You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but if you pick your nose and end up with pinkeye, you can’t see your friends at the co-op.

A bird in the hand probably has mites. Put that bird down.

Anything worth doing is going in my homeschool blog.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I’m sending you back to public school.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll be asked which curriculum you used.

A friend in need is a friend who will ask you to loan them your vocabulary test booklet.

Many hands make Mama harried.

If at first you don’t succeed blame it on flaws in the curriculum.

If Mama ain’t happy, you’re probably dawdling.

The early bird gets done with his work in time to go to the park.

There’s many a slip ‘twixt the planning and the implementation.

Two wrongs don’t make a right angle. 90 degrees do.

The road to hell is paved with evolutionist science materials, apparently.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man has 100% more sight than those blind guys. That’s 1/1 or 1.0. He also has 50% fewer eyes (1/2 or .5) than me.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but Roman history can be covered in 8 weeks.

Out of sight, into something they probably shouldn’t be.

What homeschool adages do you us?

    And see all this time I thought it was…

    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll never see him at home on a Saturday again.

    Some I use…

    You’ve just been saved by the “door” bell.

    Beware of children bearing overly large smiles.

    Desperation is the mother of invention.

    Never-ending talkers are little doers.

    Late to bed, early to rise, makes a mom worn-out & full of sighs.

    To lengthen thy life, lessen thy whining.
