I’ve had several people tell me they can’t leave comments here. I’ve checked spam, and can’t find any comments there. So I’m thinking this is a wordpress issue. Let me know if you’re having trouble leaving comments at shestarteditATgmailDOTcom.

8 year-old almost reaches the top.
It’s officially that time of summer where I’m ready for the kids to go back to school. They’ve been home with me, almost 24-hours a day, for two months now.
But there’s still one more month left before they go back.
I’ve done my best to keep them at least a little bit busy. The girls spend roughly 5-10 minutes a day doing each of the following: writing, math, and piano practicing. They’ve read and drawn a ton. They’ve come up with, totally on their own, a gazillion different crafts. They’ve gone to Europe, they’ve hiked to two different waterfalls in Georgia. They swim at least five times a week. They’ve even tried rock-climbing.
Sunday night we shot off three rockets that they’d built over the summer. (Please ignore my incredibly nasal voice talking about the weather in Europe. I could not figure out how to edit that part out of the video.)
Really, my kids don’t need a whole ‘nother month off school.
I have been reading along and enjoying your posts. I don’t always have time to read and comment. My kids are adults now, so they aren’t home from school for the summer, but I do remember the sentiments you expressed. It’s only one more month…hang in there! I am sure they will have great memories of these times you spend together
Thanks so much, Robin. Glad the comment-thing isn’t an issue for everyone!
Hi – leaving a comment – just because – wordpress has been making you log in to wordpress which kind of sucks (IMHO) – so that’s maybe the problem? that is, though, across the wordpress universe – not just you.
Several people have told me they actually can’t log into wordpress…
also, for us, summer just began – we’re on week three.
Have a great summer, magpie. I’m about all summered out!
I enjoy reading your blogs. You remind me so much of my daughter (in your writing style). She is going to graduate from high school next year.
That’s sweet, Sabitha. Thank you.
