anybody dismal out there?!
apparently yesterday was supposed to be the most dismal day of the year. who knew? it was actually a pretty darn good day for me. life's picking up again after my realizations to not take stuff personally and not make assumptions. *shrug*
the homeschooling meeting was enlightening and i feel soooooo much better about it than the alternatives i've been exploring. what did i find out? that i'm not insane. i don't have to be a religeous fanatic, nor do we need to 'school' for 8 hours a day. kindergarten 'curriculum' takes 30 minutes. omg, what the hell are teachers doing the other 7.5 hours? eva and i just get in and get out and the schoolwork's over and we have the rest of the day with little brother to hang out, do art, go places, cook, whatever. it was funny, several of us said the exact same thing about an unnamed-here-school that's supposed to be really good.... oppressive. we all felt it. that's telling if you ask me. a gnarly vibe i don't want either one of my babies in. i mean, that's just common sense.
so today? the glass is half full. yee-haw.
