So my loved one is an addit!

No one plans on their loved one becoming an addict?  It just happens somehow, somewhere out of the blue for some and by genetic default for others. Even though we can understand that our loved one who have become addicts are struggling with issues that they can't handle alone, but the human side of us still have the whys, whens, and hows that invade our thoughts and sway our emotions to deal with.  The constant questions of why can't they just stop using.  When is enough going to be enough? How could they do this if they loved us? Addiction comes with many faces it could present as prescription drugs, street drugs,  or alcohol and in many cases all the above. The Problem is as they struggle so do their loved ones, spouses, children, parents, and even friends.

A day in Que's world ! (Homeschool / working mom)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WORKING HOMESCHOOL MOM So life is crazy enough just trying to homeschool throw a job in the mix and the fun really starts... LOL  So I thought it would be interesting to give everyone a peek into this craziness I call life.  So I will be sharing what a typical school day looks like for us with my work schedule included. Make sure you customize your schedule to fit your family best. MORNINGS Wake up by 6  – 7 I get up first and wake the children. The kids take a long time to get up.  To help with mornings we lay out everything out at night. I try to also prep for breakfast the night before also.  7-7:45 – We  ge t dressed and are on the road by 7:20.  Monday, Wednesday and Friday breakfast is on the  road and consists of stuff like yogurt/ granola, fruit, pop-tarts ( don't judge I try to buy the all-natural ones). Three days a week I teach at a local private school.  My 5 youngest take classes there and I treat it like a co-op for them and me!   

vision boards

A homeschool vision board is the same as a personal vision board.  The main difference between a personal vision board and a homeschool board is it will be about the vision you have for each of your children and the vision you have for your school. A  vision board  is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a  vision board  is any sort of  board  on which you display images that represent whatever you want to work on, goals for each of your children, your self, or things you want for your school. The human imagination is powerful, but it works like a muscle. For most of us, that power remains potential power and it's never fully utilized. A vision board allows you to  exercise  your imagination regularly, creating a more vivid vision of your ideal homeschool life as you develop your ability to make your visions, tangible and the benefits attainable. You'll need: a posterboard, cork board or small canvas. a s
