School Supplies

we had six boxes on the first day weighing 34 pounds each of school supplies from K12.......my daughter was so excited!
the next day we had four more boxes delivered with her computer and printer......didn't cost us anything!
Obviously our tax dollars go to the K12 program which I believe is about 9,000 per child.....really what does a public school do with that money?  A lot of it goes to administration because I know teachers don't get paid well!

This is the name of the tumor Brad has....I just googled it and it is typically something children get.  This is how the appointment went....... The doctor walked in the room with a smile and said, "You know don't you?" "You called and found out the results?"  I told him I didn't and his smile got bigger :)  He still didn't tell us he did a few coordination tests on Brad and sat down and said, "You have a Pilocytic Astrocytoma WHO Grade 1 tumor.....and if you have a brain tumor this is the type of tumor you want to have!"

GENDER BOYS VS GIRLS This next topic is very controversial right now.  Dr. Phil actually just did a special last week called, "The Pronoun Debate" and touched a lot on this topic. He got very heated.  There was an interview by a lady who is raising her child without a gender.  It was shocking and surprising to see what she had to say.  But no matter how you feel about the gender debate or the pronoun debate in America today there is still the debate of how to raise girls vs boys.  Is there a difference?  Read this story for more info: https://time.com/5885697/gender-creative-parenting/ Lets start out by reading this story:  One of the BYU-I professors shared the following story about parenting and gender.
