Hi Everyone, I am at the hospital, visiting with my grandma. She isn't doing well, please pray for her. She will be here a couple more days. I haven't seen her in 5 years or so, but she looks very old now and very frail. I don't like the way she looks:( Keep her in your prayers please. I am very grateful that I was able to come up NOW just incase things turn for the worse.

Ellie,
Do not read Cindy's post above OUT LOUD... she mentions UNMENTIONABLES...
speaking of unmentionables... LOL! no really it made me remember to tell you that I got my pans and such two weeks ago. NICE! and that apple peeler thing works GREAT on the small taters that come in those 10 pound bags. I'd never try to use it on one of those big baking type taters though. made us some yummy scalloped taters and au'gratin taters and... I don't think it has been used for an apple yet.

Jennifer--is there something you aren't telling us??? I'd offer to loan you some of mine, but I'm stuck shopping in the jr's dept.
Having a not-so-good day here. I had yet another really bad swim this morning. Going back and forth between my two coaches (swim and tri) deciding where to go from here. I'm ready to quit.
Testing is going okay. Ds1 is done for the day. Ds2 and ds3 have one to go. Ds4 somehow messed up his answers, so we have to go back through and figure that out. Happened yesterday, too.

LOL, no, I don't even know how or why it broke...I thought it was fine the last time I put it on, but this morning I found I was wrong.
I have unmotivated, crabby kids this morning. No fun.
I called the office and the still don't know who they are hiring for YCC, and we are getting a little impatient around here!

It says 'participating stores' so I guess we'll just have to check ours.
Does anyone have eperience with a homeschool graduate attending nursing or veterinary school? A friend has a daughter wanting to do the latter but has been hearing that for any medical program they require an actual diploma, not a homeschool diploma, not one accredited by some institution but a real school's diploma. Any info?

Jennifer, I have never heard any such thing. It is true that there are still colleges that give trouble over a homeschool diploma, but if worse came to worse, one could get a GED. Is one of your boys interested in nursing school? If this is the case, there are ways to improve his chances of getting into nursing school. One would be actually working in the hospital, as at least in our area, the hospital helps finance the nursing program in the community college.

No, neither of my kids, but Brandon's friend wants to be a vet and her mom has been told by three different ladies lately that they or their daughters have not been able to get into nursing school because they only had a homeschool diploma. If it had only been one incident she wouldn't be concerned but here she is partway through high school already and unsure of what is needed. WSU is the closest vet school and their vet students have to have a BA (or nearly so) prior to entering the program, so one would think it wouldn't matter, but then, nurses already have a year or two of college upon entering nursing school as well...it's crazy, really. A PS diploma doesn't mean much these days, after all.

That is bizarre, Jenn! I think here in NC it is law that home schooled diplomas must be accepted at face value in public institutions of higher learning.
The only trouble I have heard of is the Police Academy in Manatee County, FL. Isn't that a real puzzle? Why would they not want home schooled candidates to be police officers?
Even more puzzling to me, when I recommended to the local home school support group leader (my good friend) that the family call HSLDA, she was way against it. HSLDA might sue, and then the student in question would face bad blood if he got accepted that way. 
I was scratching my head. If it was my son's desire, I would call HSLDA for sure. I don't what else you can do!
In Florida, home school student's cannot be discriminated against at state schools, and they are eligible for Bright Futures scholarships along with all other students. They are also allowed to dual-enroll for sports, foreign language, etc. Generally the state and the home school community work together to make a better state for all.
The Police Academy is getting away with it because they are refusing ALL non-regionally-accredited diplomas. So if you go to Community Christian School, they won't accept you either.
Don't know about the GED angle, but a lot of people seem dead set against that route also.
It's not like you have to wear a T-shirt that says "I got my GED" if you take the test, ya know?

This very morning I had to tell a company that I have a GED. I am nearly THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD. I may not have a wear a t-shirt but it definitely follows me. I even have several years of college.
You will all be thrilled, I am sure, to know that I have located my missing bosom support system.

All us girls need "delicate unmentionables" 
Sadly, his public school education (all the way through 11th grade) left him unable to write in complete sentences.
