Anybody else's kid going through robot withdrawal now they're bagged and tagged?

11yo tried the pottery wheel for the first time today. All the other potters in the room recognized an addict in embryonic stage.

Great day from the kids' perspective, full of self-directed (mother-assisted) projects. But how do unschoolers do this all the time?! My brain is fried. I have a solution, though. "Make your own dinner, kids; Mama is running away to spend all evening in the pottery studio."

Why do they always think of the weirdest things to do after I say, "I need to think my own thoughts for a few minutes please"?

I may have an education-crush on my kid's fiddle mentor. She's just teaching everything so *perfectly.*

Must figure out how to integrate 3rd child into schedule. Procrastinating.

Found sons in wrestling match over syringe for filling slides.

"There once was a student named Fred who followed Descartes and said, 'I think it is clear that I'm not really here for I haven't a thought in my head.'"

Anyone else have a kid cramming the FRC manual today?

Child's D&D character just entered the stratosphere. Feeling better about never finishing the earth science program.

Son wants to snuggle and knit and sip tea. Basically, I have the best kid ever.

I miss being able to do one unit with all my kids. *sigh*

Finally came round to check out the new site. Overwhelmed but determined to get used to it.

Hugs to you and your kiddos while you reorganize your family. (((all of yous)))

Congratulations!

Unity-- thank you thank you thank you for the LOF chapters!

Hey, I just wanted to say that your Musings of a Tortoise Wannabe blog has inspired me. I hear myself in what you say constantly. That's for keeping it real.

Thank you so much for putting all that work into that master list! You are wonderful!

Always, always, always, follow your heart in making decisions about your children.

I love you too. ;)

Thanks for the compliment about my post. :)

So are you the opposite of a treehugger, or a treehugger in hiding?
