Frustration!!!

I cannot even begin to share my frustration right now. There are so many things not running smoothly in my life. First, my hubby's truck still has not been returned to us. Back story, my hubby's truck caught on fire inside last summer do to a mouse eating some electrical wires. The mechanic person that fixed it did not fix everything correctly. Such as the door locks that had worked fine before the fire no longer worked, and several other small things. So we took it back to the mechanic to fix the problems. That was a month and a week ago!! I just made another truck payment on a truck we do not have to drive. I mean he had it last year for 4 months fixing it and now another month without the truck. Frustrating!!!

Yesterday I face yet another frustration, our homeschool curriculum. For the most part I have been satisfied with my curriculum choices. My main area of stress has come in science. It is so hard to find a good science text that is secular. I believe science is science and religion is religion. They are not to be taught together. Thus I have reached my limit on trying to weed out all the religious info in my son's science text. Apologia does a good job with most concepts, as in keeping to the scientific issues. But I was so disappointed in the chapters on fossils, one of T's favorite subject. I guess from one view you could say they did offer an explanation of both views of fossils, the age of the earth, etc. But it was very heavy on the religious side. I ended up throwing out so many questions from the test I almost just said forget it no test on this module. Next year I will find a science book to fit into our needs and beliefs. In fact I am looking into whole curriculum's.

Finally, my biggest frustration has been with waiting. We are still waiting to hear whether we are going to close on the house or not. After three weeks, two of which were wasted dealing with a loan officer that was totally incompetent I am hoping to hear something today or tomorrow. I just want to know, yes or no! Then I can move on.

Sorry this has not been the best blog entry. Not uplifting or positive, but some days you just need to vent.
