Attempting to Buy a House Sucks

Since the property that started this whole buying a house/moving thing isn't available, we decided to keep looking. Seeing as how we had already given our landlord our 30 day notice, and started hauling our stuff over to Michael's mom's house, we didn't have much choice but to continue in the plan to move. We knew it might fall through, but we didn't know what an epic failure it would be.

We have an awful realtor it would seem. We give her lists of houses we would like to look at. She gives us lists of reasons that she can't/won't show them to us. She also decided that we were not interested in shorts sales. And since Michael told her that that we were in fact interested in short sales, she has not emailed us back in 2 days. Which is a pretty long time, considereing that she usually writes back in a efw hours.

Se we have seen about 2 houses so far. Including the one we can't have.

Unfortunately, because of my job (baby-sitting at my house) I can't just move to any house we'd like. It has to remain a reasonable drive for the families of the kids I watch. So we are pretty limited. Hopefully we find something.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
