Thnx....I will give it a shot. I was going to check out Meyers, too. Just curious if there was anything closer. I will probably order hatching eggs from members o f BYC. But its nice yo know what's out there.

My experience with Meyers has been stellar so far. Not sure they carry the breed you're looking for, but the chicks I received were robust and healthy. I expected my order to arrive in 2 days, but they got here overnight.

That is good to know and they are much closer than some of the others I have read of.

Wow, is anyone else becoming over-run with busy, Busy, BUSY?
I barely have time to even sit in the back seat of a car and read, text or whatever in a a ride-along. So many places to go and so
many things to do.

At work yes, it is unavoidable. With personal affairs no, not anymore. Simplify and streamline for me. Especially this time of year. More connecting with family and friends, less shopping, cooking, and fretting!

OMG...yes!! Lately I have been trying to find time to set back and read, have quiet cup of tea, or begin my homeschooling projects for my little one. Neither time has seemed to come about, or when it does I have to rush it, or put it off and try another day. With my boys being in so much and my husband and I trying too keep up with Church/Organizational activities we find little time to relax. I believe this season has brought more chaos into our lives.

Here's where we have another one in common. I homeschooled my son, here is where we depart from common, I homeschooled him from 2nd grade to When I sent him offf to college for an Associates Degree and then the service, where they sent him back home completely disabled, completely, My husband and I share in taking care of him. Some days are better than others.

I am thinking of taking my oldest out of second grade to homeschool, but he has learning disabilities where I would possibly need extra help. And his services would go back to costing us $800/more. In school he gets them through the educational system and gets a team at Kennedy Krieger Institute. What happened to your son saddens me. God bless you and your husband. Your son was doing his job.

Call Easter Seals and ask for suggestions. It is possible to homeschool a child no matter their age or grade and receive assistance from the Government in schooling them at home. It is actually better for the student and cheaper for the Authorities to pay someone to assist homeschoolers. Go to your local community college to see what is there. Go to the largest library you can comfortably drive to and talk with the reference librarian. Talk to the school board and see what they have available for you and yours. Talk to the Governor's Office of Non-Public Education and see what they have to offer. Call up Rural Health Office. There are many agencies that criss cross into eachothers territory. It is possible to get a private school education on a public school budget as a homeschooler, that is paid for with your tax dollars and is available to you if only The Authorities did not make it so difficult to know about. And always, Go online and get it out there your situation to the homeschool network. Amazingly you just may hear from people from around the world with suggestions or contacts. But please start with the Governor's Office of Non-Public Education and hit up the local Community College for information. Easter Seals may know of someone just like YOU and might even pass on your name and number to them for you.
