You know you're a home school mom when...
Your kids say they don't want to go to the grocery store with you because they have "had enough Mom-time this week."
You feel dissed until you realize...
You are about to go somewhere ALONE..
Which makes you feel giddy and guilty at the same time.
The gal at the grocery store's coffee shop says, "No kids today?"
Three minutes later, a woman stocking produce says, "No kids today?"
You grab extra potatoes for a science lab.
You begin making a mental list of reasons "you know you're a home school mom when" and then have to backtrack from aisle six to produce because you forgot salad mix.
You can't wait to post it on Facebook to prove wrong all those who say "home schooled kids don't have friends,"
Which makes you laugh inwardly about the Messy Monday video you shared on Facebook yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJHt-m3VX6o
You decide to blog this list and the video because the whole world should know the truth.
When you arrive home, your teenager offers to help you put away the groceries, which confirms your conviction you must be doing something right.
Your husband points out alliteration while your other two kids are listening to an audiobook.
Your youngest child reminds you about the popsicle sticks needed for this week's French/art project.
You are rejuvenated and ready for come-what-may on Monday.
