Homeschooling Answers

I do not homeschool for either religious or crunchy granola reasons. I'm doing it because it's the best solution for my child right now.

Ha. Like that answer. I like the questions. I often ponder the possibilities of homeschooling some or all of my children, but most immediately my oldest daughter, because of the issues she has at school with the bullying.

I have higher hopes for this school year. Hopes aren't really anything mightier than putting your faith in someone else's hands, though. It's a feeble wish, really.

No Drink For The Kid, Thanks

Proposal to Ban Parents Drinking with Their Kids:

Sharing a beer with your child in a restaurant could soon be against the law. Proposed legislation would make it illegal for kids under the age of 18 to drink, even if they're with a parent.

Later in the article:

Lawmakers say the proposal would still allow parents to serve their kids alcohol in their own homes. And kids aged 18 to 20 would still be able to have a beer with their parents in a bar or restaurant.

Ramen Noodles

Ramen Noodles with a little peanutbutter tossed in is better than I thought it would be.

My daughter introduced me to the idea, and I really like it. Mmmmm. Just finished some. It's easy, cheap and tastes good.

Outdoor Fireplace

I desperately want this Deluxe Outdoor Fireplace. We were at a friend's house the other night and we sat around the fireplace, drank beers and roasted s'mores.

I. Want. One. Yesssss. We don't have an indoor fireplace, so why not an outdoor one? Huh? Huh?!?

Oprah's Candle

Excuse me while I choke on my gum. Oprah's "List" of stuff she loves includes some Jasmine candles to the tune of $345 dollars.

Now that is some crazy, crazy stuff, honey. Three hundred dollars for some candles?!? Oprah. Girlfriend. I can give you about 50 some Jasmine scented candles for that price, girl. Or one for 6 bucks. Sweetheart, you are getting ripped the hell off. (Or you just enjoy paying for over-priced goods because it makes you feel powerful and cool.)

There's a lot of things I could do with a couple hundred dollars. Like... buy my kids school supplies, for example. Nobody should be spending that much money on a freaking candle. What a messed up world we live in, for crying out loud.

Which TV Mom Are You?

You are June Cleaver!
June Cleaver: You are June Cleaver from Leave it
to Beaver. You might not wear pearls while you
do your housework, but you probably like the
idea of being a traditional type of mom who
bakes special treats for your kids when they
come home from school and who sits down to
dinner with them at night. You think of
thoughtful ways to show your kids you care
like making elaborate Halloween costumes or
whipping up chicken noodle soup for sore
throats and you work hard to stay involved in
their lives.

Of course, you teach your children right from wrong
and always hold them to strict standards,
though you may prefer that someone else in the
household do the actual disciplining. That's
just because you are so devoted to your little
ones, you can't stand the thought of missing
out on any time with them behind angry doors or
pouting faces.
