Sarah Palin video ( Awesome)

Voicing my opinion!!!

This is my blog so I basically feel I have the right to say what I want. Recently I have seen a few posts on different HSing sites- That are totally bashing Sarah Palin!!! I am not here to bash Senator Obama, but I do feel that McCain and Palin are out for the best interest of this nation.
As I sat in the hospital last night and watched the Convention at 2 am, Gulliani gave a wonderful speech, and Sarah Palin is very qualified for the VP job I feel. Look at her credentials.
I can't believe though at the nasty remarks Homeschooling Mom's are making about Sarah Palin's daughter and how she can't be a VP . Well first of all we try to raise our children the best we can, when they get at certain age they make their own choices!!! Im not saying they are the best choices, neither do I agree to allow your children to have *safe sex*, but we have to let them live by the decisions they make.
As a Mom, I have 2 daughter's of my own who are single Mom's, but I wouldn't throw them away or my grandson's!!! But I don't approve of them having sex, but one thing I will say, thank God they chose to keep their babies and didn't abort them. Bristol Palin has chose to keep her baby, and not abort her baby. She is taking responsibility for her actions. Give her credit!!!
The liberals, are for abortion, infantcide , gay marriages, etc. If we want change, we will get it, as in the Bible they wanted a king- they got them and if they we're evil the people we're the same, if they we're good the people we're basically good. So we need to pray and seek God and ask him for the right president. We also need to pray for all those involved- Palin, McCain, Obama & Biden.


If my people who are called by my name, will humble yourselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.

Taking some time off

I miss posting on my blog, but I had to take some time off due to my oldest dd had her tonsils out last week, so we have had a lott to do around here and getting my homeschooling books together to start school.
We spent all night in the hospital with Ash my oldest dd, she was severely dehydrated and was having some breathing problems, so we got home around 7 am and boy am I tired. I did get to stay up and watch the Republican Convention- Yippee!!!

Homeschooling Rocks!!!

This speaks for itself!!!

In 1919 Soviet State education was made compulsory - homeschooling was abolished.

In 1938 Hitler abolished homeschooling in Nazi Germany.

In 1959 Communist China abolished homeschooling: "All children who have reached the age of six shall enroll in school and receive compulsory education for the prescribed number of years, regardless of sex, nationality or race." Mao Tse-tung



FOLLOW THEIR LEAD -
SUPPORT THE ABOLITION OF HOMESCHOOLING!

Got your attention? In the US homeschooling is legal in all 50 States. This is a wonderful ratification of the natural rights of parents to educate their own children, recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court. But protecting this right requires vigilance. Tyrants and wannabe-dictators always want all children indoctrinated in their own versions of political correctness. Efforts to restrict or prohibit home education inevitably arise from the same - totalitarian - mentality of forced indoctrination in whatever modern version of political correctness is dominant. Don't take it for granted -support the freedom to homeschool - or someday you might not be able to do so.

Homeschool Memoirs

I saw this on Jaque's site, Walking Therein and thought it would be nice to meet other Homeschooling Mom's.....

A little about me, my name is Robyn and Im an 40 something old Mom, with 7 children. We have 3 boys- Christopher 26, Zachary 12, Noah Seth 10 and 4 girls- Ashleigh 24, Brittany 20, Natasha 16, Michalea 11. We live in Georgia with all of our children and 2 grandsons, on 14 acres with 4 cats, 3 dogs and a partriage in a pear tree :0) I began homeschooling 21 yrs ago when I was pregnant with my 3rd child, my reason for homeschooling was because my oldest son was in public school and he spent 2 yrs in K5 due to he has a learning disabilty. He has ADD, CAPD ( central auditory processing disorder) and he had allergies so bad he spent a lott of time in the hospital. He was the closest thing to the boy in the bubble he had no immunities to fight infections.
I met a wonderful family who homeschooled, they invited me to their homeschool meeting at their home, before then I met with Stan and his wife Lily ( whom I am still good friends with) and they began telling me about HSing and I felt I could'nt do it....then I began praying about it...and day after day after picking up my son from school and he handed me his unhappy face sticker each day, I went to the teacher and I asked if he was misbehaving and she said no, he is like a space cadet and he isnt learning....Hmmmm, so I began to talk to hubby about it and we decided to homeschool our 2 oldest children. But it didn't go over too well with my MIL, she was totally against it. My parents we're okay with it.
Well I began using curriculum that was way overwhelming for my son, so I got hooked up with FDLRS in Florida ( Where I lived at the time) and the lady there let me check out everything I could on LD, manipulatives, videos, curriculum, and I lived at the library and studied all I could on learning diabilities. Thank God for Mrs> Pam at FDLRS, I did'nt have computer access at the time so I had to wing it.
I remember sitting on the floor crying because I wanted to help my son but just felt like a failure, so I cried out to the Lord and told him- " If you want me to do this , you have to help me!" and he did, Im not saying it was easy but he provided me the help I needed and helped me to understand about learning challenges. I give all the Glory to God! Now I am able to help those Mom's who have children with learning challenges to homeschool and to encourage them , YOU CAN DO IT!!!
My 11 yr old dd, has autism and my 10 yr old ds has dyslexia. I now just go to the Lord and get his guidance on what to do....Im not saying at all Im super HS MOM, Im not, but God's grace and mercy has helped me to help my children learn the way God wired them. He will not give you any more than you can handle. I am so thankful I obeyed the Lord to HS my children, I would'nt trade a minute to have all the riches in the world. My oldest daughter is now in nursing school and will gradute next year, my other dd is in college and my 16 yr old is going to be dual enrolling this year.
Im thankful for a husband who allowed me to homeschool, and to put their education first. I make up my own curriculum, I am a Charlotte Mason fanatic!!! Now we have 2 grandson's we are helping to raise and I plan to help them learn too, they are already learning from my children while I homeschool them. We are in a crucial time in our nation , so embrace your right to homeschool your children, I dont know what the future holds for us...Just trust in the Lord!!!
