I used to work nights, the kids , dog never disturbed me but the hubby shouting “ shush your moms in bed “ however was always guaranteed to wake me up 😂
You will be an amazing teacher for Lucas! There are alot of outside programs to help too! Many ways for him to get interaction with his peers without the fear of what he has been having to endure at school!
Good Morning Jennifer and CS Family!! Jennifer, it’s nice to see the light back in your eyes. Grandma will be proud to see you getting back to what makes you happiest. It’s the best way to honor her. And Thank You for being another ‘FUDGING WHEN NEEDED’ maker as well. Stay Safe and Best of Everything.
Hi Jen ☺️. You got this 😁. I homeschooled all three of my boys for a total of 23 years. My twins graduated at just turning 17 and my youngest graduated at 16. They all have great careers with good pay, live on their own ( all done they were 19/20). The hardest thing I had to learn was the only schedule that I had to follow was our own. We had our school year from mid july- mid April. Do what works best for you ❤.
We home educated for 13 years. Our special needs children flourished and our middle girl now has a Masters Degree. You have got this.
I forgot our drive in movie opened this past weekend. I love that place! It has been opened every summer since the 50’s! Family owned of course. I can go to that theater without a lot of trouble. Now I can go out once in a while!
Watching you has given me so much more confidence and not to worry so much.xx
Hope you get well soon. 🌺
I homeschooled my kids, one with adhd...it helped her so much! It was awesome. You should be able to find homeschool co-ops or groups that go on field trips! I hope this helps little man :)
Homeschooled my daughter from 4th grade onward. She has dyslexia. Nobody ever realized it except me!! She’s 20 now. Best thing I ever did.
Im here for you. You can do this. Creste school for Lucas and not force traditional school on him.
My parents home schooled my brother. They used Calvert. They loved them. I can't remember anything more.
Wishing healing. Can't wait to see the test pattern!
I'm not a home schooler, but I can see how it would be a huge advantage for Lucas. You can do co-op with other home schoolers (my daughter does that with her son, and I've known others who do it). He can get all the socialization he needs in a co-op. I wholeheartedly support your decision. Go Jenn!
That's what I was thinking, too.
When my sister homeschooled, both her girls got involved in spelling bee, sports & art classes.
You are so creative. Whatever he needs, you'll figure it out & make it happen cuz that's how you roll.
So Excited for you and this new adventure. Didn't you say he's already been spinning yarn?
You've been homeschooling -- just didn't realize it. :)
Jennifer! so sorry about your wrist. Hope it heals soon!😘❤
🤗💖🙌 Homeschooling is a wonderful idea! So proud of you Bun!
You keep me laughing smiling the whole nine yards.Keep doing what your doing .Love you my friend.
Cast Iron Skillet - yes yes yes!
Home schooling will be a lot for you all, but such a blessing! You will get to help him grow, watch him grow, and focus on his strengths without the stress of a toxic school environment. I am grateful for Miss Libby, and grateful for your new chapter with him. ❤
Hi Jen, I hope your wrist feels better soon. Prayers and love ❤❤❤
Good morning Jennifer.. hope it's a great day for you and the family today
You have a life and a half! Glad you seem to enjoy it so much!! ❤ I love dahlias too! They’re so colorful. It’s too hot for them here in Georgia.
Sending ❤ and more healing vibes. For your emotional and physical hurts. Homeschool is an excellent idea. No more bullies. Cute hair band btw. Black looks great with purple hair.❤
Yes I have frogged back a shawl with dragonflies. There were fewer dragonflies then I thought there would be and finally I started counting my stitches and and seeing the pattern that doesn't change. Now my project seems comfortable and counted out. I have some Ferris Wheel yarn and I will try The Barbara Ann Shawl tutorial when I finish the dragonfly project. I feel best when working on one project at a time.
Good groups of parental groups that do a great job homeschooling!
