Up late prepping for the upcoming week after spending around 5 hours today on academics and testing-should’ve been a day off for us, but I’m trying hard to keep us on a decent schedule so that we can enjoy our holidays. I really feel like I’m in a daily marathon with this homeschooling stuff. It’s like parenting for me-24/7 with minimal breaks.
I was side-tracked tonight after catching up on world news, most notably the happenings of Gen. Patraeus and his resignation. I was reading his bio on Wikipedia. They’ve already updated his history to include his affair. News travels fast. As a former flight surgeon in the USAF, I can tell you that one hates to see an officer, especially one of his extensive decoration, take a fall such as this. My children will read all about his career one day as a notable military figure for America, and they’ll be left with this memory. Good lesson on mistakes, I guess.
