So I feel like a bit of a heel.
The last thing I wanted to do with this blog is talk about people all the time. But I think that is the best way for ME to understand people...to discuss events relating to them.
I learned today several things. Or maybe I didn't LEARN them, but they sure hit me between the eyes.
Some people, even if they are in a leadership position, are easily led by others. Too easily. Some people are more sensitive than even I am, and that's really saying something. Others get really bitchy and take things out on the wrong people, and yet others - and this is the one that drives me really batty - think the louder they are, the more right it makes them. These are the same people who, if you have genuinely wronged them or hurt them, won't accept or even listen to an apology.
I'm often surprised to see little quirks in people's personalities. Though I must confess it makes me seriously wonder which of those annoying traits I have. All I can do is try to be a sensitive, caring person, and let God do the rest.
Wish I didn't care so much what others think of me.

Who doesnt care?
OK, so I had to become a blogger just so I could comment on this. You know me and how strongly I feel about home schooling.
My oldest granddaughter homeschooled from the time she was born until she was 14. Then, she "self schooled" until she was 16, old enough to get her GED. She immediately enrolled in college and had her associates degree by the time she was 18.
When she was 15, she was working part time for a large law firm and at 16 was working full time for them. (And going to school full time) They were sending her to other offices in Phoenix, Washington DC, and others to work on their computers. One time, she went to DC to teach a lawyer how to use his laptop.
When the firm merged with another law firm, she was in charge of the telephony--getting a new phone system set up to work universally in all the offices in both companies all over the states. In addition, she was involved with setting up the new computer system, so the first day the merger was complete, all computers in the newly formed company would work together seamlessly.
After she received her associates degree, she re-enrolled to earn her bachelors degree. At 19, she qualified to buy a house and at 20, she bought a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2 livingrooms, 1 dining room, 3 floors, full basement, house in a nice part of Blue Springs.
Today, she's still working for the same firm full time plus overtime, (a high stress job) going to school full time and recently married a man who has 4 children, one of whom has cerebral palsy. They have full custody of the children and she spents a lot of personal time with them and cooks dinner after work nearly every night. She is 21 yrs old!
And as far as the proverbial complaint against homeschoolers...now, let's all say it together...SOCIALIZATION!!!!!
The BIGGEST joke among homeschoolers....we just like to introduce this granddaughter. Her social skills are off the chart and she's never been isolated from friends or other people. After they meet her, their mouths are shut up.
Would you like to turn me loose on your father-in-law?
I know your son and would think his grandfather would be extremely proud of him and pleased with how you are doing with him. I know I am.
