Its been a while since I posted hasn't it? Things have been insane around here lately. Between doctors appointments, and family, and ER visits, and work commitments its been nuts! Things have settled a bit now so I can gather my thoughts.
In recent weeks, we have had M to the ER because he dislocated his elbow (known as nursemaids elbow.) Every thing is fine with him now.
M and C have both been to the doctor for their 3 and 4 year checkups. Everything is wonderful there. We have come up with a better plan of managing M's asthma. Their height and weight are right where they should be.
I had an episode with bleeding. It was only one night and only lasted a few minutes but it scared the heck out of me. I have never had any bleeding at all with my first 3 pregnancies so I was worried. So I saw my midwife and had another ultrasound. Everything seems to be well now so no more concern.
DH has been really busy at work lately lots of events going on. He has been working overtime and coming home beat!
Oh and lets see, last night I threw out a whole pan if lasagna because I somehow screwed it all up. It was one of those recipes where you don't have to cook the noodles beforehand. Well lets just say they didn't cook while baking either. It was strange to me because I have made this exact recipe before and it turned out ok. checked and rechecked and I didn't do anything wrong so I am not sure what happened. Needless to say I won't be making that one again. As much as I like to make things simpler I will definatly make it the old fashioned way next time!
School is...going. I am still not very happy with things but it will get better I am sure. I am very interested in the idea of unschooling because I feel that my kids learn well this way, but I live in NY and the regulations are nuts here. They will have to do standardized testing and I am not sure I can trust that they will know the things they should. Things like math facts and grammer and that kind of stuff. Oh well It will work itself out one way or the other. All I know is that there is no other choice for us. Just read the newspaper and you will see why I just will not send my kids to school! What is it 4 or 5 incidents in the last 2 weeks...I don't think so!
Ok I guess this is long enough now. I will be back soon.

I'm in NY too and I agree with you about all the state regulations etc.. The news last night was talking about an area school that just installed metal detectors. They haven't found anything with the detectors yet, however they did fiind 3 knives outside in the bushes. Our kids were in private school last year but many of the Christian schools use the public textbooks so they can offer Regents etc.. I'm enjoying picking out our things.
