That sounds exactly like what I tell Ed about going to the store and stuff
, at least I can laugh at myself now when I get home. I enjoy the quiet of home, and sometimes not so quiet depending on what projects we're doing.
That sounds really scary
, how old was he and what caused the accident, if you don't mind me asking? Sounds like he's made a LOT of progress
.
Scott is almost a teen now and doing a LOT better in many ways. I'm really dreading June cause we both have birthdays then
We all celebrated when he finally learned to read when he was 10
. I've home-schooled him, and my girls too, so he got a lot of extra 1 on 1 time
. I also did a lot of research and learned that boys typically read later anyways, it just took him longer than most. He's actually better at Spelling than my youngest girl now, drives her crazy. She has dyslexia but can read really well. He also had to learn constructive ways to "get his anger out" because he would get so very frustrated at time. He still needs to go chop on a tree sometimes but not really often now

Supper tonight is going to be herb baked chicken with Au Gratin potatoes and broccoli an cheese. The chicken is homemade but the rest is boxed, I'm learning new recipes every day and trying to get away from all the processed stuff. Gotta run for a bit and finish cooking supper
in case I don't make it back before your bedtime
I dread birthdays too! I have a "big" one coming up this year
I am glad Scott is doing so much better now. It sounds like it is all due to your awseome parenting! I envy you being able to home school. I always wanted to stay at home with Raymond when he was little but his Dad wouldn't have it. Then I was a single Mom for a long time. I was working when I remarried. So I just continued to do so. Then when Raymond got out of the hospital I just quit my job. I hadn't worked the whole 6 weeks he was hospitalized. It will be 3 years in July and it really works for our family. My hubby works hard to make it possible and we own two rental properties.
Raymond was in a serious ATV accident when he was 12. His skull was crushed from ear to ear. He had a puncture wound in his right temple from a tree branch. I could literally see in to his head. It was horrifying. The surgeon put his head back together with pins and plates and 50 + staples. He removed particles of dirt and leaves from the brain along with small amounts of damaged brain matter. He was in a coma for 20 days and in rehab after wards. Believe it or not, he
was wearing a helmet! THAT is what saved his life. He went off a 60 ft cliff and the ATV bounced off of the helmet and landed in a creek. He was a scrawny 60 pounds if it would have landed on him he would have been crushed. He didn't have a scratch on him! It was just his head. I am very grateful just to still ahve him here, the things I learned today are a bonus.
Your supper sounds great! If you ever have any questions about doing something from scratch just holler. Almost everything I do is from scratch. Also if you ever need a recipe or an idea,
Charmed is the best! She comes up with all kinds of yummy things. I knew I would be busy today so I threw pork chops, rice, cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, onions and beef broth in the crock pot and left it! House smelled great when I got home.
