Is MissD2 in any way related to R2D2?

(Congratulations!!)

I hope Little Guy is ok ---it is too bad this situation forced you into a homeschool decision, but hey, it may be the BEST decision right now for him. He's got a good mom and dad and will get lots of love and support ---which seems to be lacking in the public school system these days.
AND for the book ---I have the black and pink one ----------so I am guessing the all pink one means #2 IS OUT!!!!

Sequel? Sequel? You can't tease me about these things, Heidi. :)

I'm glad you found a good solution to the little guy's problem. I hope the homeschooling works out for you!

Reed--hee hee. No. Wendy--no, it just got "bought". It won't be out for over a year. Stinkers, huh? The other book there is Miss D in large print. Two Miss D's--Miss D Two--get it? Okay, lame. Rachel Sue--YES!!!!! Yay!!!! I'm so happy about it, too and I really needed the good news this week.

Congratulations on the book the cover turned out beautiful!!

and I think the home schooling was the best idea.

the cover on the large print!..sorry left that out.

Larger than life....awesome. I love reading large print books -- partly because I think I'm going blind, but also because they're usually thicker and it makes me feel like I've really sunk my teeth into an awesome novel. But your book would still be awesome even if I had to read it with a magnifying glass.

Good luck with the little guy. I'm sorry you had your hand forced in this decision, in a way, and I hope that teacher lies awake at night, riddled with guilt, for the rest of her life.

What?! You found out and you didn't EMAIL ME? I've been DYING TO KNOW!
Okay, I knew the larger print was coming out but I didn't know about MD2 getting accepted! You owe me an email, girl. Ironically, I was thinking about that all this week wondering, "I wonder if Heidi found about about MD2."
CONGRATULATIONS, HEIDS!!! HOORAY!

(I'm sorry about all the trouble with LG's school. I'm glad you decided to home school him versus him staying there in a bad situation. *hugs*)

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I just caught up with your story. How frustrating. I once "poked" a girl in class with a sharp pencil and then she promptly turned around and dug her fingernails into my wrist. I still have the scar. Anyway, it was sorted out in about 15 minutes, with both of us getting a "shame on you" and sending us back to class. Times have changed. Sounds like you made the best decision.

Congrats on MD2! I still need to read MD1!

Congratulations on the sequel! Woo hoo!

And, sorry about the Little Guy. I'm glad you've found a resolution that you are happy with, but the whole thing still bugs me.

Yeah! That's so exciting Heidi! Congratulations!

The only thing better than that hostess cupcake is the second book! Can't wait to read it!!

And also, good luck with the homeschooling. What an amazing thing you're willing to do now.

Congratulations!!!

Oh, this is fantabulous news indeed! Life seems to be turning a corner for you, my friend!

Talk about a tender mercy! Not that I ever doubted I'd see Miss D II in print, but the timing was certainly a blessing.

Best of luck with the homeschooling.

Congrats Heidi!

Sorry to hear about the school, but I homeschool for two years and loved it. Good luck!

Yay for LG and Yay for Miss D. You will be spending a lot of time with two of your favorite people!

Congratulations on all counts!

Congrats! I am going to have to order that book!
:~D

YES! YES! YES!

Congratulations on Miss D Two!! Way to go!

I'm so excited you've got Book 2 coming out!!! I'm equally as thrilled to say that I've already had the great pleasure of reading it.

Congrats...don't you think you should have 2 cupcakes?

Hey! Congratulations, you must be soo excited.

As for the school business, only you know what's right for your child. We have, at one time or another, homeschooled all of our kids but one. It was what they needed at the time. I love having them home and have learned (it's taken FOREVER) not to worry about everyone else's opinions. Only you and your husband can really know what's best for your children. Good luck.

Every child needs a sibling! At least one! CONGRATULATIONS! Good timing, eh? You deserve some happy news.

And there is NO better way to celebrate! I'll be celebrating the same way. Originally I was just planning to celebrate having eaten dinner (that's the normal occasion that brings on dessert) but now today it's be for you and Miss D 2!

And homeschooling? That seems so major. I look forward to hearing how you like it etc. I would love to homeschool for so many reasons but I don't think I've got it in me.

YAY! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait for it to come out and gobble it up!! And good luck homeschooling, so sorry things had to come to that, so sad! :(

Wahoo! I am sooo excited for you! Congratulations. Ca't wait to read it (and about the Irvine character).

Becky, yes, I tried to get everyone's name in there one way or another (unless I have met you since the book was completed--sorry if that's the case--or if it is a name that just couldn't be worked into that time period--so all you Heidi's are out but for obvious reasons I would have avoided that one anyway) but please everyone be warned that there are very few sympathetic new characters in this story. They are all, for the most part, people who are quirky or mean, etc.---so don't take it personally. There just wasn't good happy people to choose from in this story. However, my editor found it delightful so hopefully, you will too!(I didn't name anyone after her--that could be the reason why.)

Very fun!

Like I said on FB, hang in there Heidi! THat is great news about your book! And I guess the plus side of the Little Guy being at home is that he gets to spend lots of time with his awesome mom!

Congratulations, Heidi! I need to read your recent posts to get caught up but it sounds like I missed some bad times. I'm so sorry. I've been drastically cutting down on computer time, but I'll make your blog my bed time reading tonight, But anyway, that's exciting news about Miss D2.

Congratulations Heidi!

doing virtual backflips for the good news - which are MUCH better for everyone than my real backflips... I promise.

hope the homeschooling is a good thing for everyone - sorry it was a forced one though - grrrr...

I am so so thrilled that there will be a #2! A big congratulations to you sweet Heidi!

Yahoo for the LIttle Guy

xoxoxo

This is great news, Heidi!

Wow! I am so impressed!!! YOU GO, GIRLFRIEND! YOU ROCK SO HARD.

And thank you for your sweet support. I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been on the DL.

YAY! Congratulations :)

I'm SO excited for you!!
And what the? I must have really missed something... and I can't find a post about it!!

But I'm glad things are looking up for you on all fronts.

I am so, so thrilled for you!

And a little bit thrilled for me too because the first was so fun and I can't wait to read the second!

I'm so happy for you! That's beyond awesome.

I can't wait to read it again. . .especially that one scene. . .

Snicker!

So wonderful! Congratulations! So happy for you. :)

Poor little guy. Just wish something could be done about that teacher.

Congrats on the publishing, Heidi! I just came over to read the post about your son but it's gone. I'm sorry that things are not going well and I hope that homeschooling him will be the solution that works!

i went to the post about the "incident" to say "looks like the perfect reason to home school."

but the post is gone, and it appears you agree with me :-)
