER this week! Funny how a pile of laundry can
grow and grow and grow, until it's this entity of its own!
I have decided to just NOT stress sbout the condition of the house and
my utter lack of organization until AFTER we are done schooling for the
year. I have been beating myself up about not getting these
overhaul projects done, and I'm just not gonna doot!
Dominic has standardized testing coming up April 4, 5, 6, and
7th. He has done very well on the practice tests, so I am not
worried. I WAS worried, but then I sought wise counsel in the
form of a wonderful lady named Carolyn on the Women @ Home message
board I belong to. She operates a blog called Guilt Free
Homeschooling, and if I can ever figure out how to LINK, I'll link you
to her!
She let me know that my son would have to be a complete imbecile, and I
would have to have not taught him virtually ANYTHING during this past
school year for him to score below the 13th percentile, which is what
homeschooled kids in Colorado have to score at or above in order to
remain homeschooled. In the past, Dominic typically scored in the
TOP 5% of his class in all academic areas.
Really I guess I was having these awful visions of him accidentally
skipping an answer bubble and getting every subsequent answer
wrong...something like that. But that's me...a born worrier!
I will truly breathe easier next year, because we're enrolling the kids
in West River Academy, a private, state accredited umbrella
school. They'll keep our records, provide counseling for HS
related issues, and the best part....NO TESTING!!! Because they
are an accredited "private school" we will be out from under the
burning glare of the school district!
