Riigghhht… cause homeschooling moms never need to send the kids outside for a break from them. ;P

Ooh, yes, the patience comment! I get that all the time too! It bugs me, because, no, I am not naturally patient. I don’t homeschool because I’m super mom and it’s easy and comes naturally to me. I struggle with the patience thing, and it’s hard, but instead of saying I could never do it, I keep working on it and we do our best.

As for the denim jumpers: I don’t know how that was attributed to homeschoolers. In the 80s and 90s, when homeschooling was gaining momentum, EVERYONE wore denim jumpers. Not just homeschoolers. For the record, I did not. I was much cooler than that. ;-P

As for me, I have two pairs — no, three — of Birkenstocks, and they are my favorite shoes. Some of them are pretty cute, I think, and not at all like the original model, which is probably the stereotype.

I am a Christian, though not all that conservative. As someone above said, I might scare a few of the conservative folk.

Bright? Yeah, my daughter, an only child, is a gifted kid. That is actually the primary reason I pulled her out of school. The public school was just not meeting her needs. But she’s not smart because she’s homeschooled. She was just as smart when she was in public school.

Livestock? As much as a simple, down to earth, self-sustaining life totally appeals to me, I don’t have any livestock. Neither do I foresee getting any in the near future. Honestly, I think I’d struggle with them because I feel like I would always smell. I’d have to figure out how to get over that.

I am a bit of a “granola” mom, but I was that long before I homeschooled.

Thanks for the list. It’s great.

LOL I’ve thought about getting rid of them several times, but they’ve become the shoes that sit by the door to be easily slipped on for going outside since I don’t typically wear shoes in the house.
