If you're a bird, I'm a bird

I attended private school up until middle school. When I was in the 7th grade, I was told that I was going to be homeschooled. I remember feeling sad because I had to say good-bye to my friends that lived about 30 miles away. See, up until a few years ago I thought I was being homeschooled because I was being bullied by some girls that were a grade older than me. They used to follow me around during lunch and recess. My friends and I would sneak off to eat and they would find us or wait outside of the bathroom for us to come out. My friend told the teacher on one of them for "Christmas treeing" on her standardized test. The bullying got so bad that they threatened to slit my throat by making hand motions of a finger going across their neck. It was rumored that one of them was carrying a knife in her bra. Let me remind you that this was a private, CHRISTIAN school. These girls were my mom's former students. She used to have them over for sleep-overs. Since my mom was a tea...

Joe and I have been reading more here recently. Joe's been reading Christian books he's had on his bookcase and checking out similar books from the library. We go to the public library every Sunday now. We leave for church  at 8:20 and get home after noon. Lincoln falls asleep on the ride home and sleeps until 2:00. When he wakes up he eats lunch (pb&j sandwich). We load up and go to the library. I carry him in our Ergo baby carrier up to the adult section. Joe and I walk around the fiction and non-fiction section. When Lincoln starts grunting and whining and we get stares from people, we head down stairs to the children's area. He plays with the puzzles and sits in the chairs and looks for other people to socialize (definitely takes after his daddy). He doesn't sit still long enough for books anymore. We were checking 5-10, but we weren't getting to read them so now we just get one and maybe in a week's time I will be able to read the whole thing. =)  I...
