Nursing

I have now nursed for about 10 years total.  This evening I was thinking about some of the funny or odd things I have done while nursing.  I have nursed while cooking, while eating (not odd, fairly normal actually), while making baskets, facing backwards while riding in a car, facing forwards while riding in a car and, tonight, I nursed my 2-1/2 year old while playing ragtime on the piano (it didn't sound awesome, but it wasn't horrid either!).  Anyone else have funny or odd things they have done while nursing?

Homeschooling

First, day 5 without a car.  I actually picked it up yesterday, drove it home, called the shop and took it back.  The alignment is still messed up.  We are out of milk, eggs and many other things, but no one is starving yet!  Yes, I *could* go to the grocery store in the evening, but had a Pampered Chef party to go to last night (way more fun than grocery shopping) and was hoping to wait until today to go shopping.  We shall see!

I thought I should update on my quitting homeschooling.  This week has been a tad rough.  I've felt like crying many many times.  But in the midst of it, I feel peace about quitting.  Part of that is that after a couple days of reflection, I realized that it really was just the curriculum we were using (My Father's World).  It wasn't working at all!  It's a wonderful program, one that I will recommend.  It just wasn't working with our kids at their ages.  The program was geared towards 4th-8th graders.  Which, if you think, means it is way over the heads of THREE of my kids.  My three youngest.  Which meant they were not interested in what I was reading, out loud, to them, for an hour to an hour and a half a day.

For now, I am going to use something called, Organic Homeschooling.  It's new.  I'm going to just try it out for the next 2 months and see how it goes.  So that's where we are today.  Talk to me tomorrow, it just might change!
