What happen to being nice?

Just wondering what happen to being nice to others went. 

I will tell you I been driving Daddy Wolf to many doctors appointment this week to find out what is going on with him and we have to go to a big city for test and man oh man have I been given the number finger many times.   

Today when we were going a person wanted to turn. I slowed down and let that person over thinking I was being nice. I was nice to that person but the person behind me gave them the old number one sign and hooked his horn to make sure I look at him to see he thought I was one number in his book.   

Wow!  People are always in a hurry, with no place to go.  I don't get it. They speed down the road, run you off the road to get to work and when you go to the store you wait  forever to get help or checked out. 

What is going on with this world?   I think we all need to slow down help others as we can and be nice.   Why?  is it bad to be nice to others?  I don't get it. 

 

Another fun day at Wolf Bay High!

First wanted to fill you all in and thank you all for the wonderful prayers.  Daddy Wolf is doing better but does have a ways to go but is better.  Thanks alot.
You know doctors are nice but you get tired of seeing them.

Today will be test day here at Wolf Bay High.   Math and Science one.   So, we will be doing tons of studying this morning then this afternoon test time.   Yea....

Up and making potato rolls this morning for the gang.  This way there brains will have tons of power and think better for the test.

The weather is cool this morning 51 out it feels so refreshing and makes you want to do more.
So, I guess I need to get off and get some work done around here.

Once again thanks every one for the prayers, pixie dust or happy thoughts they are working. Keep them coming.

Need tons of prayers, happy thoughts or pixie dust.

Daddy wolf is not doing well. Went last Thursday to have a tooth pulled.  Took them 2 hours to do it.

Now he woke up this am with a mouth the size of a base ball,  in tons of pain.  Loaded him up took him to doctor they put him on some strong antibiotics for infections.  Going to give it 24 hours to work if it don't he has to go into the hospital for surgery and more antibiotics.  

Right now he is resting which is the best thing for him. I have to watch him closely so I go in quietly to make sure he is breathing ok and doing fine. 

He looks so bad its not funny the poor man is in tons and tons of pain and his skin on his face looks so tight and hard...


So we need tons of prayers he gets better in the next 24 hours and is back to being Daddy Wolf once again

Right now we all are scared and nerves..

Do you work?

I love this question I laugh alot to myself when someone ask me.  

My answer is yes I work I am housewife, mother, teacher, doctor, chief, housekeeper, animal keeper, parnter, mom and list goes on and on.

Alot of people think because you stay home all day you have alot of time on your hands.  Well I really don't.  I work hard every day.  I teach both girls. Well really only one now.  Help the other one with some college classes.  But, really don't teach. 

Giving your children a education is alot of work.  You want to make sure you are doing the right thing and not messy them up. 
There's lesson plans to be make,  material to get ready for each class.  Your speech and how you are going to go over the material. 
Some days you wonder is it worth it.  There is no paycheck at the end of the week to show you did it.  But, you do get something better then a paycheck you get to see the light go off in there eyes when they get something. You get tons of hugs and thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Its all worth it at the end of the week.

Homeschooling is a job like any other job you wonder sometime what you get your self into.

But, over all its been the best job I have ever held down. It will be one of the only jobs I miss when time comes for me to be done.

So, next time someone ask if you work, hold your head high and say yes I do and enjoy it.  

Stop Bullying.

A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take out a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell i...t they’re sorry. Now, even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullys another child. They may say they’re sorry, but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. 

What does it cost to homeschool?

Wow!  I can't believe what people think when you tell them you homeschool.   
They say wow that is good I couldn't do it, then they say well at least its cheaper then putting them in a public school and you don't have to worry about taxes. 

Ok first of all yes homeschooling can be cheaper or you can end up paying more then a public school it depends one what you want to do with your child.  Every family goes at it a different way, it all depends on what works for your family.   I know I do some things others wouldn't do, but it worked great for my family. 

Second yes we still pay taxes on our house, even though we don't use the public school.  Does it bother us yes but you know what that is life sometimes we had to do things we don't like.  

But, you can homeschool for cheap there is tons of online programs out there you just have to have printer and go from there. 

I can't homeschool!

I have been told that question so many times, when people ask me or my children what school they go too they reply we are homeschool.  

First question out of there mouths is I can't do that.   I reply with well homeschooling is not for  everyone. There are famous homeschooler and there are unfamous homeschooler.   Same with public schools there are famous ones and unfamous one. 

Homeschooling is not for everyone but those that do it enjoy it.   Yes, there are days you shake your head and said oh my what did I get my self or my children into.
Then a light will off in one of there eyes and you will say this why I am doing it.

Then comes the wonderful S word out of peoples mouth.  Its solicitation.  Homeschoolers get as much and as little solicitation as they want and need. They are into as much if not more then public school children.  That is never a problem.  The problem is when to say enough is enough as there is tons and tons of things to do.

No homeschooler do not live in a box and are not locked in a house. They do get out and do meet tons and tons of people. They are not weird people, homeschooler walk, talk, eat and do school like everyone person.
