I'm Still Alive!

(barely)
After 1 week of vacation (conclusion: There's no place like home), 1 week of recovering from vacation (conclusion: Routine is what makes home so sweet), and then a stomach virus to top it all off (conclusion: Bunk Beds seem like a great idea until a stomach virus hits), I haven't been very inspired to blog. Trust me, there's NOTHING inspiring about 7 people puking in 1 house. I often wondered this week about Michelle Duggar...how many times has she cleaned up puke?

Sorry for the boring "blahg" and I am praying for an inspiring weekend!

Hope you are feeling better soon.
I dont know how someone does it with 20 something people sick in the same house at once.. 6 is hard enough!

And yes, I feel VERY blessed to have such a handy husband; 7/23/2010 2:28 PM

Hope you all are better and in full swing of your routine.

Why do I homeschool?

I love the company and fellowship it allows
I've learned more since I graduated than I ever learned in school. If I can just pass on a love of learning and a good work ethic, they'll be fit for whatever the Lord has in store for them
At 7 hours per day (conservative estimate), for 180 days per year, that's 1,260 hours per year, times 13 years, equals 16,380 hours of their childhood that would be spent under government supervision. The Bible says, "Children obey your parents [NOT UNCLE SAM] in the Lord." God gave them to me, not the U.S. government. How can I expect them to embrace my ideals and my faith, when I let someone else hold a position of respect and authority over them for 16,380 hours of their childhood?
"Mama, who is Mar-tin Lu-ther King, J R?"
I can never forget how my own faith was shaken by teachers whom I greatly respected
Age segregation is something foreign. Playmates come in all ages and sizes, boys or girls, and some of my children's best friends are adults.
It is so much fun!
My children pity the fools and scoffers who believe evolution
We study real history, not the revised politically correct version
FIELD TRIPS!
My kids don't even know what a "nerd" is, and believe me, they would be labeled "nerds" in public school. Nor does either of them know a curse word, and they think a dirty joke has something to do with passing gas.
I don't have to wonder if some pervert is having his/her way with my babies while I'm not there to protect them
I can control my children's environment, keeping their hearts and minds pure for the work of the Lord
NOTE TO OTHER HOMESCHOOL PARENTS: All of the above reasons are completely NULL and VOID if you give your child a laptop or computer and hours of private, unsupervised access to the internet. He or she would be better off in public school.
