I love my homeschool group.  Even though we don’t get to do a whole lot with them because I have to work during the day, there’s still the teen events that the boys participate in.  They love them!

With the internet comes a lot of wonderful things.  People who wouldn’t ever think that there is another person like them in the whole world, find that they are not alone at all.  I have found, that I am not the only single parent homeschooling, which I was sure that I was when I first started.  Now, I have 4 email lists that are filled with other single moms who homeschool.  We’re a small fraction of the homeschooling community, but we’re still growing too.  In fact, I just found out yesterday that a local friend had wanted to continue homeschooling when she got divorced, but didn’t know how, and didn’t know there was anyone who was doing it, so felt she couldn’t continue.  Although I live in a City of over 2 million people, we still found each other, and via the internet!

After seeing this Walmart Commercial my son Jack came to me and said, “Mom, I think walmart is sexist”.

Me “Oh? Why do you say that?” I hadn’t seen this particular commercial. He was upstairs watching TV.

Jack, “Because on this commercial they had for halloween. All the costumes that the mom pulls out for boys are super heroes, and all the costumes for girls are princess (which he says with a lisp, btw)ones. Why don’t they have super hero costumes for the girls? Or Doctor costumes. See, they are sexist.”

Me, “oh honey, you just gave me my next blog post!”

This must have worried him a little because he went upstairs and then came right back down and said… “hey before you blog about that, maybe we should rethink it. I mean maybe walmart isn’t really sexist?”

Me “Too late”

Jack “WHAT?!?! You blogged already??”

Me “no, I twittered about it” I did too… really fast!

Jack “But mom! What if walmart sees?”

I guess it was probably a good thing I didn’t tell him some of my twitter friends are the Walmart 11 moms!

Kids! If nothing else, they are great for blogging!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

First I was afraid
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never teach
‘Cause I’m not certified.
But we spent so many nights
Reteaching homework that was wrong.
I grew strong,
so now I teach my kids at home! Read the rest of this entry »
