It is music festival season around these parts which means I get to hear Xanadu and The Lute Player over and over and over.......and over í ½í¸’

You might be a homeschool mom if you McGyver your child's swimsuit to fit using a spare binder clip in your purse.

Ds just explained that he doesn't like jow stressful procrastinating is. "Perhaps we should plan and start earlier." I am SO glad that has finally gotten through!

One of my son's mentors is obnoxiously attractive. I feel ridiculous, but it is very hard to focus during our meetings sometimes.

"We should read some more Rudyard Kipling, Mom." I think this Classical education thing might be working

Dh and Ds are being sweet and have decided to make me tea. It is about the cutest thing in the world listening to them try to figure out how to make tea, which flavor, how hot, sugar or not, how much sugar....most complex tea I have ever consumed, but made with lots of love!

A right of passage is occurring in our house tonight. Ds is putting together his first item from IKEA. Checking off that lifeskill!

I got a job! So very exciting. 24 hours a week at a local coffee shop. Even better, Dh agreed to allow outside classes for Ds. Piano, Omnibus, and Lukeion will start in a year. There are no words for how thankful I am.

Second Interview at the local coffee shop this week! I'm so excited. $$$ for outsourcing advanced classes would be so ideal.

My mother just called to say that she wants to take Ds to DisneyLand over spring break! He is going ton beSO excited, but I can't tell him. It is supposed to be a surprise. Ugh! We never do secrets cause I am terrible at them. I have tree weeks of 24/7 with this kid and I cannot say a thing!

Final bit of next year's curriculum is being shipped! Now on to elaborate spreadsheets and schedules which will be abandoned three weeks into the school year!

Vegan eats, historical fiction to watch, and homeschool planning. Does it get any better!?

Applying to the local coffee shop for a position. Fingers Crossed!

There are 10 seasons of Friends which now stream on Netflix. I do not exactly know how I can turn them into an educational opportunity, but I'm workin' on it!

I conspire with my son so that he can stay up obnoxiously late and read books.

After a long week I'm finally freshly showered, in my jammies, and watching drivel on Netflix...total bliss!

Our new version of Word allows me to type in fractions and other complex equations! I figured someone here would recognise the awesomeness of this.

I am so frustrated with being "socially acceptable." Socially acceptable when we are out and about, socially acceptable with the neighbors, socially acceptable with my husband, socially acceptable in homeschool, teach Ds to be socially acceptable. Good gracious is there anywhere that Ds and I can just be quirky weird people that have fun!?

Today the conservative, logger neighbor my 9 year old hangs out with just came down to our house to tell me that two days ago my son flipped him off. Well, that's fun...

I'm having so much fun going back through classic Sesame Street for Spanish lessons for my son. Total flashback to the 80's!
