So, the homeschooling thing is taking a back seat for now. Turns out my son qualifies for some special education services from the school for emotional behaviors and was also accepted into the Gifted and Talented program.

The roommate and her kids left and my house has returned to a bit of normalcy... outside of the usual sibling squabbling, of course. My bed is now mine again although I typically wake up to a child who managed to sneak under the covers in the middle of night. The hardest part is realizing this when I take an unexpected elbow to the face!

This post is all over the place... but so is my mind right now. Guess I'll try to write later.
