15 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Mess with a Homeschool Mom

I came across this list when I was reading through some homeschool blogs.  Good stuff.

1.  She has a laminator and knows how to use it.

2.  She often mumbles to herself, and claims she’s having a parent-teacher conference. Some may perceive this as craziness, to the homeschool mom, it’s normal.

3.  She can juggle a meal, fold clothes, and teach a spelling lesson, all while holding a baby on her hip. You may even call her a multi-tasker. {Gasp}

4.  She’s protective of her kids, to the point of psychotic. Urban legend claims the termmama-bear originated from the homeschool mom. Research is pending.

5.  She’s got moves like Jagger. Runs from room to room, putting out fires, or even starting a few of her own.

6.  She’s wise beyond years, constantly studying, researching and growing, to keep ahead of her brood of youngins.

7.  She’s not afraid to wear PJs after 10 a.m. or yoga pants ALL. DAY. LONG.

8.  She almost never calls in sick.

9.  She makes a list and checks it twice, or three and four times depending on how Type Ashe is.

10. She’ll go toe-to-toe with any stranger who questions in the wrong tone or before she’s had a second cup of coffee – “What about socialization?”

11. She stares algebra in the eye and makes y run from x. She will later tell a bad math joke –Dear Algebra, stop asking us to locate your X, she’s never coming back. {Insert evil laugh}

12. She’s been known to cancel school and declare a sun day, instead of a snow day, just because she can.

13. She handles dead animals and bugs with ease, all in the name of science.

14. She’s not afraid to face the Warden of Words (the librarian) to square up on late fees.

15. She won’t claim harassment when the ‘principal‘ pats her on the booty.
