I never, ever planned to homeschool and my brain is shooting in too many tangents.  <\/p>\n<p>I (kind of) wish I knew how long we will live at camp.  No wait, maybe I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>But tonight, I REALLY wish I knew if white leather furniture is impractical.  We were looking at used brown sofas for a practical, no fuss option with the boys.  And then we both fell ridiculously head over heels in love with this set (ignore the blue green chair in the foreground).  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/x9b.xanga.com\/f4df6330d7131280422804\/b223393310.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/x9b.xanga.com\/f4df6330d7131280422804\/m223393310.jpg\" style=\" border-width: 0px;\" width=\"580\" alt=\"2011-12-28 19.34.30\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>David has taken a turn for the practical since we&#8217;re home.  Mostly he is afraid I will fuss at the boys constantly for dragging in dirt (valid issue).  My emotions are sitting in that most-comfortable-ever leather sofa wanting to cross my fingers and think it will all wipe off.  If it&#8217;s hard to keep clean, I really don&#8217;t want it.  If it stains easily, I don&#8217;t want it.  But what if it really wouldn&#8217;t?  What if the boys could come in from their dirty garden play and sit on it and I could wipe it all off at the end of the week?  <\/p>\n<p>I just wish someone would hand out the wisdom of the ages.  Or even a snippet of good advice.
