Interpreting

So today was one of my interpreting classes, Adv. Voice to Sign. Our class now has a quiz coming up next week.... I'm running in fear!! AAAAHHHH!! I need to interpret F.D.R.'s "A Day That Will Live In Infamy..." speech. I am not ready for this at all. I think I'll do alright with the right amount of practice and research. Prayers are needed... go ahead and send them my way....

When I was in class today I was talking to one of my classmates about schedules and kids. She made a comment saying, "Wait till your kids are in grade school." I told her that I decided to homeschool my kids and the looks on her and the girl next to her were of unbelief. Such negative reactions to my one comment. I found myself trying to explain to them why and trying to justify myself. Now that I think of it.. I'll always be trying to explain and justify my decision to other people, when I really don't need to.

Why do people think that homeschooling people will be cut off from the world?? I mean I'm not going to put my boys in a box and hide them under the bed for all eternity... (Although that does sound like a good idea... hehe) But really?!?! I think my kids have more friends in the homeschooling network than in regular school. Not only that they have a wide variety of friends of different backgrounds and beliefs. They have more exposure to how the real world works... Like I said before I'm sick of confoming to this world since I'm not of this world. (*signs* PA-SHA)

I was thinking... maybe I'll take my little boys to the movies tomorrow. Jay has no school and we wouldn't be doing much at home anyways, (beside FUN chores *ick*). The dollar theater would be open. I forgot about the option of going there till some one in my yahoo group posted that she was going today. Obviously I'm a little late for today, with it being 10:40pm right now. Too bad I didn't check my email sooner.
