Hey, Joy. I just wanted you to know that the link you give to your new blog is incorrect here. It leads to a blank page / 404 error.

Hi Joy. :) I just wanted to tell you your blog is very informative and I like your perspective as far as if kids don't play with kids of the exact age, look or gender- they are considered strange! Well I am a mom of 3 girls that is soon to be (hopefully) withdrawing my kids from public school...I cannot afford private school, and I refuse to see how much worse public school gets, as far as I DO NOT agree with schools teaching kids sexuality, especially not HOMOSEXUALITY to kids as young as kindergarteners! (yes its true- they're doing it and even promoting it in CA and CT as well I believe) Also, YES we are Christian and to have my little girl raise her hand in class when the teacher is talking about people worshipping the sun and tell the teacher- "Thats bad"... Well for the teacher to tell her she can't talk about God in school or whatever (She is only in 2nd grade) ...I just think that public school is starting to look to me like...Well, like the government is trying to push its secular, no-moral having, Godless agenda on the kids! And I am frankly quite disgusted with it the more I learn! I am seriously considering taking my kids out (I have a first & second grader and 10 mo old) and teaching em from home, maybe finding a homeschoolers group in my area to socialize with (we live near KC,MO)...What do you think? I mean, I have heard that homeschooled kids are smarter, etc but as far as the socializing goes, do you get plenty of opportunity to get your kids with other kids? And do your kids seem to be OK with just hanging together as siblings for most the day? Because mine seem to argue a lot after not seeing eachother much, and I was wondering if that goes away after they get used to being around eachother? Anyway, sorry to bombard you with questions...You seem pretty kickback about homeschooling and I was just wondering how you do cooking, cleaning and still manage to teach all those gorgeous kids of yours? What teaching style do you use? Do you make em all sit around the table,or? Thanks for listening and GOD BLESS you and your gorgeous fam! :) Love-Catrina
