Blogging makes me notice and record. I love that! Some scenes and a couple of memories from today…
One
Matthew (Tenth Grade) has an assignment requiring him to identify a deity, a tragedy, and a bad leader from a civilization. He drew…Native Americans. Which is totally cool for the deity–tons!–and a tragedy–the Trail of Tears, HELLO, we live in Georgia. But when it came to the bad leader, he couldn’t find one! There are a ton of lists of great Native American leaders, but not one whisper of criticism of a possibly less-than-stellar Native American leader. Apparently they were all fabulous! His teacher said he should just pick the least good-sounding one. An assignment falls prey to political correctness. Ha.

The college letters have started to pick up for Matthew. Every day brings one or two. Today there were four. Paige (Seventh Grade) eyed the stack of mail on the counter, sighed, and said, “I really just think Matthew should ignore all of that and live at home after he graduates.” Heart, melted.
We got some great news today for my husband’s company. We will be celebrating–can’t really describe it any more than to say it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. We are so grateful.
