180 degree turn

Oh so much going on. Back from the chiropractor who wants me to see the acupuncturist..to help the headaches. I'm game. I wrote my bachelor's thesis on Qi so this should be fun. And the added benefit of no headaches..? Excellent.

Thinking about homeschooling my boys instead of sending them to school. Saves money..always a benefit..and I get to ensure that they learn they way they learn best and at the rate they wish too, or that I wish them to learn at. A has totally stagnated at school and I am, well, ticked off. "He's doing fine. He's at or above grade level standards on everything." Yes, but are you letting him accelerate to beyond the grade level...nope! Plus, I hate that school is from 9-3:30 and that's it. Or then we get to scramble to add in all the extras that we want to learn. Whatever!

No, I think we're going to try at home. We get to accelerate beyond grade level standards and take classes that we want...much more like college. Only for 7 year olds.

I have also invited some of my artist friends to look at the children's story I am working on, to see if they want to illustrate it. So far one friend has asked to see it...and he's the one with a million things boiling away on the stove. Of course, this isn't a picture book, so maybe just a few beautiful pictures would be the difference between selling and not selling?

And then there's the idea of taking to heart what my MD and my chiro have suggested, which is to relax, take care of MYself, and be the person I want to be...novel idea, no? So I am trying. I want to be the hippie-mommie-writer-who makes her own bread and drinks coffee...hmm, guess I already am that! Perhaps I should just try to relax and see how the coat is already fitting instead of trying to tweak it all the time. <---Goal for today.
