So here is my first post. There are so many things I could tell you about. For instance, I could tell you about how my daughter and I became parents to Tiki the parakeet, but that's not really interesting. (Except she does talk and thats rather fun for Sydney and me.) I could tell you about the day my daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome on the same day we started bombing Afghanistan and how I needed a few days to really process all that negative stuff. I could tell you about the first time I went to see my Naturopath and stopped eating wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, sugar, alcohol and caffine. I could tell you about how I decided to go back to school and get my AAS in medical coding. I guess I could tell you lots of things, but why waste your time on stuff thats already happened? Let me tell you what's going on now.
I have 2 months left of school. 2 months! I can almost taste that new job, new apartment, new paycheck, new loan payment. I have already started the job hunt. There are lots of coder jobs out there, but they all want experienced and certified coders. I will get my certification this spring/summer. As far as experience? I need someone to give me a chance. I might end up taking a temp job for a while to get the experience under my belt.
Speaking of belts...Sydney got her yellow belt in karate! I was so proud of her. It gets harder and harder but she keeps trying and trying. She enjoys it a lot and wants to be a blackbelt someday.
Homeschool-We are studying American History and its going well. I am using a curriculum called "Sonlight" so it is already planned out for me. I am getting used to the idea that learning can take place even when you aren't behind a desk. We have a big map of the world and of the U.S. on the wall and we are learning about Columbus and Native Americans right now. Math and penmanship courses will have to go a bit slower but I think I am on the right track with her. The most important thing right now is to build up her self esteem in math.
So, I have written my first blog. I wonder if i will be able to keep up with it. Until next......
