Nov. 14, 2008 - ugh. teen hormones (and short Donna update)
Don't let anyone tell you that boys don't have the same probs with hormones as girls......THEY DO.
Remember when small son couldn't WAIT for his extra lit class to end? Just Tuesday, he announced that he'd like to find out what book they're working on next, "just in case he might want to take the class again".
Sigh.
I'd forgotten......or seriously just blanked out all the teen angst and drama. Only daughter was ENOUGH of an experience for ANYONE'S lifetime.....and large son just sort of......well.........he was just SO EASY, comparitively so.
NOW......small son.
I've emailed the teach and haven't received a reply.....not sure if even SHE wants to tackle 6 jr. high age girls with a shy boy thrown in.....and I'm wondering now about those girls.....hmmmmm.
School is actually going better these days. He enjoys the math, grammar and other areas I've added a la Charlotte Mason.....actually, I think he enjoyed 'the hunt' as I so lovingly refer to it......and it's not over yet. STILL desperately seeking an American History book......need suggestions.
Personally, I think he enjoys transition, even though all the books on Aspergers state change is a BIG bugaboo. It's probably the lack of a few subjects he REALLY likes. Sigh.
I will devote an entire post to Donna sometime soon.....please keep praying as her husband has some important decisions to make. She is in 'step down' care at hospital and having serious short term memory probs.....see my homestead blog for details. I try not to overlap too much.
On that note, I will add here that knitting is coming along......finished some wrist warmers and soon to be mittens. My 'guys' wanted wrist warmers too.....imagine.
Ladies retreat tonight and I STILL don't know if I'm going. Don't know what's wrong with me. Hormones of my own? Winter blues setting in? Just plain lazy? Who knows?
Gonna run.
