Back to School

I am in mom mode.  My youngest has started a new school this year for 4th grade.  I pulled him out of school after a rough experience in 2nd grade.  In case you haven’t noticed, I am fairly hardcore.  I am very impatient and am afraid of waiting.  When it comes to my boys, I put myself right out there and get the job done.  So, I withdrew him from school at the end of his 2nd grade year and enrolled him into an online school aka home school.  I was extremely scared of what could happen with this but at the same very excited at what I wanted the results to be.  The rocky experience in 2nd grade was not entirely the school’s fault, but they didn’t help much.

I am ecstatic report, my year of homeschooling was one of the greatest things I could have done for my youngest son.  It wasn’t fun..it wasn’t easy.  But the results are shining now.  His new school is providing us with a much better learning experience.  He definitely has aways to go, but there are no regrets for putting my business on hold and any other sacrifices that were made.  The ease of this school year thus far is just amazing!  Let’s not jinx this.

Obsessed with Sex?

I probably come across as someone who appears to be obsessed with sex.  I truly believe the environment I was raised/educated has caused me to be very interested in sexuality.  Not that I was raised poorly, just catholic.

I am not against religion if it works for you.  I don’t think it worked for me.  I could even venture to say it didn’t work for my entire family considering 3 of us were pregnant out of wedlock forcing one sister to marry at an extremely young age.

The education I recall was not even remotely informative enough to understand sex mentally.  It was a simple ‘don’t do it until marraige’,  ’sex is bad’ and even thinking about it will send you to Hell.

I have been accused of over exposing my children.  I guess I’ll see the difference of what some people think is over exposure and education to the extreme lack that I had.

Not obsessed and definitely not addicted… but wish I was.   :)
