So, last night I wrote my blogging masterpiece. It dealt with legalism and deliverance. It was filled with my usual sarcastic over tones and my cameo donut reference. But alas, I lost it. My husband (whom I read it to just seconds before it was lost) said it was probably a good thing because it was slightly offensive (One of my more tamer subjects was how God can't want us to wear "dresses only" because I know that my stretchy Gap jeans that say size 6 on the tag (when I really wear a 10) are a gift from God). See how God delivers me from legalism! How can such happy pants be wrong? Ugh, needless to say, it was probably a good thing that the post was lost or struck down by God as my husband puts it (he says I need to work on being nicer).

 So, I'm off to bed leaving you all with a substandard post. You only get a taste of my insensitivity. I often think I should start another blog elsewhere, where I can say everything I am REALLY thinking, and I can just lie to y'all on this one. Let you think I'm the perfect homeschool mom I often wish I was. Oh, that sounds fun! Here.... I'm going to to try it now.

  Sample of my new perfect homeschooler blog.

  Good Morning my Dear Homeschooling Sisters,

     Let me share with you my daily delights!

 This morning after I got up at 3:00am and had my 3 hour devotion time, I made a whole grain breakfast of wholewheat pancakes (with wheat  I ground myself) and homemade maple syrup.

 After breakfast my joyful children did all the housework (in 10 minutes of course) and sang happy songs as they worked.

 With my perfect little schedule I homeschooled my children in Latin, Political Science, and the Westminster Catechism, then went off to sew a quilt.

 I made bread and gardened, and read all my Sonlight books to my children that are in my truly impossible teachers manual.

 Then my husband came home (on time) to a perfectly clean house, 4 clean children with nicely combed hair (and NO attitudes) and a nice hot dinner waiting for him on the table (Of course I am dressed in a Donna Reed outfit ).

 Then we all sat around reading devotions and went frolicking off into the sunset picking daisies and singing the theme to the Sound of Music.

Ugh, all that lying is exhausting! Maybe I just better stick to the real thing and leave the perfect homeschooling mom persona to those trying to sell a book. ~Karlie

Your wheels are always turning :)
Hope you have a great weekend! Including maybe a couple whole wheat pancakes...after the donuts of course!

Apr. 11, 2007 - What you aren't a pefect homeschooling mom?

And I thought I was the only one. Since I don't sew my own clothes, have a spotless house, have children who never fight, and occasionally eat junk food.

Emily and I were eating double stuff oreo's at her house while cackling over your entry! Gayle's 3 year old son was outside peeing on her tires just moments ago! Both of our dinners last night consisted of pizza and/or greasy burgers. And Emily even watched Dancing With The Stars!?!? Now aren't we just the perfect homeschooling pair?

Gayle (grace4gayle) and Emily (nsremom)

P.S. Oh, and we've been on spring break for at least 3 weeks!!!!!

Homeschooling Rocks!!!

Oh my, I haven't laughed so much all day...you had me cracking UP. " often think I should start another blog elsewhere, where I can say everything I am REALLY thinking, and I can just lie to y'all on this one." I've thought that same thing! The truly impossible instructor's guide...true true. I want to be positive but sometimes inside I feel so whiny! Thanks for keeping the levity going...and honesty. I love it!

Apr. 13, 2007 - So funny!

Posted by bfdelph

First time reading your blog (was feeling saucy and did the "random blog" thing). Too funny! I have a pair of those God send jeans myself only from New York & Co. Just got them. I told the salesgirl that if they kept me in size 6 jeans I'd shop there forever!

I can tell already just from reading this one post that you are a girl after my own heart! I nearly didn't read it when I saw the "country" and roosters and all, thinking that you probably raised your own roosters and grew your own wheat in the country and all. So glad I stuck it out. You made me laugh- thanks!

Can't wait to read more, but first I must go clean up the kitchen from our dinner of frozen lasagna and absolutely no veggies.

The other day I wrote a LOOOOONG blog entry that was simply hilarious (at least I thought so) and it disappeared into the blog-o-sphere!

From now on I am typing my entries into Microsoft Word... saving and saving and saving while typing and then cutting and pasting!

No more magically disappearing blog entries for ME!
