THE GREAT UNKNOWN

So just in order to leave .....and begin our journey of traveling the country
with the 5 of us staying in hotels...and homeschooling..(ha ha ..i know)..
we are awaiting a replacement for my husband Matt's
Wyoming based job...
So while exact dates are still up in the air...
It is a certain thing that we are leaving.
The house will be up for sale in the next 2 weeks.
The packing has begun...
We will store a lot of our things in the basement of Matt's parents' home.
(which we will call home after our house sells...at least for a little while)
But we will also be leaving the home fully staged for the buyers!
We have renters in our basement apartment on opposite
shifts of eachother so there will be a
constant vigil on our house....
(which i am only stating because i know some of my friends
would love to see me off and scurry in to carry my famous treasures away) j/k
....one stage of the sacrificing has however begun.....
Instead of Mekenzie attending all day public school until Sept. 21st......
This mother was "helped" into an earlier date of Homeschooling than origionally planned for.
This due to the possible lack of communication.
You see, i recieved a phone call tuesday asking me why i brought the school a request
for release of my child for homeschooling and then sent her to school the next day.
Well.... i had thought that i was merely getting a possibly long process started.
Little did i know they were erasing her from their data base the very moment i left the school.
( though i left with the understanding that the office would call me and let me know what i further needed to complete the process. Noone asked me a reason or a date.)
So back to the phonecall....The woman told me i needed to pick up my daughter
immediately. Because she was no longer welcome on school grounds as she was no longer registered there. her tone was a : "like duh" sort of tone.
and then this blog, i have decided to keep, popped into my head.
So....I obviously handled this 'tiny' oversight with all the Grace that my little
body could conjour up.
Afterall.....Lemons to lemonade girls!

  3. Rachelle, some days you will say to yourself,"why me, I am a good person, why am I having these trials" You are doing a good thing to try and make the best possible situation for your children. They will look at you and Matt and say you are so strong, and you are wonderful parents. You will get through this.
