Victory 2012
My oldest is doing an internship at the local GOP headquarters this election cycle. Yesterday, there was an event with Senators Burr and Portman.
I like the way my son looks Portman in the eye when he greets him.

Is It Summer Yet!?
We finished the toe drama and J started running a 102.5 fever this week. Many people who know our family often forget that fever for a kid who caths means a trip to the doctor. Fever for a kid who has neutropenia and neutrophil chemotaxis issues, means a trip to the doctor. We don't have the luxury to blow off a fever. He is on the mend... bad cough and congestion, but getting better. Here's hoping we have a healthy summer!
Homeschooling isn't as glamorous as one might think. I'm ready for a break and my people have yet to complete their schoolwork for the year. I enjoy summer because it means I can turn on the radio, TV or talk on the phone. During school hours, I can't do anything because it is a distraction. I really have no life. Even with high school kids, I have to keep an eagle on them all day long. If I get up, they end up goofing off (most of the time).
Of course, they all have lots of things they want to do.... but can't. I'm hoping they will finish up in a few weeks and we can have the rest of the summer off!

Catholic Tea Party Hippie
I've started a new blog -- it is currently under construction, but you can read a few posts I have over there. Catholic Tea Party Hippie Hopefully by next week, I will have the perfect Catholic, hippie, patriotic theme going on! I finally posted there about our protest when Joe Biden was in town. You can read it and see protest pictures here.
Having this blog and the other will allow me to separate my political posts and protest activities. Though, some certainly crossover into the Catholic Homeschooling topic, too.
I hope you'll take a peek when you get a chance. After two protests in one week, I thought having a Catholic Tea Party Hippie blog was perfect for me. We've got a slow week here with no protests and only two doctor appointments for the boys this week. The boys are still working on painting their bathroom, a project that seems like it will never be complete. The toe drama seems to be over for now, so life is good. We have a chance to recover from the two week fight against an insurance glitch... finally think we have Js catheters covered once again.
My house is recovering from a week of protests. We had visitors over the weekend and I had warned them that the house was in post-protest distress.