Contact the State. They will give youvthe needed information. Good for you and little man. I home schooled my daughter for last two years of high school. I wish I had done it from the beginning. She was bullied by children and staff. It was so sad, and ridiculous. She didn't share until later. Blessings 🕊 💕 🕯 😇 🙏 💚
I homeschooled my son from K-12. He then attended, and graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Mathematics.
I home school my four kids until different grades,and two grandchildren. You can do it. Prayers for your arm have an amazing day 🤗🙌❣️
Homeschooling can involve field trips with other groups even out here in Idaho!
I think it's great that you're going to home school Lucas. I wish I had home schooled my son when he was younger. Don't worry too much about us with your channel, we'll be here when you put up a video. Lucas comes first. ❤ Have an awesome day and rest your wrist. 💗🤗💗
I don’t know if are aware but you can meet other kids that are also being home schooled and can go on trips like a. Group! Best of luck. Mama bear you are and that’s awesome I wish little man the best! AND you. ❤️
I think y’all need a full bottle of real holy water to Chase the gremlins and devil how are your house?😂😂😂😂😂
You are having quite the time lately. I'm glad that you can laugh at some of the things. Hope your arm feels better soon. I crocheted after tendon surgery on my left elbow. I held the crochet hook in the crease of my knee and then did all the other yarn movements with my left hand while sitting with my leg bent to hold that crochet hook tight enough. When I needed more grip on my hook I wrapped the handle in vet wrap, so it would stick to itself, but not leave a residue, and would also be more grippy to stay put in the bent knee crease. I was also able to use an afghan/Tunisian crochet hook held under my arm to crochet.
There are a lot of communities that have a Home School groups where they do group activities, so that kids get that social aspect. This could be great for Little Man. I used to be primarily against home schooling, but now days, I think it's probably the best thing that a parent can do, if they are able to devote the time. I know you already know this, but He will be able to grow his areas of special interest by having you customize his curriculum to include areas of special interest to help him stay interested. It is also so great to be able to allow a kid to have some breaks in the day that are more often than just recess. He will be able to stand and study, sit on the floor, move locations, all the things that allow a kid with ADHD to continue to stretch their focus on the things that they aren't particularly interested in. Also, there are many online school programs that can help fill in any gaps that you might not be as confident in. It's so much better than it used to be and the opportunities are really endless. The really great part is that a family gets to be in control of the curriculum choices. If something isn't working, you get to immediately try a different approach.
I'm so sorry for you & your family's loss of Grandma. I like it a lot that you are celebrating her life by thinking about the good memories. Take care and hugs.
K12 is awesome that's what I used for my children and my 4th daughter home schools all three of her kids and they are so smart that they want to skip her kids up a few grades but she doesn't want to put them through that and they are 12, 10, 6. And then my baby girl is 21 and pregnant with her first and she is going to home school also and k12 is awesome they send u everything and u don't pay for anything and they have field trips for all home school children it is really cool.
I loved homeschooling my son. We had a central program office that had organized group meetings for social stuff. Also, they get to socialize with the community not just kids. We would do math stuff by going to public stores like Home depot to do a plan to redo a room. Or science and math with cooking. Eventually, very little school took place at a desk.
I 'm only into your video a lil bit, and already loving the story about you going to the movie and talking about it as you remember your Grandma.
Hope you feel much better soon, no advice 😊🤣🤣 Love the shawl, the Alison & Mae yarn crocheted up so beautifully 🥳
Thank you! 😊
One time I picked up a big, old heavy TV and heard a pop in my wrist. I had torn 3 ligaments. I went to an orthopedic doctor who gave me a Muenster cast so I would not twist/rotate the hand while it healed.
So good to see you! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Homeschooling is great! I homeschooled my youngest son because of bullies at school. It’s wonderful to decide on a curriculum that you approve of and he enjoys! There are tons of resources online for curriculum…or you can design your own! And homeschooled kids do excellent on college entrance exams. You shoukd go for it! ❤
Thank you for your videos. Today I cried & laughed & cried some more. My momma died on this day 27 years ago and I miss her so very very much. Sending you love, hugs, & prayers, always. ♥️
I could listen to your stories all day❤❤❤ there are home school classes on line. Your arm might have a torn ligamentt,or sprain, or fracture.....eitherway, they would have put a brace on to stable your wrist.. For a whole pile of money.......from my prospective, you did the best thing.
