Another Day
Today is going to be another one of those days. I've been awake since 4 am, and I ended up falling back asleep at 5:30 and in doing that I forgot to put my husband's work shirt in the dryer. It would not have been a big deal, but he had to be in a town that is about an hour away for a meeting at 7:30. Anyways, my girls did not want to get up and so I ended up fighting with them for 30 mins. and I didn't even attempt to put them out to catch the bus. I loaded up my 3 year old son and I dropped them off at school. Now back at home and on my 2nd cup of coffee in my Jamaica cup ( a gift from my mother in law, we've never been ) my son is quite ill. He is in a bad mood and the difficult life of a 3 year old is catching up with him!!! I on the other hand am putting off my chores as long as I can. I am TIRED!!!!! Anyways mornings like this make me ready for December, so I can begin Homeschooling. My girls come home with some new trash every day. I am sooo suprised at the stuff some of these kids do and say. And my oldest is only in 3rd grade. And on top of that ,we live in a very wealthy school district. So I was shocked at the things the kids my girls are around are doing. i substitute teach at their school sometime and at other schools in our city school system ( which, by the way is HUGE, we have 3 Elementary schools in our school system, and my girl's school has 800 in it alone and thats only K-4) Anyways when I sub I usually like to do younger grades, and I was shocked to see 2 nd graders last year with fake nails and Eyeliner. I was thinking What in the world are the parents thinking? Not my kids!!! Sorry no offense to anyone who is okay with that , but I believe our girls in this "Modern Day " are already being pushed into things that even in my youth ( I am only 26) was a no no. Girls are exposed to stuff they shouldn't be way to early. Anyways point being I am ready to get control of the things my kids are exposed to.Yes I realize I can't protect them from every thing, but I hope by homeschooling I can atleast teach them to make the right decisions in life. Well I guess I have been on my soap box long enough. Thanks for listening!!!! I hope every one has a blessed day!!!!

Seems like HS kids don't have that worldly maturity near as early (or at all) as PS kids. Our kids have managed to stay behind the latest fads and ugly fashions by virtue of not being exposed to them all day at PS. Bringing them home will slow down that worldly maturity that ruins children's innocence.
