    Update: Apparently DS7 can fully function on benadryl. After I called it quits for the day and went off to find my quiet place, I found him quietly creating his own super hero card game. It was extremely detail-oriented with each card having 2 super hero powers. The object is each player turns over 2 cards and you battle each other's superhero powers (example one has fire one has H2O so the H2O hero wins) (think the classic game of war). So 3 hours later he is still working tediously on his project and I am really off to find my happy place now. Apparently I had the wrong school subject in mind.

    And I am wondering about the drinking during the day thing????

    I kind of liked it better that you were drinking during the day even though the school was treating your family well.

    Party at sittin pretty's house! grin

    I don't know if this book has been mentioned yet... I just bought the book: "Homeschool Your Child for Free" It has 1400 website urls listed with descriptions of what the website has. Organized by topic. They just updated it with a 2009 edition. If you are looking for great free resources, it looks like it will be a good reference.

    Around here "Free" is always good!! Why is it that the powers that be think that having smart kids = having lots of money?

    Quite a few of our museums offer free (or super cheap) "homeschool kits" that you can check-out for a period of time. They typically include a specific curriculum, manipulatives or equipment necessary to conduct a project or experiment and supporting books/information. Some are better than others but for the price they are worth checking out. I do believe you have to be a museum member though so there is an underlying cost.