Congratulations on the decision to home school. I think it is a great decision.
I love listening to you and how you deal with medical stuff. I think you are doing what you need to do and listening to your body.
You have a awesome plan. I wish I could have been able to do that for my children. I'm so proud of you for being such a inspiration to me and others. It's never to late to change the direction of your journey in life! Love you Jennifer. Sincerely Janey
We have 2 cast iron skillets at all times
I homeschooled my ADHD son for a year and it took all my time but it helped him - you can do this Jen
Good Morning Jen! I crocheted with a broken wrist, stubbornly. I hold my hook rather like a knife, so no wrist turning. Manipulating the yarn is done mostly with the fingers. Perhaps if you try that, holding the hook from below, you can crochet while healing. Peace and Blessings 🧶🌻🪴
Praying for you and your family fast full recovery
Little Man will definitely benefit from being homeschooled. Check and see if there are any homeschool groups in your area. My cousin's girls got to experience socialization in that type of environment. They did sports and field trips as a group, and they loved it!
You have to do what’s best for your family and little man has been through so much x
You could look into Home Schooling groups in your area. I belive our local library has a program for home school each week.
I tried to grow several varieties of Dahlia's last year, planted 50 bulbs. I was soooo excited. The chickens dug them up and just tore them apart or ate them. Ya never really know with them. 😂 I know you understand how devastating this loss was for me. 😂😂
Hope your wrist feels better soon❤❤❤
I love all your “side bar” conversations!!❤
Second comment…you are doing exactly what your family needs… good on ya!
I did read that you shouldn’t cut back bulb flowers after they bloom because they feed the bulb after they flower, so your bulbs last longer. If you cut them back immediately it can cause the bulb to lose nutrients. Idk if it’s true b/c I read that over 20 years ago.
Well good thing i leave them
You are cracking me up with these stories!!! I hop you get better with your arm., or wrist. Lol man is a good gentleman.
I think you'll do great at home schooling. I home schooled 3 of my kids and they are all great successful adults.
I was homeschooled until highschool. See if you can find a homeschool co-op in your area. That way he can still do things with other kids. I can get info for you if you need more. I grew up just outside of Culpeper VA. So, I can get info for Fredericksburg.
Good Morning 🤗. It’s 7:30 AM and after listening to your weekend, I’m exhausted 😓 Your yard sounds so pretty, you should show us in one of your videos. Home schooling is a huge step for you. I wish you the best. Hope your wrist heals without the Dr!! No wonder you want to home school, that’s bizarre about the teachers in your district!! I really enjoyed this video🥰
🎉❤Mom of the Year award! The way you love and raise your children brings joy to my heart. I worked for the school system for 20 years, and I saw it all. Many times, it was heart-wrenching. I totally agree that if you can home school, that is great. I hope your wrist heals quickly. But the story about gardening and your family watching was too funny. Have a restful evening ❤
I am a retired elementary teacher and it breaks my heart that you and Little Man have had the experiences you had at school. I am also the mother of a special needs child (extreme ADHd and behavioral issues). i feel your pain. Home schooling may be the very best you can do for your child. There are so many issues that public education has to deal with and lack of support from admin is top on the list. I wish you all the best. I have family in CA that home schooled and it was very successful. My suggestion is get the best curriculum you can to make sure there are no gaps in learning. (I once had a former home schooled kiddo that told us that he didn’t “do multiplication “. Seriously? He didn’t like it so he was taught 😮it. ) Good luck and keep on loving on your sweet boy.
Go to the doctor. I fell and thought I sprained my wrist, 6 weeks later it's still hurting went to the dr. and it is broke. I get my cask off June 3rd. Go to the Dr. Love ya.
