And I'm a big fan of Judas Priest as well, but I had just mowed the lawn to Metallica before I wrote this post.

(did you know there is actually a symbol that combines the question mark with the exclamation point? It's called an interrobang -- seriously!) This post is excellent. You might know I homeschool my kids (permeates almost all my writing). I completely understand where you're coming from. It definitely takes time away from blogging. Social stuff, hmmm, not so sure that's much of a problem. But, The field trips can definitely get expensive (note, trip to St Louis Arch). And, you and I share a love for Judas Priest apparently! Painkiller! How did I miss this post!? (did you know there is actually a symbol that combines the question mark with the exclamation point? It's called an interrobang — seriously!)

That opportunity came out of left field for me and am excited to be involved. My problem would be teaching grammar, but I'm totally with you on the patience thing. Oh cool, nice to meet you.

My main reason I could not home school is because I have a hard enough time trying to help my son (4th grade) with his math...so sad really that I can't figure it out most of the time....<br><br>Math not my strong suit, but I could whiz them through the rest of the subjects through graduation :) Okay so the patience thing could pose a problem here as well :) Okay this made me LOL (I am a fellow Nestle Family attendee).

The way my wife and I are looking at it is the student will get out of schooling what they put into it. So as long as we are there to encourage and support him in his studies he'll do fine.
