I have been busily homeschooling my son since August. It's been quite a journey--excitement, anxiety, doom, more anxiety, hope, and now more excitement again as I see the results showing themselves. He said to me just yesterday (after being praised for remembering several things in a row...), "Mom, when you think you're stupid, you act stupid. I'm acting smart because I don't believe I'm dumb anymore." Simultaneously felt a dagger in my heart and yet screamed for joy (to myself, of course!). A simple high-five is all it took to make him smile before going out for recess.
I love my job!

Congratulations, Ellise. You are doing THE most important job a parent can do. You are educating your child. I'm so proud of you. You're making a huge difference in your child's life.
Thanks, Tric! Means a lot from you--one who quit her job just to do the most important job needing to be done. You're a model example to me. You're amazing!
Hugs,
Ellise
You're doing the best thing for Connor. It's hard I know...but well worth the effort. Big hugs for both of you!
Thanks, Gret! You're another great 'Mom' example to me. Thank you, always, for your support, friendship, and always-welcomed advice. I thrive on it!
Hugs back,
Ellise
