Steve and I didn’t have anything planned for Thanksgiving, but today I decided that I really needed to do the full-on dinner. Which led to a major shopping expedition this afternoon and the subsequent realization that the turkey is still completely frozen. Which in turn led to a frantic a9 search on quick methods to defrost. And that was how I got sucked into the world of the Christian Work-at-Home Mom (that’s CWATM to you folks).
It’s a different world. I found it hard to relate, although I’m sure that as women, we have a lot in common. As far as I can tell, the main difference is that they’ve embraced the fact that their partners are never going to do the barest modicum of housework or cooking and I’m still having temper tantrums about it. And let’s face it: I stumbled on this treasure trove looking for advice on how to defrost a turkey.
In any case, this led me to the CWATHHSM, or the Christian Work-at-Home Homeschooling Mom. One hears a lot about homeschooling these days, and did you know they’re taking the blogging world by storm? Yep, and it’s all at
www.homeschoolblogger.com.
Now that’s a different world.
Here’s where we insert a politically correct statement about accepting different beliefs, which is actually true. Or at least truer than many rabidly liberal people in the Pacific Northwest. Also, throw in another statement about how we understand that people homeschool for different reasons. Some of the posts were pretty scary though, especially considering that they are forming young minds.
Like:
… kids are just all caught up in their latest cirriculum …
About the homeschool. All is going well. At least I’m proud to say that the goals that we have set for the boys are being accomplished. My 9 yr old had formed bad habits in his writing scruture, so we have him doing alot of extra writing, consistently. And I see noticable results. All the copy work and handwriting practiice is working!
I am a homeschool mom of two boys. Their favorite thing to do is cook and bake.
Iv’e worked all weekend getting lession plans, etc ready for this coming week. I have a few things left to get but for the most part, I’m ready!! Hubby has been really good at helping out and looking though things with me. He wants to be a TEAM this time around. One thing he wanted to do different this time was make our own Science curriculum. I will be taking Genesis and breaking it up and studying little by little. Light, animals… so on. This all has kept be very busy but I’m getting excited thinking about spending so much time with the kids and watching there minds grow.
A hardy welcome
