This is a post about homeschooling.
My homeschooling soap opera.
"What? Homeschooling is a soap opera?" you may be thinking.
"What? Yours isn't?" I am thinking.
You mean it's not complete drama from the moment you wake up until the moment your head hits the pillow at night? It's not a place where all of the main characters lives intertwine & cross each others paths at various points throughout the day? It's not fits of rage and tears and false hope of a happy ending? You don't look for ways to cheat & get away with it? Or contemplate homicide? Or break up with one character(curriculum) only to hook up with another and be just as unsatisfied as you were with the last one? There are no accidents, traumatic events, or beatings that leave you comatose for weeks or even years at a time? You don't have unexplainable messes to get yourself out of even though you know, looking back, they aren't altogether that unexplainable in the first place? You don't feel as though you're reunited with your long lost love when your husband returns home in the evening? Only to discover that he of course has found another love(4-wheelers & yardwork) that he would drop you like a hot rock for at one slight whimper from her. You don't find yourself unexpectedly pregnant & wondering how on earth you are going to care for yet another child? Or wonder what happened to that man that got you into this situation in the first place? You don't find yourself pining away for your girlfriend's perfect life? You don't bounce from one location to the next sucking down coffee & never eating?
Really? Homeschooling's not like that for you, huh?
***crickets***
Um, yeah. It's....not....like that for me either.
One question. Holding finger up in the air.
Where in the heck are my designer clothes, perfect hair, perfect body, & my understudy?
