I admire your fortitude when it comes to home schooling. I already know you have the patience of a saint!

When we were learning multiplication and division in Third Grade, I was out for almost two weeks with rheumatic fever, and I never was able to catch up. With the advent of handheld calculators, however, I was able to spent most of my adult life in jobs where I handled money, from retail sales to cash cages. Go figure. No one would even guess that, now.

My math skills were about the first things to suffer when CFIDS came along, so I really struggle, now. When I had a checking account, I had to always go over the figures many times, and seldom came up with the same balance twice in a row. WITH a calculator! So now, I let the debit card people take care of my math. No NSFs, no fees, no late charges.

I’ll be leaving here in a few minutes to go to Aaron’s and see what I’m facing, and then I will stop at Walmart and get some more cheese.

Busdaddy “only” lost two pounds this last week, but at least he didn’t gain it. I weighed myself at home, and the scales said I had lost four pounds. When I was at Busdaddy’s, I weighed again and it said I hadn’t lost a thing. I like my scales better!
