If the point of education is to expand the mind, my kids do better playing hooky. Yesterday Emory was mildly ill. He wouldn't have gotten anything out of school but he did end up learning where the beef on his table comes from, anatomy, and that Math is useful for building an enduring fence. Today, both boys will get to see one of the older apiaries (bee farms) in the nation. Plus whatever else we can get into.

Does anyone know where I can give away school supplies to kids in need of them? I know they have drop off in the beginning of the school years, but are there any places all year round??

OK, this is a serious question I just received. I already know the type of responses we may get here but let's try and be adults. It's a legitimate question and there may be a few out there with real knowledge not uneducated opinions.
"G'day mate, I was just wondering what your or if you would like to ask the group members thoughts on a Great Wall 4x4? I need something cheap and to stay with my love for 4x4ing but sadly had to sell my 2011 duel cab hilux due to baby on the way. So what are the general pros and cons of a Great Wall in your honest opinion? I will be doin the usual. Bullbar, wench, rooftop camper, awning, slide draws in the back, lifting and tyres. But how good are they? Worth the $22,000 for a brand new one or not?
Look forward to your reply mate. Thank you.
If you feel the need to ask the group. Is it possible to be tagged so I can see what people's responses are? Thanks"

The middle school in my hometown is issuing iPads to all of its students so they can go paperless. All homework will be done online with the iPads. What are your thoughts on this?

I am happy to report that the day continued to get better. I could not be more blessed to have such amazing children!! My 2nd daughter helped me with dinner, my oldest hung out with Mr. Cranky pants when she got back...who did perk up, but only ate veggies for dinner :P Lilly was very excited about her new food item (always a big deal to find something new bringing them that much closer to "normal"). She kept eating and eating, I finally had to tell her to save the rest for tomorrow ;)
Lilly got everything into her today :) It really is working well making her first cleanse at night ready for her when she wakes up...gets the day off on the right start!!! (well as right as it can be when mommy has not slept and is super cranky :P ).
Then everyone got jammies on and watched a fairy movie in my bed :D The girls went to bed late and Joshua and my oldest went to bed early :D Joshua fussed a little so I gave him 5 minutes and then went back in to move him and restack his blanket system...so praying we will sleep tonight as one night was more then enough for me this time around!!
So, praying my neighbours cool it tonight! I do not tell you much about them but they may very well be close to the worst people to live near and I found out I can report them to crime stoppers online, will get to that once the kids are back at school and I have no errands to run. I am going to finish up my chores, go to bed, and get back on my "diet" tomorrow...easter is staring to be visable around my middle :P hahahah. Hope everyone had a super great day...I was thankful for our walk in the sun even though I was sooo wiped, especially once the snow started up tonight :P Who ever is praying it away from them, but in my direction...I am good thanks, I really do not need any more!!! ;)

Had 2 of my Art Students tell me that they don't have Art at their school anymore?! How sad that they take away the creativity from kids! Without Art there would be no Architects, Fashion Designers, Musicians, Painters, jewelry designers, Toy designers, Engineers (cars) Etc. what they are forgetting is Everything has to be created First by sketches, drawings! Smh

A dialogue between a Mother and a Son at homework time:(
4th grader-Mom!! I don't understand this?
Mama-What don't you understand?
4th grader- This, I don't remember what we did. I remember this part but forgot what to do here.
Mama- Let me look at it. Hmmm, Ok I think you are supposed to...wait. What? OK...hold on let me think? I am not sure what you are supposed to do exactly so let's do it this way.
4th grader- NO! That isn't right.
Mama-Yes, it is the right answer. It won't be wrong, I promise...look!
4th grader- NO! That isn't the way he told us. That is wrong.
Mama-I know, but you can do it this way. It is easier and faster. Just watch, try this.
4th grader-(in tears, angry, FRUSTURATED) NO!
Mama-I promise it will be right, just trust me. This is how I learned it, it works. People have been doing it this way forever.
4th grader-You don't know what your doing, you don't know anything. (storms away from the table)
Mama- (after a 10 minute cool down) Maybe I can google it and find out what we are supposed to do.
4th grader-fine.
And Mama googles it and finds an agreed upon way to re-teach that nights homework. Sadly in googling she finds thousands of other parents who have already turned to the internet to help their kids with homework and she wonders what did parents do before computers??? ...The answer is they taught their children and the teachers were allowed to teach their children in a simple repetitive way everyone could understand. That is how a foundation is built, but if we can't understand it, we can't teach it and most of us just don't understand.
And unfortunately the homework isn't finished...
4th grader- But Mom now I have to write how I know my answer is right. What do I say?
Mama- Ughhh...just write, because it is. Your teacher will understand.
-and he does.
