Call me crazy (most do I suspect) but I end up talking to the nicest people on the phone. Even when I was in college, I had a very long conversation with a woman trying to get me to switch phone companies. I was dodging an English assignment, and she was dodging cold calling more people. We ended up talking for nearly an hour about everything BUT the best long distance carrier.

Being a Mom has strengthened my defenses. Not in a “stop, block and drop ‘em” kind of way, but if tomorrow the beloved Mr. Miyagi commented about my weight or mental downfalls during an introductory lesson, I’d have to kick him in the tenders.

I’m active on a number of parenting/mothering forums. Many of them have subforums for every category under the sun including homeschooling. On the homeschooling forums – at LEAST once per week a new member will post “How do I get started?” “What do I do first?” or something along those lines.
I confess that I get extremely annoyed at these posts…and it’s not because I’m reading them at 6am without the benefit of that first cuppa joe. It’s more like JEEPERS CREEPERS folks – you want to be responsible for educating your own child but you’re too lazy to do a quick internet search to get some basic information all by your lonesome? You need someone to TELL YOU what to do? Boy oh boy are YOU in for a rude awakening!
