Deep breath...

Wow, yep, never ended up posting about the homeschooling thing. I'll try and do that sometime this week when I have more time to think. The past several weeks have been a blur. Our company is holding a conference at the end of May, so in addition to the regular business we have all the things to get sorted out for that. Aaaaand my supervisor was involved in a bad car accident and hasn't been able to come into work because of injuries. That being said, the other "bosses" at work talked me into working an additional 10 hours a week (I was working 20, not it's 30) to help pick up some of the slack. Monday comes and the next thing I know it's Friday again and I wonder what I did during the week other than go to work. Usually the answer is, "not much." So this week I'm planning on taking more time for myself, getting back to the gym (haven't been in two weeks), doing some leisure reading, taking a few walks, etc.

Also on my list for the week (and the following 3) is studying for the GRE in the mornings. I registered for April 12 to take it, but I haven't started studying! Time to get rolling on that. I aslo have an economics test that runs through Tuesday, but I'm planning on taking it Monday evening so the rest of the week should be good to go.

This weekend I went to my parents house in Tooele to relax and just get out of Provo. I love having them close enough that if I need to get out of the school environment I have a place to go. This weekend was a blast spending time with them. I'm much better prepared for the week than I would have been, and even excited to get moving with it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd give a little update. I'll (hopefully) write more later in the week.

Homeschooling Illegal?

A firend of mine showed me this article today: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/03/07/MNJDVF0F1.DTL

I'd love to hear what people have to say about this (Vanessa, Montse, your two bits? if mom gets brave enough and learns how to comment?).

I'll post my two bits tomorrow when I get a chance, but I thought I'd go ahead and post the article for folks to read.
