You'll notice two new things on the side of my blog today.
One, as of next week, I'll again be a homeschooling mom. This has been one frustrating school year. I'm a homeschooler at heart (a homebody at heart, too). After this week, starting the 11th of February, I'll be bringing the kids home to learn at least most of the day again. I still have a few final things to clear up with my work schedule, the kids' teachers, etc., but we're looking forward to a new beginning to our home learning! I'll post more on this later.
Two, my "I support Barack Obama" widget. I've decided to "come out" with this on my blog because I feel more and more strongly that I support this man. His speeches make me cry and give me so much hope for America. It was hard not to fully support John Edwards because he's such a great guy and his family is awesome and they homeschooled for a time, but since he's dropped out I can lend all my support to Obama.
I would also love to support Hillary Clinton, but in some ways she scares the heck out of me (I did not like her book, It Takes a Village, with her dream of universal preschool for every child, taking my kids away from me from birth practically) and I just don't know if I could take more Clinton years. Bill in the White House again! He was an inspiring speaker, and at least the budget was balanced when he was president, but he's got too much drama, and too much last century.
Anyway, just thought I'd explain myself. I'll definitely be writing more on the homeschooling thing. I suspect I'll have more 'splainin' to do on that one!
