I totally connected with your blog! ...Oh Heather! I totally connected with your blog! Both of my kids are going through that right now. I have always vowed that I would NEVER home school and honestly, this is the first year that I'd even wished I could. <BR/>Katie got pneumonia in November and missed ALOT of school and in high school, we are on a semester system - which means only 4 classes per day and she missed alot when she was off. She worked hard and almost caught up. I guarded her like a hawk at Christmas. Made her go to bed early and not alot of plans (although my mom and David's dad were both in the hospital during Christmas as a result of a collapsed lung and a stroke, respectively - so we did end up running a bit with a nice dose of stress added). <BR/><BR/>Katie went back to school this week and is sick already again! She is quite sick and we are going to take her back to Toronto to the Sick Kids Hospital tomorrow to see what's going on. I knew that her immune system would be low with the pneumonia - but 3 weeks later!?!?! She's already had 4 rounds of antibiotics and I'd prefer not to have another one - but exams are starting next week at school!? AHHHH Don't know what to do. <BR/><BR/>My son, Jake, has had alot of anxiety about school this year. It started again when he started back to school last Monday. And the teacher, once again, listed everything coming due right away. This overwhelms him and puts him into despair! We had a written project/oral presentation thing due today. He did the first copy and then I edited it and re=typed it for him. I don't even care. I'm so sick of the work, I"m now helping him to make our home life easier! <BR/><BR/>I just want to crawl into a hole and cover myself! It's been an awful few months. <BR/><BR/>I have to call the school today and find out what we can do about Katie's unfinished work before the exams. I'm hoping she'll be well enough to do exams on the 19th! Then she has a few days off. Brutal! <BR/><BR/>So... we may join you in Mexico and you can teach my kidlets too!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792089792729450340noreply@blogger.com
