Pain, Exhaustion, Depression

I think these are the three symptoms of Fibromyalgia that are the most difficult for me. Pain, exhaustion, and depression. It’s amazing what you can learn to live with, what can become your new “normal.” It is not uncommon (most days for me) to have chronic pain somewhere, if not everywhere, in my body.

Free World History Resource

As many of you may already know, Eddie and I have a real passion for history. It was our college major after all. With that being said, it has been very difficult for us to find a history curriculum for the kids that we can truly say we are satisfied with. I have actually been pretty appalled at what passes for historiography in most home school history curriculum. What I [...]
