My 12 yo ds has been at church camp since Monday.  He comes home today thank God.  I have missed his little face!  My 17 yo ds has been sick for 2 days.  He has a 103 temp coming and going, stiff neck and headache.  I think he got sun sickness from skating in the heat on Tuesday.  He is drinking lots of water and resting comfortably.

Can I whine for a moment?  I am so sick of EBAY!!!!  I am torn because when I do buy/sell on Ebay it works in my favor, but I have had so many listings removed due to "policy violation" because I am allegedly selling "teacher editions."  I am NOT selling TE's!!!  I am selling student books and workbook type items.  I truly think it is the word "homeschool" that is causing them to assume the items are teacher items.  What a stupid policy anyway.  I highly doubt there are thousands of kids hitting Ebay in droves looking for their EXACT teacher manual so they can cheat!  As if students get graded on any thing other than the state "standardized" test these days.   GRRRRRRRRR!!!  So, now I am looking for alternatives to Ebay, none of which have the traffic or response rate that Ebay does, but it is free listing and less hassle when I do sell something.  I detest the high ebay fees too, but I guess we get what we pay for!  RANT OFF now.

I am still working on getting all the things I need for Sonlight Core 5 and 400.  I still need about 40 books.  Yeah, 40.  This year I am going to be smarter and each month I will buy SL gift certificates and then I will have the money "saved" up to just buy our Cores outright next summer!  The Lord knows if I save money elsewhere someone (read DH) will find a way to spend it on something else.  So, that is the plan.
