Why I Homeschool

Two blogs in one day.  Yes I'm sick and in the bed.  And I just CAN NOT watch Little House on the PrairIe.  Talk about being sick to my stomach.  SEE jen's post

Okay, so I just realized there's a contest and I might need to write something because I love free stuff and never get any of it so here goes.  (Be kind)

THE TOP 10 REASONS WHY WE HOMESCHOOL

1. Because everyone in our family thinks we're nuts and ruining our kids.
2. Because my crazy neighbors across the street did it.
3. Because I will not buy the same tennis shoes little Johnny has on.
4. Because after choosing to have 4 kids and then not to immunize we figured this would drive our parents COMPLETELY nuts.
5. Because we get really dumb questions like “Aren't you scared homeBOUNDING will ruin them socially?”
6. We needed just ONE MORE thing to do with 4 kids under the age of five.
7. Well, you see, I'm so organized and proficient at EVERYTHING I figured I better do this too.
8. I have a college education and have to do something with it or my old professors would just DIE!
9. No one really knows how horrible my children can act on a really bad day….No Principle's office for this family!!
10. So I can drive myself nuts choosing a curriculum each year.

AND
(drum roll please)
The NUMBER ONE REASON WE HOMESCHOOL
(okay, this one couldn't be funny.)
#1 It's what God has written on our hearts for our children.
(although all the others are true except for #7 and #9)

    I love all of your reasons, and its good to know there are more and more moms choosing not to immunize. but I love reason number one the most.. it really puts things in perspective.

    And besides the numero uno reason of all- they totally made me LOL!!! = )

    PS: I became intrigued about the “relaxed” way when I first stumbled across articles written by Mary Hood on Amy’s blog (stick2home4school) last year or so. The more books I read by M. Hood & about relaxed homeschooling, the more I enjoyed the idea behind it. Things that used to stress me don’t anymore… and our routine has become even more peaceful. Or maybe that’s all because God is so Good … hmmmmm….. but either way …it seems to work for us. : ) I’m glad ya asked- hmmmm….. maybe I should blog about it sometime real soon and include links and all that good stuff.

    PPS: I love your blog, btw!!! I just had to say that!! ; D So glad you came by & commented!! = )
