Welcome to this issue of Home school Hell: Remind Me Again Why This is a Good Idea.
We're on week 2 of a roller-coaster ride that began with an exhilarating Monday of last week climb to the first peak, followed by a tickle-belly drop to the breakdown of my husband's 13 year old car; then the gut-wrenching cork-screw of over-commitment, sleepless nights and blood glucose monitoring; coaxing us back up to the peak of relative productivity for the climactic plunge into the pit of self-pity, self-doubt and the proclamation from Chuck that maybe he should just get a job at the Home Depot and be done with it.

You know, I'm ready to go live with the Amish...or at least in a trailer on 30 acres in some town, population 16, in the middle of Wyoming where we can raise Alpaca and grind our own wheat.
I've barely had time to think of, much less write anything "blog" worthy and I just got the e-mail this morning that registration is now open for the National Write a Novel in a Month contest. So, do I participate in this 30 day virtual orgy of caffeine-overload and carpal tunnel aggravation? Do I attempt it without a prescription for Ritalin? I highly doubt I'll produce the next Pulitzer Prize novel, much less something intelligible. My time would probably be better spent to add this endeavor to my List of Things to Do before I Die, somewhere between: Be Mistaken for Jennifer Aniston and Use the Bathroom without Interruption.
Back to school, BOOOYYYSSS!!!
