1. I dislike blogging.
2. I compromised my homeschool by working part time.
3. I do this by bringing my kids to work with me and working from home.
4. I do bookkeeping which has given me a new sense of purpose and I love it!
5. I wish I had more children 5 years ago. Now, I feel too old and this will be a regret I will carry with me as long as I live.  I know there are women in their 40's still having children (and I'm not there yet) but my husband is 10 years my senior. He's just not into it anymore!
6. I love homeschooling but I secretly wish they could go to school now. Just once a week would be nice.
7. I have a sweet tooth. I made chocolate cake for my family last night and forgot the sugar! What a disaster that was, so I poured kirsch over it and made hot custard and poured that over it, then covered it with strawberries and kiwi fruit, whip cream and chocolate sauce. They still tasted the baking soda! Ha!
8. My brother makes me laugh. I forget to laugh sometimes.
9. I was born in New Zealand (where I live) but I belong in Canada where I grew up. I thought I was special being born in a sub-tropical place like NZ, but now that I've lived here, I get more points for being Canadian! Ha!
10. I love to knit but I get bored with most projects I start so I rip them out and try something else. I do finish projects but they usually take a year! Knitted socks are my latest thing and I finish them in weeks. Lace knitting is my current challenge but I've not mastered it yet.
11. I'm not usually organized but when I get busy, I whip myself into shape.
12. The NZ Ministry of Education did not send me my Certificate of Exemption. They said I needed to read the application form again and fill it in properly. Ie. they need to know which school my children are registered at. I filled the application form in correctly AND one for each student as they requested. The answer they didn't like is that I put "Homeschool" in the blank where it asked what school they were registered in. My children have never gone to school. They also politely reminded me that the children must be in a school pending my acceptance letter. I feel very angry about their narrow-minded take on my application. They should photocopy my 6 page covering letter outlining my Broad Curriculum Areas so they can file one with each child's application and Detailed Outline of each child's education plan.  I'm very mad at them right now. I could spit.
13. I went to a leadership conference today.  Apparently, I'm a leader. I fit the category leader rather than "minister."
14. I'm healthy and thankful for my good health.
15. My husband wants me to run/ walk a marathon with him. Ha! Not a chance. I don't like exercise. I do go to the gym once in a while or the pool when I feel the urge but generally speaking, I don't exercise.
16. I still love hymns. They sometimes make me weep. I miss "sings" at the McKillops.
17. I play the violin with my son. He's better than me but we have fun together.
18. I love my kids and my husband of 11 years.
19. I enjoy a good novel once in a while but it consumes me when I get into it.
20. I indulge in a coffee and cake when I'm out by myself. It's sneaky but I do it because there is no one to judge me.
