"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, my rock, my fortress and my redeemer."

The goose got me.  Now I have to think.  Hmmmm.

Well, should I talk about food?  Or my  husband?  Or cooking?  (I guess that is the same as food.....sorta.)  Or should I talk about homeschooling?  Ooh......maybe I need to do that.......

Top five things you will never hear me say:

5.  "Of course I voted for Clinton, twice!"

4.  People don't kill people, GUNS kill people.

3.  A woman has a right to choose.  It's her body after all.*

2.  Hey kids, lets all go out and get a new peircing!

And the number 1 thing you will never hear me say:

"Wow, check it out!  Gena has posted a new photo on her blog!"

(* at one time, I believed the lie.)

****************************************************

OK, now, I must do the top 5 things you will never hear me say about homeschooling:

5.  Everybody has to homeschool the same way.

4.  The state aught to have a lot more control over those homeschooling people before they get out of hand.

3.  Every homeschooled child from age 5 up must take standardized tests, twice a year.

2.  You must have a state curriculum or your child won't get an education.

and...."drumroll"

1.  Only those with college degrees are capable of teaching their children at home.

(Look for an upcoming post on "what you think you need in order to homeschool")

Now, my last list

The Top 5 things I will never say about my husband.

5.  He is the worst cook in the world. 

4.  He never helps with the housework.

3.  He has never helped with the children.

2.  He doesn't love me.

1.  He's a no-good lazy bum.

Well, that was fun!  I believe we have to be very careful about what we say.  A mom should never say anything bad about her husband to her kids.  She should never 'rag' on him to her friends.  I know we are tempted sometimes, but just go talk to the Lord about it!!!

 I am so blessed by the man I married and I thank God for him every day.  He is an excellent cook, helps me tremendously, is brilliant, loves his kids, helped a ton when they were babies. (Probably changed more diapers than I did.)  Is a very hard worker, and loves me for who I am.  He helps with the education and discipline of the kids, and keeps us all laughing.  Sometimes I am grouchy, but he still loves me anyway.

Hope you enjoyed my 5-5-5 deal.  You can just blame Jen and Maggie for their part in it.

Happy Homeschooling,

Nancy
