You Know You Are A Home School Mom When. . .
1. You plan on teaching the children a new swimming stroke at the pool on Saturday, and you briefly think, I can make that P.E. for the week.
2. You consider taking next year’s curriculum on vacation because you hope you might have time to read it then.
3. You want to join Netflix because you won’t have to wait for interlibrary loan to get the movies you need for your next history and science topic.
4. You tell your children, cleaning your room, taking out the garbage and scrubbing the tub are Home Economics. Making dinner counts.
5. Your Christmas wish list starts with Math Stories and also includes A Family Guide to Narnia.
6. Instead of slamming the door and running inside, you call the kids outside to see the large ugly bug on the front porch. You suggest they capture it in the bug container, you have three of these on hand, and you get one of the at least four field guides you own, to help the children identify it. The kids all think this is really fun and one suggests they nature journal the bug. You agree.

Well, I guess we qualify. On a quick visit to my sister’s house 400 miles away, we listened to all of book 2 of SOTW in the car on CD…. got the bugs in the freezer for pinning later… and ds swims at the neighbor’s pool often enough, he gets more PE than the ps kids! Yep, I think you nailed it on the head nicely.
