Today a guy disagrees just to be disagreeable... This person loves to decend on my homeschooling blog and cause problems for no other reason than that he hates homeschooling... yay me.

Here's the post in question.

  • People play the race card
  • When people accuse others of playing the race card
  • When people make assumptions as to my level of expertise
  • When people call names just because they don't agree
  • When people write  stupid things in my comments that make me scream at my computer because it makes my husband think I need a break and he tries to drag me outside for some fresh air when I would rather be screaming at my computer because someone wrote something stupid in my comments.  

 On the other hand, I have to remember that each one of those comments brought me hits which gets me paid, so bring on the stupid comments.

As much as I hate conforming, I think I hate lack of routine even more... that is other people's routines.  I like to know that everyone else is going to be at work, or in "school" (we homeschool) at certain hours and I can work/blog undisturbed.  From the first of December through the first of January, we have not had regular classes and my husband's work schedule has also been a bit erratic.  

Yes.  I'm a bit of a scrooge, and I am glad to have my solitude back.

1. They want a Wii to share.

2.  Cold hard cash

I think I can do that.  Now saying how much cash, but they'll get some.

I am a 40 year old homeschooling mom who also blogs and writes articles for a living.  I am seriously considering going to the Blogher convention this summer.   I write for numerous websites.  They include families.com, examiner,com, ehow.com, thefuntimesguide.com and others.
