I was killing time (trapped as a bed for my cranky snotty baby) and came accross this blog
tired but happyAnd I thought it would be interesting to read a similar list of things about the posters here. But I couldn't imagine anyone caring about my list!
But then if I won't do it who would? so heres mine...but 50 is too much how about err whatever I get to before he wakes up?

4. I can't compost so I toss the scraps 'over the hill' ( to be eaten by rodents/cats/raccoon)

6. Politically I am a libertarian.
7. I am married to a computer geek (and I mean that in the nicest possible way!) but truthfully it took me weeks to warm up to win95, and then all of the sudden I had to learn XP!

Fun list! I schooled a bunch of my kiddos the same as you.........I used unschooling to describe us, but it was a term most people had difficulty with. We ended up calling it Student Led Instruction.........bunch of words for the same thing, just staying in touch with what each kid wanted to learn and my only job was to see that the proper tools were available to them. Definately one of the most fun times of my life........