So sad to hear that, I had high school friends who did homeschooling and were still able to attend our school functions. That way they were able to keep up with social development with the rest of us.
I broke my elbow 2 weeks ago, I’m not casted, because it will heal. That was urgent care at my orthopedic clinic. I saw the x-ray, but after spending last summer in sling for rotator cuff surgery, just not doing it. Pain is manageable with Tylenol.
Sending hugs to you. Your grandma sounds like mine. I was blessed to have basically been raised by her till she passed when I was 13. I miss and think of her daily because she taught me everything from cooking, reading, Crochet, sewing, embroidery, and how to be crafty with almost everything. All the memories of our loved ones keep them with us always. I have several health issues as well mostly due to having ms so I can totally understand the struggles. Sam shouted you out and I subscribed and already love following you. Keep being amazing.
Ella from No Catchy Name. Has been home schooling her son for a few years. I know that he's younger than Lucas but she may be able to offer you some info on where to start. Good luck Mama. 💕 I wish my Daughter would let me home school the Grandkids.
Hi, do hope your wrist heals quickly for you. The shawl is going to be beautiful. 🧶🫂❤️
Good morning Jennifer! 🧶☕❤
Good morning!
I was just about to comment if it's not the people making noise it's the dogs in our house and in walked yours 😂 . Our dogs always want to see what's going on! I always fudge and change things up. It is so much less stressful!!!
Good morning Jennifer so sorry you hurt your wrist hope it heal perfectly in your brace. 🫂 Little man comes first it is a great idea to homeschool him and you can go on field trips and he can talk to other kids that are doing homeschool online and become friends with them. Perhaps a police officer would come to your home and do the dare program for him there or you could bring him to maybe the police station and they can do it there. I love MJ’s off the hooks Designs. She is awesome. I have her kit the Granny Pop Cardigan that I have not started yet I have so many WIP’s to finish before that. Sending you all my healing thoughts and prayers. 💜
Dear Jennifer, You are such an Amazing woman. When you told us that you are going to Home School your son next year I started to cry. You made the right decision. And you have a great home base as back up! Sorry about your wrist( hope it heals quickly & completely).
My Love & prayers to your Whole family. I have added you & your family to my nightly prayers. I figured that everyone can use a nice prayer every once in a while. Blessings.
Your child comes first we will be here for you .
Beautiful Shay ❤ it!
I work in a Jr high and had a teacher tell me if you can get your child to like reading, and learn math. He will succeed cause he took the time to read and understand what was going on. Kids are like sponges they remember what the read and like. Lil Man will thrive and learn and succeed in life. He's a smart kid with good parents who will help him..
I think home schoolers get together to socialize so the kids can make friends. Check into it
Good for you 😊I home school my 13 year old we just finished her first full year and she luvs it and nobody bullies her. and she gets to have her doggies with her during her classes and she is the happiest she has ever been . I applaud 👏🏼 you.
My grandson has homeschooled his whole school life and he just graduated. He did the Florida online school. He made a 95/99 on the ASVAB military entrance test, so homeschool was good for him. He is leaving soon for basic training in the Navy. You can do this and so can Lucas.
BRAVO 👏 I'm so happy that you are looking into home school! I didn't do it, but I think it's the perfect solution for Little Man! Good luck, and God bless you. Look into home schooling co-ops, I'm sure there is a group near you. I can't tell you how happy I am for both of you!
I am attending 50th high school reunion In September! Lotsa years I spent 300 out of 365 days crying for one reason or other, so I gotcha!
I truly believe home schooling is a great thing and you will be great at it.
Hopefully things will all work out soon.🙂 That new shawl ur making is very pretty 🙂 have a good day, enjoy ur mail.
Good morning hope today is warm and happy day ahead, stay tough and strong. Love to all.
