2. The very one!
I have one son and one daughter. My son is 15 and has an amazing head on his shoulders (when he is not being a teenager LOL). My daughter is 4-1/2 and is also very smart (she reads and is able to add already).

I am a lucky Mama!

6. You are so sweet to me!
:hi:

In other news, my husband is back from a week of interviewing in SoCal, and he thinks he may get at least two offers, maybe three. So the move out west is closer to becoming a reality.

5. Which one? If that is "A brief history of time" that would be pretty
co-incidental.

That is what I read back then........

11. Well, well. How about that.
The fun old days... I did my HSC (yr 12) chemistry in a month in extra time, which was a bad idea because it made the next 3 years of chemistry a bore. But it gave me an ungodly chem mark.

12. That is very cool
I wish our schools were flexible like that. I think both of my children would benefit from accelerated learning in specific subjects.

13. My school was not flexible - I learnt it my own time.
Think smart enough to read that stuff + photgraphic memory (for conceptual stuff).

Then unpleasant stuff happened & I spent until 02/27/06 (As the Americans write it) dealing with it.
