YES! It’s all true. I am enjoying every one of these benefits now that my oldest is being homeschooled. Brilliant!

Ha! I am so in adore with this. My biological clock started up a few months ago and I’m…either preparing for future giglets or procrastinating from cleaning and sleeping. I was unschooled for 6 years, and am so delighted to have found a secular homeschooler that isn’t yappy-sappy, overly politically or anti-religiously driven, and with a squeee-worthy sense of humor, plus this Secular Thursday biz to direct me to more fun n’ games. Subscribe…done.
Ha, sadly, even with very few friends in the real world, I totally wanted Pogs (off limits.) But I did catch all 150 around the world, so…heh. Hi.

Hilarious! “Homeschooling, I choose you!!” -totally stealing that!

The other day when I was at the grocery store, my son decided to draw on himself because I did it (at Central Market, penned the produce code on my hand so I could tag my veggies when a scale was free) and so, he gave himself full sleeve tattoos. I wish I had thought of that line so stealing that one too!

Actually, I’m just stealing it all -these are pricesless.

You know, next time someone asks me why we homeschool I’m going to mention floods. It hadn’t crossed my mind before (mostly because I’ve stopped noticing how ill-dressed we are, God knows we blend into our usual social sphere), but it’s a real perk.

I’d have more pithy comments, but my younger dd is finding the distance from which she can suck Nerds into her mouth hands-free — an important scientific experiment that is NOT AT ALL related to #10 — and I need to keep the rats off the table.

When Cpt S was in public school, I was forever saying, “Now, WHO is this party for, again?” He was once the only boy in attendance at a girl’s party, because apparently, by 3rd grade, boys don’t go to girls’ parties any more. Who knew? He had a blast there.

Welcome aboard! I hope you brought your tinfoil hat to protect your brain from the craziness you’ll find here.

Homeschooling excuses any of a number of abnormal behavior, like talking to yourself, buying ten times your weight in non-fiction books, and getting gaga over nice maps.

I clearly MUST homeschool Rowan/my future children, then, because I will forever be wandering around bookstores talking to myself. And giving book suggestions to anyone in the general vicinity.
