... and parents are ready to send them back.
Won't you be glad when school starts back? That question was asked of me twice today.
The first time it was my well meaning, young, with no kids chirpractor who could tell they were stressing me because he had his hands on my neck while the children were slapping each other. I replied " you didn't read my t-shirt?" it is t-shirt I designed atcafe press.com . He stepped back and looked down and said "ooooohhhh! Never mind!" and mentioned that a great deal of his families homeschooled. He just didn't know I did too. We laughed it off.
An hour later my kids and I were at the checkout waiting for my reciept as the darn register had jammed and they had to go to the office to get me a copy. My kids are still slapping each other... and I bark "stop"! A lady walks over to me and says won't you be glad your when school starts back. I just look at her as I am on the phone with my bank to make sure the transaction just went through so they don't charge me again, but I manage to mumble the words "we homeschool". She continues talking, I know I couldn't stand the summers when my kids were small.... meanwhile her grown son is nearby and I wonder how that makes him feel. Since I am on hold with the bank, I stand up straight and look at her in the eye and say more cleary, "I wouldn't know we home..... " I never finished the sentence because she read my t-shirt and walked away.... and her poor son followed her.
And that's how my day is going.. but at least the kids have stopped slapping each other... they are in my kitchen painting right now.
