Hey there, Folks! It’s been a minute but
school started back the other day and my life is slowly going to get back to
normal in the next week or so. Boy, do I have much to share so let’s hop right
to it.
Friday
With school right around the corner, my
girlfriend Angela and I took our sons to Six Flags for one last bash before
school started. My brothers – the best uncles in the world – joined us for the
day and
Saturday
While most people were sleeping in, I was up
bright and early to attend the Southeast Homeschool Expo at Cobb Galleria. I’ve
been meaning to attend this event for the last two years, but every year,
something would come up and I would miss it. But not this year; I wasn’t going
to let anything stop me and I’m glad I didn’t. What an amazing event! If you
are a teacher, a homeschooling parent, a tutor, etc – this expo is for you. Not
only did I get to speak directly with some of the vendors but I also sat in on
math and spelling demos. Ya’ll, I learned so much that day. If I ever
questioned or wondered if homeschooling was for us, this solidified it. The
other thing I loved about the event was how many parents of color were in
attendance. There are more families homeschooling than we think, but there is
still a lot of work to be done on educating people on what it means to
homeschool. Anyway, it was great and I can’t wait to do a deep dive on why we
chose to homeschool and what the future looks like.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Jason of
Ben the Rooster and can’t wait to share some great info with you about Jason
(and Ben!) for the upcoming holiday season.
Sunday
After a busy day at the Expo, all I wanted to
do on Sunday was sleep but that was out of the question because the kiddo had
his Level 1 swim test and we couldn’t miss that. My dad joined us as we watched
him practice everything he’s learned so far with back and stomach floating,
proper swimming technique and diving. He was too scared to jump off the diving
board and pretty bummed with himself about it, but I reminded him that its ok
and at least he tried. When it was all said, and done, he passed the level and
is now on to Level 2. I spent the rest of Sunday afternoon taking a 4 (!) hour
nap and woke up just in time to cook dinner and get ready for Game of Thrones.
Can I just say the meeting of Jon Snow and Dany has been the highlight for me?
I can’t wait until everyone is reunited.
