three day blog

  Well I thought homeschool was going okay, but this morning Anthony asked me what language Archibald, from veggie tales, speaks.  When I told him english, he said  "eng...what?"     As Anthony's teacher....should I be worried?

I am not sure.... but I may have a slight problem with procrastination and follow through.... .

So I am doing this whole homeschool thing and I am really thinking... what's the big deal??? This is so easy. I don't get all the stress and complaining that I am hearing from other homeschool moms. This is a piece of cake! So I'll let you know how day two goes.

I skipped it the first time around. I didn't have any of the fun that all the normal teens have... You know... ...alcohol poisoning, girls gone wild, teen pregnancy... I just really had no fun at all. So now the revo lt from my sheltered teen years is coming out by rebelling against myself. You are welcome mom and dad. I do fully intend to write that book list.
