My son has decided that dams are his focus for the day, and we’re leaning into it for homeschooling.
Now I get to hear about him building a dam turbine, a dam structure, we took a dam walk to see the local dam. Now he’s wondering if there are dam hydraulics. He drew a dam diagram, did a dam coloring page, and we watched some dam videos. He’s got more dam knowledge in his little noggin than most 7 year olds and he’ll gladly explain to you how the dam water turns into dam power (it’s dam turbines and generators).
I am delighted and he has no idea that there’s a joke floating around in all this. He’s just excited about dams.
#adventures in homeschooling#learning to lean into and direct the hyperfocus instead of fighting it this year#he’s happily done a bunch of class work today because it was themed around his interest of the day

You know what? Fuck it, they both have homeschool trauma
#Rapunzel is the homeschooled kid who’s super under-socialized so she overcompensates by being incredibly social#And tries to make as many friends as is humanly possible#And thinks she’s best friends with anyone she has a conversation with#And due to the lack of socialization growing up she’s incredibly extroverted#And while she is definitely very smart she didn’t have the best education so she regularly doubts herself and assumes she’s dumb#Varian is also undersocialized but he turned super introverted and while he desperately wants friends he has no idea how to make them#nor does he feel comfortable around people#So he just becomes a hermit and wishes he could socialize like a normal person#And then he latches onto any person who interacts with him positively#He’s also ridiculously smart and that’s the only thing about himself he has any pride in#Neither of them are good at social cues or feeling comfortable in public spaces#And they both have severe anxiety and depression#tts#tangled the series#rapunzel's tangled adventure#varian#rapunzel

i did all my quests! (lights laundry, reading plan, and water consumption). i intentionally didn’t include any academics since it’s a sunday. i decided to learn the Thanksgiving Theme from the charlie brown/peanuts soundtrack. first time actually practicing focussed-ly in 3 months. i logged my bible study and piano and yeolpumta has me at 2hrs 20m of studying. tomorrow’s quests:
• section 2, english 3
• measures 22-37 of the thanksgiving theme
• reading plan
i hope ill be able to do all those things as well as errands. only a little more than 2 months until 2024 is over. i worry that i may not be able to finish my diploma in time—i must stay focussed though. since ive had a studyblr and yeolpumta i’ve been so much more productive. tired, must sleep. goodnight!

Bean has been going to Kindergarten for a month now and she freaking loves it. They don't assign homework or anything, but she assigns it to herself because she loves school, so if she doesn't finish something in class she will come home and practically pitch a fit until she gets to finish it. Like yesterday she brought home a little booklet they did for social studies about "American Symbols" and insisted we couldn't do dinner time until she had finished coloring the flag and the Liberty Bell. (But NOT the White House, because it's white.) And the one day she missed due to having a fever, her teacher sent home the learning activities they'd done just so she could have them, not even to get them returned for a grade or anything, but she was so excited about them that she skipped our evening walk so she could do them.
This kid just really loves school, and I really hope that never changes.
#adventures of bean#also reassures me that i did the right thing in enrolling in public instead of trying to homeschool#we're going to my sister's wedding this weekend and she's SO excited but also sad it means she has to miss a bit of school#but when i reminded her the teachers would save the activities for her#she got so excited and was like YES :D#kids

me, reading The Immoral Duke’s Family Needs to be Homeschooled: oh this is such a banger I wonder if there’s a novel—
It’s written by the same author who wrote my author favorite rofan

I'm pulling this out if the AiO team ever tries making excuses for the complete lack of even one homeschooled child in the modern era

7 years ago, I started a group chat fanfic. People seemed to like it! I sure liked writing it.
But then life happened, yada yada, and I never got around to finishing it. To be honest, I thought I never would.
But I reread it recently. While it definitely has the strong Stench of 2017 humor on it, I found that there was still a lot to like about it. And it kept receiving a lot of very nice comments.
So I finally decided to finish the damn thing. I hope y'all enjoy.

Teaching my son to sew. So far he’s loving it and his first embroidery hoop is coming along beautifully. With the darker evenings closing in he’d like to have a go at some new crafts.
As well as sewing, he’s excited to try working with paracord, have a go at basket weaving and even have a bash at whittling.
Fun times ahead … 😃🪡 🧵 ✂️

Me: I love this yarn so much I’m so excited to turn it into sweater aaaahhhhh!!
Also me: I can’t decide what pattern to do I think I’ll just knit this cardigan that I already have a gage swatch for and a plan for.
#I’m doing a gray accent because I don’t have quite enough purple#but between my short arms and tiny torso that might not even be true#so I’ve used a provisional cast on in case there’s enough purple and I change my mind#though honestly the combo is growing on me#adventures in knitting#the lavender ghost#the pattern I’m doing is the reluctant homeschooler#it’s bulky weight so hopefully it’s pretty quick#I do like bottom up patterns where you start with the sleeves#nice to have them out of the way

My life throughout my high school years. Up until I leave for college. CW for SI, SA (mention of), Depression, and Purity Culture.
CW: SA, SI, Depression, Purity Culture A bit of Background The Deckerville First Baptist church was in the middle of a church split when we first started attending. Context of the church split, a mother had approached the new lead pastor Jed Willis about her son who was “living in sin.” What was this man’s sin? He was living with his long-term girlfriend. Jed gave this individual an ultimatum…

#what happens next#i was a weird homeschooled nerd running in circles like the ones depicted in the comic i can't believe there are people who write about thi#the adventures in Odyssey reference was too personal all of it all of it was too personal except not the murder#but sometimes the drama at that age felt criminal sometimes it was actually criminal cause you know but never like murder#i love that this comic exists its just so fucking crazy to read through it and be like hey i know these people we do not talk anymore hahah#sometimes its just too real like way too personal#my community was so much stricter and religious mostly i mean most people definitely my family#but it changed in high school and thats really what it was like#the online parts the irl parts its like reading a close friends diary#i can't get enough of it i never though id find media this personal this is so important to me#whn#i just read all 5 chapters in like an hour and it may be the first time but it will NOT be the last#its just so close to home

today i did my morning routine fully—except for, of course, my reading plan. i decided to talk to my mom instead. i finished sections 1/6 of english 3. i used YTP and i studied 4hr, 11m. since tomorrow is sunday, i’ll allocate a significant amount of time for my bible reading plan that im behind in. tomorrow’s quests:
• wash lights
• catch up in reading plan
• 2 liters of water
today work went pretty ok. i ate before hand (chicken/barbacoa salad with pico, sour cream and cheese). i’m glad i got so much studying in today. i did stretches in the morning as well. i really should workout and move my body more as i am very sedentary and i believe it is already having an affect on my health. tired and must go to church tomorrow—so, goodnight!!
