Finding His Passion
Reminding myself today that not everyone knows what their passion is when they are seven years old - I was lucky... It's okay if the National Hockey League is CKW's life goal at eight years old!

I meant to write weekly updates... Honest!
I don't know how she does it...
And no, I don't mean Kate Reddy or Sarah Jessica Parker. I mean all the homeschool bloggers who manage to both homeschool their children and update their blogs!
I meant to write weekly updates, so that I would have them to refer to in later years, but time seems to get away from me every single day. Our days have been going well, we've just been super busy with at home lessons, out of home extras, and sports - oh my doG the sports! Swimming, karate, riding, zumba, skating, and hockey, hockey, hockey. Seems CKW has found his religion...

The End of the World As We Know It...
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane...
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs.
...listen to your heart bleed.
Lock him in uniform and book burning...
...this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...
First official homeschool day tomorrow - the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fine!

Off Topic...

Homeschooling Goals
Today, on a forum I frequent, I responded to a question from Melissa with regards to homeschooling goals. Much food for thought in the various responses and, in order to keep these goals front and centre, I've dedicated a new page up top to this specific topic.
