Wow, Lots of Changes..

I look at my last post lots of things have changed around here. So I will summarize since I want to get back to blogging about homeschooling. I was inspired after attending a homeschool convention last weekend. I need to share all this great info that I have accumulated after 6+ years of homeschooling. You take for granted when you find a great source that everyone else must know about this but I'm surprised to find out just how many don't. Many like me, most of the time, just don't have the free time to set down and go through all this stuff.

So what's been going on?? Well my hubby just started a new job today. He hasn't worked for over 5 and a half months. He wanted to but his new boss just wouldn't work him. Long, terrible story. But it amounted to a person having it in for a group of hard working men since they make more than him and come from a certain area. He decided to just starve them out. Well he succeeded with almost all of them. It cost us everything. We are starting over like it was when my son was two years old, he is now 15. By the time the "boss" decided to let the guys know that he wasn't going to work them, the job market is dry. My hubby must have put in 60 job apps and resumes. He's either too qualified or has nothing. It has totally changed how I feel about America and how our society is today. You don't get to turn you application into a human everything is on a computer, so you are just a number. Arrr, I could go on for hours. We didn't get unemployment because his employer wouldn't give him a letter for it. So we scraped by on less than 1/4 of our income for the last 5 months. The job he got is local, but it pays about 1/4 of what he is use to making a month. But it is all that is available and even to get a job somewhere else we would have to move, and that takes money.

Anywho, I am still homeschooling. This lack of funds has led me to have to look for every cheap, free or nearly free resource I could find. What I hope to do in the coming weeks is share some of these finds and others that I love with you. If you keep up with me you may notice that the items on my curriculum side bar have changed quite a bit. We are drifting more and more into the classical style of education for the most part. It has changed my views on everything.
So hold on tight and enjoy the ride, I plan on posting more. ;)
