Ok....I have been told I am addicted to chocolate. I have been told I am addicted to Facebook. I can tell you I am addicted to Pinterest.
Am I addicted to Home Schooling?? My husband informed me tonight that I have a problem and I am addicted. He said "you look like an addict, you need to shut it all down or you won't sleep".
Ok, so I spend every waking minute planning, researching, typing up plans, talking about and dreaming about homeschooling. So, my wrist and fingers are numb or have shooting pain from all the typing. So, I got a book in the mail about homeschooling teens and that is sparking new things in my brain. So what....
Apparently, when Matt told me to stop everything and pick it back up tomorrow, I had the look of a manic. How can I stop....I am reading interesting perspectives on what I should may be do or not do with my teenage daughter. What books I should do...some writing curriculum that comes highly recommended. Literature...credits.... Today, I decided to go ahead and start working on Sierra's history credits for high school. I look forward to ordering more curriculum for her. I planned out her year of science, only to discover some holes in the plan, so I will have to reorganize a bit. It was a day dedicated to school....as was yesterday...and the day before...and, well, so on....
So, my mind is going in ten million directions. I still have some printing and binder assembling to do...a school room to reorganize....a long list of things to get done and I have until the end of August to get it done. No problem, right??
Matt says 89% of what I talk about is centered around home schooling....99% of what I do is home schooling. Now, in all fairness, I am just trying to get as prepared as possible for the upcoming year so that when things happen, as they often do, I can be prepared.
I have had this conversation before at my homeschool group's park day. There is one particular mom that I talk to a lot who FEEDS my addiction. She introduced me to the wide open range of stuff out there for my son and now I have pin boards full of activities on pinterest and I have curriculum information stored everywhere!
Do I need to go to Home School Addicts Anonymous?? Do I need an intervention?
