Does anyone else have to log in every time they get on here? If not, how do I fix it?
log in and select the save password. or just give us your passwords. and SS#, mothers maiden name and your favorite sport. OH wait, I just need the street you grew up on. I've got the rest. 😉

@Nor'easter Reefer
did you see the news this weekend on the ball fields getting shutdown due to threats?
this is just getting exhausting.
I did not. I cant say i'm surprised though... we get some many scares and then it always ends up being false alarms. Did you hear abiut the one in old town last fall? Sent the wife home from work and shut down half the town. Just a random made up threat from who knows where.

I'm gonna home school my kids at this rate..

Haha so true! Once you realize that they lightly suk and are expensive, you just quit buying them lol

The goal is to get ny masters this summer, then momma can stay home. Maybe. Im pretty sure our church has a home schooling uhm.. support group? Collective? Idk. Bunch of home school parents that support each other and do field trip type things together etc. So, clocks starts now, i got a 2.5 year old growing quick. He can already count to 12, knows all the colors, knows like 8 different dinosaurs by name, and can tell you most every animal name and make their call, and knows what most every fish at petco is called 🤣

something important is make sure they know your first and last name. Officer....I'm lost. What's your father's name....Dad! 😳 So let them call you by your first name.
I know someone that is home schooling. it's complicated and I have no idea how she really does it. she works remotely and home schools from three different countries in 3 languages.

My son learned his full name the other day, and his middle is my name so hes Oliver Michael C. I'm daddy Michael C, my wife's Mommy Michael C, my dad's Grampy Michael C(hes a senior, so thats also correct) my step moms Grammy Michael C right now 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I geuss if you can get the schedule right, its not terrible, and if you have a group that you can lean on it makes it much easier. Idk. We'll find out. My wife's a director at the local YMCA so we get everything YMCA related free. Including child care. She's also salary and they are super flexible. So its possible to also just send the boys there all day, head home after lunch time, do some studying, go outside while mom finishes up on a computer, and call it a day. I dunno. Letting him go play with friends makes his day way better usually
