What a treat and a joy to see all you posters from the "old days" come out of the woodwork. It is so funny how I feel like I know so many of you, even though I wouldn't recognize you if you walked into my living room and sat down!
I've had not so much luck in the new love department. Went out three times with a nice man who seemed to like me, but really we have nothing in common and I couldn't see it going anywhere.
S and I had a very nice summer, travel wise. We took a Rhine River cruise and spent a couple of extra days in Amsterdam. Tra la la, I do love to travel.
School starts again for me week after next.
S16 is going to be homeschooled this semester. For a variety of reasons. I've done this before and worked full time, but he was a lot younger (and so was I!) The good part is as a homeschooler he is allowed to enroll in some of the community college courses. Oddly enough, I predict he'll do better in the CC than in the public high school. The lucky child, he is enrolled in an acrylic painting class that is capped at four students--it's like having private lessons for 16 weeks.
So I am giving myself pep talks about how much energy I can muster, and saying my "one semester at a time" mantra. For purposes of maintaining our mutual health, we won't be tackling math this semester. Merely English, AmHistory, Economics and Science!
In the meantime, I've learned that X and his new wife have bought a condo over here in the beach area. This brought up some sh** that I didn't expect, and I can't say I'm responding well. At the risk of sounding childish, I wish they'd stay the he** out of my county!!! I learned this from S16 of course, any takers on if or when X will actually tell me?
Anyway, that felt good to get it out.
Wish us luck in the homeschooling. I'm going to read threads and see if I can learn about some of the newbies.