You make me laugh 🤣 so true, everyone gets loud trying to be quiet 🤫 😂I believe you will do awesome teaching your son at home cause you have what it takes and some 🙏🏻🫶🩵💜🌈
Dahlias
like afternoon sun! 🌞make the rhodo into a lollipop tree! After several hundred sprains strains n twisting body parts might I suggest Burrows solution to you. Call the pharmacy n ask them first if they have it. Soak in one part n 3 parts water to take the swelling out. Its old school stuff! ❤❤
That is the best decision, you will have all our support, yes Home School will be successful.
I understand the pile on of medical bills with an injury 🫤.
I have a rotator cuff tear and partial deltoid detached and floating around in my arm, plus 2 bone spurs. I had an X-ray, then MRI with all the co-pays 😢. Surgery was scheduled then we went to the hospital for pre admission labs, and paperwork, right at the end they tell me my co-pay is $5,000.00, but they will give me a 10% discount if I pay in full right then and there 😮!!! Needless to say, I still have a rotator cuff tear and all the rest ‼️And that’s the second surgery I need but can’t get.
Let me tell you getting old is for the birds ‼️ My “Golden “ years have gone to rust🤦🏼♀️‼️‼️
Best of luck on your homeschool ventures. I adore how hard you work for your son and your compassion and understanding around his adhd. Every neurodivergent kid needs a mom like that.
I was homeschooled for awhile in HS because like a lot of undiagnosed autistic women school was so easy until suddenly it was a nightmare. Make sure you know what the laws are where you’re at but my other HUGE caution (especially if you think you might be doing it through HS) would be if you go with any sort of system make sure to vet them well. I think it’s gotten a lot better for homeschoolers anyhow and there’s much more legitimacy to online anything but while I did on and off try going back to regular school then did my ged early and was doing community college which made this thankfully much less of a big deal since many universities don’t care anymore about a HS transcript if you have enough college credits.
But some of the bigger nicer schools still required them and I had a heck of a time because I’d done 9th grade through some thing where I had books and workbooks and my mom reported grades to some “umbrella school” so it appeared it would add an extra layer of legitimacy and if I’d finished out the claim was a real HS diploma. Well. That whole school and program had folded and could not be found. Then I had also in part of 10th grade done what was a very early version of an online HS and similar ordeal. I think we eventually were able to call around and get a transcript but they’d folded as well. So I don’t know what it’s like out there now. Twenty years later. But transcripts obviously don’t even matter until HS and I have a suspicion there’s still programs and people taking advantage of new homeschoolers or this idea of look we’ll make it easy and more legitimate appearing and it’s entirely a waste of money. Keep really good records yourself. Because especially for just getting back into public school should you decide to- my experience was that they basically listened to what we told them we had done and no formal anything was required (I went back and forth in this way twice, though to a private school the second time around).
And keep him active in activities and connected with other kids. I have to say regardless of what many parents will claim a sizeable percentage of homeschooled kids (tends to be worse by far with the religious homeschoolers) will openly admit they lack social skills and don’t know how to interact with peers well or make friends. And as a neurodivergent kid homeschooling for mental health stuff it was not good for me. But my mom also was just entirely disengaged anyhow. I did any work I did in weird spurts where I’d knock out a semester or something in a week and just screwed around reading books and online. But I really should’ve had more things to do with myself.
I think the rhododendron has it OUT for you sister! 😝It's caused too many accidents already! I'm glad you gave it a good whoopin'/trimmin'! 🤣🤣 I've heard those cracks, too. It'll be okay, just be still and crochet! 🤭 Doctor's orders! 😊👍🧶
Hope your wrist heals soon. I completely understand how all those co-pays add up. I know ow you will because you are diligent with your health, but do your research on which type of calcium to take. They absorb differently. I too can focus with background noise, my mind can't focus in silence. What a nightmare school district!
