haven't posted in a while

and I don't really know why.  I've just not been inspired to write anything.  Following my very wonderful week complete with a lovely nature walk was a pretty crummy week.  Bad attitudes, much stress, some very emotional times.  And that was mostly me.  Just one of those weeks, I guess.  But it wasn't all bad.  My mom took us out to lunch one day, which was a nice time.  Z had some beautiful moments of teachability over issues that have been difficult in the past for her. And after working with L about complaining about my food, today he really enjoyed tuna fish sandwiches (and asked for seconds!) after coming to the table with a sour expression. Little victories, I guess.  

I think better things are on the horizon.  Next week is our last "official" week of school until after we move (which we are planning to do at the very end of april.)  And I've decided to just wait on learning about Ancient Rome, which is sort of a relief.  So I won't be trying to cram the week full of stuff.  And we're going to Michigan soon to see family and friends, and we're really looking forward to that.  I'm also thinking about unplugging myself a bit, but I think I'll wait for the next post to discuss that.   Oh, and we got a video camera, but right now it has the memory card from our regular camera in it, so we haven't been taking a lot of pictures.  But we'll fix that soon and try to get some more pictures posted.  That's it for now!
