You know you are a homeschooling Mum when..........

You Know You're A Homeschool Mum When...
Author Uknown


You get to change more than nappies, you get to change their minds.
 
When a child busts a lip, and after seeing she's okay, you round up some scotch tape to capture some blood and look at it under the microscope!
 
Your children never ever leave the "why?" stage.
 
When your teenager decides to take one community college course, and comes home and asks you why the teacher wrote "At" on his paper. (A+)
 
You ask for, and get, a copier instead of a diamond tennis bracelet for your wedding anniversary.
 
Your kids think reading history is best accomplished while lying on the floor with their head resting on the side of their patient dog.
 
Your husband can walk in at the end of a long day and tell how the science experiment went just by looking at the house.
 
Your neighbors think you are insane.
 
Your formal dining room now has a computer, copy machine, and many book shelves and there are educational posters and maps all over the walls.
 
You have meal worms growing in a container....on purpose.
 
Talking out loud to yourself is a parent/teacher conference.
 
You take off for a teacher in-service day because the principal needs clean underwear.
 
You can't make it through a movie without pointing out the historical inaccuracies.
 
You step on math manipulatives on your pre-dawn stumble to the bathroom.
 
Some day your children will consider you to be a miracle-working expert and will turn to you for advice.
 
You can't make it through the grocery produce department without asking your preschooler the name and color of every vegetable.
 
You can't put your produce in your cart without asking your older student to estimate it's weight and verify accuracy.
 
You live in a one-house schoolroom.
