H...Hi Lori - just found your website - wow, Qatar! How can that NOT be exciting? We live in Australia, and are Bible-believing Christians too. We homeschool, but used to public school, so I know a little of your frustration. I guess homeschooling's not allowed there.

If so, it's all worth while. I am glad you have decided to go ahead and go to the doctor too. Don't wait around and be in pain. I have to disagree with you, I think your life IS interesting!Nancy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00890420576437109817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-6692216235668425212009-02-23T05:42:00.000+03:002009-02-23T05:42:00.000+03:00Welcome back to Blogland, Lori! Not a thing wrong ...Welcome back to Blogland, Lori! Not a thing wrong with taking a break when you need it and coming back refreshed. <BR/><BR/>Your kids do sound like they have a ton of homework. My kids never have that amount of homework so please don't assume all schools are that way. Kate spends less than an hour a day, on average, Chris about the same and Trey about 15 minutes. They have plenty of time for downtime and other activities.<BR/><BR/>Get in to the doctor soon, hon! I am going to the Gyn for the first time in years this week and the dentist the week after that. Yay me! <BR/><BR/>xo!Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529722995554495470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388835653201310961.post-44594928274952023082009-02-23T01:01:00.000+03:002009-02-23T01:01:00.000+03:00I am so very, very glad you're back!

Yo...Lori, I'm so glad you are going to the doctor. You will be glad you did. It helps to unload that burden of worry. As far as the homework, I have a couple thoughts...is the homework busy work or are they learning something from it? If you feel it's busy work, can you find out from the teacher what the objective of the homework is? You may want to take a step back from helping too much unless they are truly stuck. This is new to them and it make take them a bit to figure out how to manage it. JMO. We have a guideline of about 10 minutes per grade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
