How Old Is Too Old For Kindergarten? - Blog Entry

22 Sep 2009 06:59 AM

People here in the south are amazed that my 13 year old is in "high school"... I use quotes because we homeschool.

People in these parts do keep the kids home a little longer, I think in some cases because mom stay home and are in no rush for the free "childcare" that kindergarten provides.

If I were going to have a kid start at age 7 though, I would have him put directly into first grade.

Bed bugs are little red bugs about 1/4 inch in size... they are hard to find though. When I go in hotels, I look behind the bed and in the creases of the mattress edges. You are more likely to see red dots from blood than the actual bug.

I agree, my house, my rules. I have had a couple of kids not come back because I threatened them for standing on my furniture.

Getting Scuff Marks out of Linoleum Floors - Blog Entry

On my hardwood floors if there is a scuffmark, I take off my shoe and rub my big toe across it, kinda like a built in scrub brush. It comes right up. Strange, but it works.
