@Wildfire: you're definitely right on all accounts. I sat and thought a lot about it last night.
I'm just now getting my foot in the door with the homeschooling community. Next week I got day-time stuff lined up for my son. I'll be able to chit-chat with other local moms and see what other groups/programs they do.
I realized last night, that I have taught my daughter to not gossip much unless it's something that really got under her skin. I don't really tolerate drama. :o This situation just tells me my daughter acknowledges that about our relationship.
good Morning. I got my coffee and I'm likely going to jump into a video game soon.