Homeschooling is work but not impossible. I’m a retired teacher and I help look over home school work every year for a friend. Everything you do beginning the day he finishes school counts towards next year. Your California trip counts for history and geography if you want it to. Interstate highways were created to move military equipment, California became a state when, Spanish missions, even your grandfather having served in the military, it all counts as education. Think outside the box, even his spinning counts as history and art. Get creative and keep a notebook about everything. Also co-ops and some private Christian schools often offer opportunities for homeschoolers to participate in some things. Like an algebra class. Also community colleges have non credit classes for some things like pickle ball or music. Let your mind get creative and document everything. Even a trip to the James river can count. Flexible schedules are fine. Gardening and photography counts. Enjoy your time with him and have fun with this. Ultimately he will benefit from time with you.
You got this ! God got your back and little man will be happier and yes there are things he miss out on . But there a lot you can do. Talk to llama mamma about home schooling.
So glad you are home schooling Lucas. Now that both of my kids are out of high school,(I have a new HS grad!) there's a teeny tiny part of me that wishes I homeschooled them. They're adults now, have their own lives and I missed out on so many bonding experiences with them. They are such great kids and i wish i had more time. Enjoy it, Jen! You're gonna do great!
So good to see you! Sorry for your injuries and Calcium is a good idea and wonderful that you are thinking of home schooling
Gosh, so sorry about your wrist. Hope it heals soon!
Hey there! I just wanted to drop in and say you are such a loving mom. As a mom of a child with a disability myself, I have been where you are. I had to find a better school situation for my son at around the age Little Man is. It was hard at the time, but it worked out better than I ever could have imagined. in your research and planning, you will probably find a cohort and those parents will be able to help you through some of the questions you have about homeschooling. As parents, we always question our decisions and fear we are not doing right. but if our choices come from a place of love we can't go wrong.
Education doesn't just happen in a classroom. My grandson who is an electrician got interested in it by helping grandpa run electrical out to the chicken coop. He was 9. Grandson who is an actuary got interested when he was a little kid figuring out percentages for breeding Pokemon. Now he works for a big insurance company figuring out their statistics.
You can do this with little man.
Thanks for sharing your crazy life ! Good luck with homeschooling . I think it will be best for you and Lucas . Sending up healing prayers ! Kayla will be a great resource 😊😊😊😊
Jennifer, Lucas may still be able to participate in the DARE program. Here in Oregon the children are still entitled to participate in school functions as they still live in the district. Just thought I would let you know. You could perhaps see into it. Hope the school year goes well and he is happy.
You will do great teaching Little Man! I homeschooling my children when my twin girls were in 10th grade because of school issues. Another daughter was in Jr. High and our son was in 5th grade. He was hyperactive. He was seated with his desk right next to the teachers desk so she could keep him from disturbing the other children and he said he was the teachers pet! Lol. Teaching him was an experience. He had a hard time staying still so I didn't make him stay still. He would study his spelling by rocking back and forth on the floor singing his spelling words out loud and made A+ on his tests because he had 2 or 3 harder words and he would get them all right. You just have to finger out what is best for them. An experience I am proud of. He became a Telephone Tech and they called him the Super Tech. You can do it Jenn!
❤ you Jen
💜💜💜
Hi Jennifer how are you doing today iam doing fine today thank you for sharing stay safe ❤❤❤
My buddy Chris, graduates this year from home schooling.Best thing his Mom ever did for him. Good for you. ❤😊
Llama Mama Kayla used to homeschool. ❤❤❤❤
Those were so the two people I was going to suggest for the homeschool. That she is absolutely beautiful and it’s not done yet. Love those colors. I’ll be praying for you. Hope you’re having a good day.❤
Oh my, I’m so sorry you’ve hurt your wrist. I’m sure your way of treatment will be just fine for you. You’re a pretty good nurse.
I love the idea of homeschooling Lucas. You will be great at being his teacher. No worries about bullying, that’s the best part. Have fun!
No medical advice, but my husband broke his arm and did the same thing. Bought the brace, wore it for like 6-8 weeks and took Motrin and he was fine thankfully because he has a bone disease. Praying for a speedy recovery for you. I am going to email you about homeschooling. I have done it for over 20 years!
