Let's hope it doesn't involve a mullet.Ģ. Plus, I'm hoping he'll move on to a new obsession. Battling over a pair of tacky sunglasses with a 16-year-old boy is probably the least of my worries. And I'm pretty sure there is a song about that somewhere. I've had to threaten him within an inch of natural life not to wear them in church. Josiah has taken to wearing the same pair of 80's sunglasses 24/7. It's been a while since I've treated you to one of my "Random Thoughts" posts, but I figure I'm long overdue.ġ. I've got a long "to-do" list for the day and I'm trying to muster up some motivation to get 'er going. I'm presently encamped in the corner of my comfy couch. Right now I believe a documentary is calling my name. I did have a very special Valentine's Day week. There was another "good" piece of news (I am totally being sarcastic), but I'm not going to go borrow trouble right now. It has to do with the arteries and veins in my legs. I can tell you I found out I have something called Chronic Venus Reflux. I'll go into more of all that at a later date. I had a diagnosis (or two) this past week that wasn't any fun. I'm thinking about heading off into the bedroom and find some sort of documentary about the Black Death or French Revolution. Sometimes I just have to be in the right mood for sugary sweet drama and romance. There is a Hallmark movie on, but my brain isn't fully engaged. Right now I'm perched on the cozy corner of my comfy couch. Josiah also didn't have any of his Monday classes, being as it is President's Day. We had intended to go to Indianapolis for some pastor training, but I knew that I wasn't up to that. Not quite sure what that "something" is.one can't really tell nowadays. In full disclosure, I spent most of my Monday in bed. I have had all of these things said to me. Instead, I want to share with you some common things I have heard over the years while talking to others about our personal homeschool experience.Īnd, yes. We have some bad'uns.īut I am not doing to address those kinds of issues (such as the ills of society) today. Homeschoolers are as varied as the rest of society. Don't react to the awful and despicable actions of a few. That's when you start seeing articles about the dangers of homeschooling and how we need to make people accountable, dang it! And wouldn't you know it! That lazy girl didn't make her kids do any work!Īnd then there are those who heard about some awful abuse case on the TV. Most folks who don't either don't have any experiences with anyone who has homeschooled or they have that one relative who took her kids out of school because they got mad at the principal. Most former schoolteachers I have met think it's a wonderful thing. I have found, however, that many people have strong reactions in homeschooling. There are a plethora of reasons why a family might consider homeschooling. That would be ridiculous and, frankly, impossible. Before I begin spilling all I know (it happens), I do need to tell you that I don't speak for all homeschoolers.
