Top 10 Ways to Know You Need a Little Break from Homeschooling

1. It’s 2:30 in the afternoon, you sigh and say, “Well I suppose we should do some school today.”
2. You check the internet for any obscure holiday that you can use to cancel school for the day, “Oh, kids today is National be Kind to Porcupine’s Day!
3. You’re husband smiles and says, “Good morning sweetheart.” You snap and snarl, “Don‘t tell me when to start school!!”
4. You’re husband smiles and says, “How was school today, sweetheart?” You snap and snarl, “So you just assumed we didn’t school today…is that IT?!!!”
5. You see the news headlines about a gangster and think, “… probably homeschooled.”
6. You begin to inwardly resent moms who smile.
7. You’ve hung up mid-dialing the number to your local school to register your kids…twice this week.
8. You start each day by calculating how many more days of school until graduation…and your oldest is only EIGHT.
9. In the midst of a chaotic day of homeschooling you think you’re having a heart attack…and glad about it!
10. It’s been a week and you can’t recall if you’ve brushed your hair or teeth in all that time.

PS – The kind of break I’m talking is a Christmas break…a day off. I’m NOT saying you need to stop homeschooling. Got it?!!
