Home What?

Everyday, I write down all the things my kid does that's educational. I don't do this because it's the law in my state of Oklahoma. I do this because my ex has caused me grief, in court mind you, over homeschooling. I won, but I continue to record daily activities, just in case... It takes more time to record than it does to teach. I've literally saved everything since my eldest child was in preschool and she's now 19.

 So... I was recording my 7 year old's business today when I thought, why not BLOG about this. Maybe it can help someone else until they find their own way. This is my 16th year doing the home school thing. I'm either crazy, really love to teach, or maybe I just wanted to do what I thought was best for my kids.

 I really don't care what other people think about why I home school. I've been called crazy, stupid, fanatic, and what ever else you've heard others say about people like me. THEY aren't my bosses and I'm not responsible for their kids' education. THEY sometimes consisted of strangers, public school teachers, and yes friends and family. I forgive you and NO I don't take my kids' tests for them.... do you??? If I'm not talking to you, Maybe that's your clue that I didn't appreciate you judging something you obviously don't have a clue about... and right there in front of my kids. Gee, if I wasn't a nicer person I might ask you something really rough in front of your kids. You're not perfect bucko!

 Anyway, I'm ranting now so here the BLOG goes.... I figure if I BLOG instead of tweeting and FBing then maybe someone who cares will read my thoughts and ideas. I hope that you can glean some insights to daily homeschooling and what I learned that may just help you in your journey, and boy is it a journey! BTW, I'm not an English major and I'm also not a typist. Learn to live with that and don't send messages correcting me. Perfection is for God.

If you are not a fan of homeschooling, I don't want your opinions. This BLOG is FOR HomeSchoolers.... enuf said?
