....and paper and binders and laundry! LOL
I've been neglecting my blog, but for good reasons I promise! I have several writing projects going along with planning my homeschooling year. Public schools use an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for special needs kids to plan goals, track progress, etc; I'm creating an IHELP (Individual Home Education for Life Plan). It will be similar to an IEP, but customized to homeschooling (if you're interested in more info contact me). It's a very time consuming process, but necessary for me to keep track of everything.
Every year for Christmas my parents give my siblings and I (I have four), a "weekend away." Meaning they babysit for us. Since I'm broke, I decided to take mine in my parent's camper, parked in their backyard. LOL I know it sounds strange and everyone in my family had a laugh about it, but I got a large amount of writing done so I'm happy.
With the financial situations my family is going through right now, I'm trying to focus more attention on starting my freelance writing career. Unfortunately I'm a painfully slow writer. :D
I really want to help my family though, and I'm hoping to start a 2nd shift, part-time job next month. It will last only through the first week on January, but it'll be enough money for my kids and I to get an apartment. I figure it'll help my parent's if my kids and I become more independent. My parents aren't to fond of the idea though.
What I want to do, is move to the town my son's therapy is located, which is about an hour drive away. The major problem with this plan though is, right now, I share a vehicle with my mom. With a very tiny income and bad credit I'm afraid buying something is impossible. Especially considering the cost of wheelchair accessible vans.
But, on the upside; I am doing good with my eating and exercising again. Today I tried taking my kids to the gym in the afternoon instead of waiting until after they go to bed. They had no problem there and my daughter didn't want to leave (that's a good sign). So, I think from now on, I'll exercise in the afternoon and write in the evening. Theoretically, that means I'll be posting more often now!

Good thinking
You are a very good human being. That is very good to think about the children and your parents. As it reflects IPLAN is a very good plan for needy students. Keep it up.
Well thank you; I just would like to be able to pay them back for all the help they have given me. Not very many single moms get to be with their kids everyday and homeschool. My parent's have blessed me and I'd like to do the same for them.
Now if I could only remember where I put my money tree... hmmm
LOL
