Top 20 Items Carried by Homeschool Bag Ladies 2008-02-27 20:19:10 It’s not hard to recognize a homeschool mom out in the public. As if the harried, panic-stricken look across the woman’s face as she’s trying to corral a herd of children either into or out of her vehicle isn’t enough to recognize her as a homeschool mom, she’s guaranteed to be identified as the one bogged [...] Read more:Items

Pruning the Homeschool Tree 2008-02-04 20:02:36 Snip, snip, snip. Clip, clip.
Well folks, I just experienced my first official act of “pruning the homeschool tree” otherwise known as the ”Mid-Course Correction”. And if truth be told, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! In fact, I’m rather relieved!
Not a few months into this school year I was starting to feel as though [...] Read more:Homeschool
Time Warp Doom 2008-01-29 11:23:49 It’s 2am and pitch dark outside. Physically I’m sick and mentally I’m preoccupied with various types of thoughts. I’ve been tossing and turning in my bed for the last few hours…again. I decide that, rather than force myself to sleep which could take a few more hours, it’s better to ignore the urge and I elect to [...]
Good Things Come To Those Who…Give Up 2008-01-26 13:20:00 Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! <wild cheering in the background>
My almost 3 1/2 year old son has FINALLY decided that it is TIME to go poopy on the potty! I’ve waited three days to go by before writing this post…hoping that it wasn’t some sort of fluke. For some inexplicable reason (because I had given up complete [...]
The Evil Mother-In-Law 2008-01-19 21:57:32 I am sure many people can relate to the title of this post. Unfortunately, the title was a shameless and underhanded trick on my part to hook you into reading this post which is, in fact, about my Mother-In-Law (MIL) except the dear woman is anything BUT evil. In fact, in the eight years that I [...]
My Turn Under The Proverbial Microscope 2008-01-15 22:49:17 “So…”, my 75-year-old retired engineer father-in-law begins, “what’s RJ’s report card look like???”. This was a question that took me by surprise in the middle of a homeschool day last week. How do I answer this so that I don’t have to take an hour away from our already constrained homeschool schedule yet do it succinctly [...] Read more:Proverbial

The Art of Poop Management 2008-01-04 22:56:05 Warning: This post is not for weak stomachs or the faint of heart.
I made a vow to myself that when I started blogging I would only blog with a topic that’s laying on my heart. Know what’s laying on my heart these days? Poop. That’s right. Poop. It’s an ugly but necessary fact of life. Every living creature does [...] Read more:Management
The Optical Illusion 2007-12-30 20:44:24 I’ve taken it on the chin alot during my adult life. Mostly as a result of the stupid mistakes I’ve made. But also as a result of no wrong doing on my part whatsoever. The stupid mistakes have, thankfully, waned in number as I’ve gotten older (although I have been known to make a doozie now and [...] Read more:Optical
The Five W’s of Our Homeschool 2007-12-28 21:30:54 The “Five W’s (and one H)”: in order for a report to be considered complete it must answer a checklist of six questions, each of which comprises an interrogative word: Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
This post will be the launching pad to six other posts that will answer each of the questions above from the perspective of our [...] Read more:Homeschool

One of our dear friends (to protect his privacy I’ll refer to him as Darn Funny, or DF for short) has been having a bad few years with this teenage son. The boy has been doing poorly in high school, [...] Read more:Parenting
Music to My Homeschool Ears 2008-04-26 11:31:20 “Mom…I just love homeschool!” <sound of car brakes screeching to a halt>. These were the words my 7-year-old DS suddenly blurted out this past Wednesday afternoon, while in the midst of playing a home made math board game to reinforce his math facts.
“You WHAT?” I replied, not completely sure that the waxectomy one of my [...] Read more:Music

Can This Old Dog Learn New Tricks? 2008-05-20 22:50:06 As the end of the traditional school year is coming to an end for most families, it won’t be for ours since I am in pursuit of the Meanest Mom Award and have decided that we WILL be homeschooling throughout the summer months. Nevertheless, I found myself reflecting on the past 9 months of our [...]
