Speaking of my boys, they are so hyper today. Jeremy is totally out of control. Right now, he is pretending to be a Transformer and won't answer to his name. He hasn't even seen the movie. I am trying to get him to focus on his school work but that isn't working very well.
Andrew is actually doing his school work really well right now. I think the key to getting him to do it is for him to sit right next to me. He doesn't even need me to help him, but sitting next to him is helping him concentrate. I can scrap or do whatever else I need to do as long as I am right there. He has always struggled with his school work. He just doesn't like to be still and to focus on something. He has to always be moving. I'm sure he would be in trouble all the time if he were to be in public school. I am so grateful I have this chance to homeschool my kids.
Rachael is in her room doing her school work. I'm not even sure what she is doing. She finished her math and I told her to either start her biology or do her reading assignment or do creative writing. She is so independent that I now she will get all of that done with very little help from me. I usually go over her biology with her so I know she understood it. She is also going to have to do another research project. Last time, she did a biography paper on Savion Glover (he is a tap dancer if you didn't know). I told her to pick either a career or something scientific. It is always interesting what she comes up with.
This afternoon, I have an appointment with my pain specialist. I think we finally have the right combinations of medications that my pain is under control. The doctor I saw in Houston wants me to change things around, but I'm not sure I want to do that if things are working. I will see what my pain specialist thinks. After my appointment, I am going to stop at the scrapbook store. There is a book I really want about digital designing. It is by Renee Pearsons. I am hoping that I can do all the stuff with Photshop Elements. I may have to research alternate ways of doing things. I am planning to upgrade to version 5.0 as soon as we can afford it and I think that will help. I am currently using 3.0.
