Hi ladies, first thank you for the investment you are making in the
lives of these boys. I recently attempted to teach them how to help me
clean the bathrooms and left that grueling experience convinced teachers
will have the most jewels in their crowns
in heaven. I am in awe. I am reaching out to make you aware I fell and
broke both of my wrists last week. I am promising I will continue
reading with the boys, we are working through math facts and word study
words. My lofty goals of healthy food around our
dinner table, daily showers and mostly groomed children remain in tact
despite the challenges of living a busy life with a house full of
children. My signature looks like forgery and if discipline letters were
sent home, forgery has in fact occurred. :) I
am simply letting you know I am winging a lot these days. Sticks and
stones creating spelling words will not be making the cut, nor will
photographs of children laying on their backs using their legs to form
words. I appreciate the attempt to make learning
fun and am enjoying the math games but again, proof of practice will be
arriving in the form of an ugly signature. Please call or email me with
any questions or concerns. Again, thank you for all you do for Ty and
Benjamin. Sherri Baughman
Both teachers were gracious and I am grateful. Plan B involved sticks and stones being used to spell out an unkind response. Sarcasm is my primary language and I have teetered delicately between laughter and tears frequently these last days. Those anxious feelings don't often reflect my more gentle side. No mom has time for something like this but I have been blessed with wonderful friends, understanding families who have found themselves seeking alternative childcare and a pretty great husband who feeds me well. I am no theologian but it appears God said, "rest".
