They changed their degree a little. It's now a Masters in Public Policy and Administration. He will also have a graduate certificate in Public Management, I believe. I don't know what he is going to do with it all. He likes and is leaning more toward the political arena.
He is doing an internship now for a political party. He did election stuff earlier (grunt work) now he is doing writing -- letters to the editor, etc.
I would really like to see TLC be honest about the actual out of pocket costs. One of them (Nathan, I think) bought a bunch of coupons for $70+, but that was never counted in his OOP.
It showed the nurse taking her collecting walk and the other one in a dumpster. Show us how long it actually takes to accumulate the coupons, then organize them in some usable manner.

And aren't your kids supposed to grow up and move out? As much as I love mine, I am totally expecting them to grow up and get out!
And yes, they are supposed to.. I have told my 18 year old over and over that I expect him to get his degree, and get a job and a place of his own..
Sending many many hugs!!
Truth be told, I'm struggling with Wyatt's fourth birthday coming up. Just doesn't seem like it's possible that they grow so fast!

Let me tell ya a story. *SNIP*
So, if you want to do it. Don't doubt yourself. Dive in and go for it. You don't have to commit to it forever. Make the choice one year at a time. You are home schooling now -- aren't you the one teaching her to do everything? Who will teach her her colors, shapes, numbers, letters, manners, how to talk, where to go potty, how to eat with a spoon? That be you, Dearie. You are doing it now.
The amount of material out there is amazing. You can go anywhere from creating everything yourself -- maybe not the best option for you -- to stuff that is laid out in daily lesson plans to somewhere in between. There are a lot of easy ways to organize and stay on track without it being overwhelming. And, part of the beauty of hsing is that you can work at your own pace how and when it works best for all of you.

One of the reasons I love HS is this.. We can get all work done at home in a matter of 2 hours, what it takes 8 hours to do at school.. So, instead of me sending my little one to someone else for the bulk of the day, I get to spend it with them
Does it take patience.. sure! Am I always patient.. nope! Do we have days that we do nothing.. most definitely! But, when they are in elementary school, I don't feel the need to do so much work with them. They don't need a full day.
As Gt said.. learning takes many forms.. teaching them to tie shoes, wipe their bottom, count, color, etc.. We used to make all kinds of fun things learning opportunities. I dearly
Now, as they get older, it isn't as fun, I will admit.. Now, I have one who graduated.. one who is a junior, and one who will start high school next year. Yeah, the work load has gotten much harder. They pretty much are self taught at this point. They read their lesson, ask questions if they need to. If I can't figure it out, I seek other resources.. I do look forward to the Highschoolers graduating! It is so much more stressful! But, I am super excited about teaching my 3 year old how to read
It is definitely not for everyone!! Nothing in life is.. But, I do know many people who started out trying it for one year, and loving it! There is no certain learning style that works for every child.. each one us unique and whatever works for your kid and your family is what is best !
I don't have a degree, I tell everyone I went to college and got my MRS. Found my hubby there. I do have a certificate in Records Management, now working in medical records for a OB/GYN office, so gals considering have DH get the big V, have you looked into Essure? A non-surgical option for women that is usually paid for 100% by insurance.

He loved it at first. Especially the principal who would come take the K kids for a play/treat break while the teacher did some other stuff with Grades 1-2. Then my kid starting barfing in the mornings. I found out the principal had left. I talked to the teacher and this 23 year old little twit told me my kid didn't want to be away from Mommy. Ummmm, this was a kid that we were afraid would walk off with anybody. Don't think so. Not to mention this didn't start til several weeks in.
I decided I would go sit in the class room one day just to see what in the hell was going on. Let's just say, by 11:30, my son was getting his stuff out of his cubby, we were ripping his papers off the wall and we were headed home. For good.
I had a handwriting paper of his in my file for years. It wasn't perfect, but you could read the letters easily. In big red letters it said POOR WORK. She also told us -- actually told us -- that she didn't really like little kids. I hope she is stuck somewhere in a miserable dead end job with a really nasty boss.
I have always felt really badly for kids who have to spend all day in school and then come home and do hours of homework. Once I had picked the materials, I blocked out a schedule over the school year. Some stuff already had it laid out and I adjusted for our school year. Then, we often had 4 day weeks as long as the work was done. We took a really long Christmas break.
My son was constantly asking for tomorrow's stuff so he could get done early. By about second or third grade, I was handing him a list for the week. I didn't care when it got done BUT -- all help was during the day (once Daddy was home, I was done) and I had to have every thing to be checked and his corrections made by noonish on Friday. He has always been a night owl. I used to get up in the morning and find papers on my end table. #2 kid hated anything related to school. I had to practically duct tape her to a chair.

Regarding the TLC show, I haven't dumpster dived in a while (early November), but I'm wondering how this will change the open recycle trailers in the county over. This is all newspapers, but you never (or extremely rarely) find bundles of papers.
Dig and dig and dig and find nothing (or ancient papers) or what? I guess time will tell. I already see an increase in $$ on ebay for Qs.

Momma...I understand your sorrow of them growing so fast but...WAY TO GO MS. MAVIS!!

I have pretty much always gone with the list of what is due for the week. Sometimes they finish early, sometimes not. My oldest was the one I had to tie down to finish the work. he is still the same way in college.. He does everything very last minute. My younger son finishes everything early. There have been years that he finished all work before Christmas break by December 1st and was able to take the entire month off.
We also change our schedule so we don't start as early as the other kids.. we usually start after labor day and finish early may.
Mine are night owls too. they sometimes work into the evening, but they don't start early in the day.. whatever, as long as it gets done!

I have noticed the price of coupons has really seemed to go up on ebay lately too!
