I'd like to strangle all of my children this morning. And it's only 8:30.
Oh wait, I'm sorry. Did I say that out loud?
Nope, couldn't have been me. I'm a homeschool mom. I loooove my children. We're a perfect family and my household runs smoothly. All. the. time.
Especially on the mornings that everyone needs to be ready to leave the house at a specified time for a field trip.
Snort! Laugh. Ha. Ha.
I think this is the view that a lot of people take on us homeschool moms. That we have it all together and our children actually listen the first time. And don't talk back. And get up on time. And brush their teeth without being told. You get the picture.
Now maybe there are some families out there like that. Or maybe they just give the appearance of it. But most of the ones I've talked to have the same issues I do. It's life, it's reality.
So if we grumble and complain every now and then, even though this is the choice we made for the better of our family, just grin and bear it. Homeschool moms have feelings too.
Now I'm off to load up my bright and shining pupils for that field trip.
It's going to be a long day.
