Today's Topic:
And we have likely all felt the fool in one way or another. Share your greatest challenge. Or one of those terrible, horrible no good, very bad days where the only thing there is to do seems to involve moving to Australia.
And Secondly as my post for:

This week's Theme: FOOL
The man with the foolish grin
is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way, his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
And nobody seems to like him
they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Some days I feel the fool, the crazy lady on the hill that no one wants to notice and no one wants to listen to. The crazy mama on a tirade, pulling out her hair and wishing the world would fade away if but for a moment so I can breathe.
The greatest challenges of homeschooling have started to develop now as we have entered the High school years. I struggle to feel confident that I am indeed going to give my children the right amount of education to succeed in the real world. I am very good at second guessing myself, and when I am in doubt I think the children see me and think I might be a fool.
Yet, they love another fool within me...the foolish mama that cracks crazy jokes, plays silly games, and talks in crazy accents just to lighten the mood.
So I am both worried to be the fool, and a little proud to be the fool...

Great post, my friend.
Have a great tuesday!
Great song choice!
Home schooling teens is something almost unimaginable to me. It sounds like you're on the right track though with being able to lighten the mood. :)
Can I steal the badge for the HoT page???? :)
"both worried and proud"...kind of how I felt about parenting all the time!
Great post.
Parenting teens is rough no matter how you look at it ~
very cool song ... I feel the 'beat 'of it too.
I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to move to Australia LOL nor homeschooling my teen - he hates me teaching him anything and I don't have the patience to deal with his attitude that learning sucks.

I had no idea about HEW. Point me in a direction, please!
As for the "Fool on the Hill". I know one, too. LOL
Great HEW/HOT!
Great post!!!
I hope you had a great April Fools Day!
We started high school this year, too. It's interesting how people on the outside assume that we would put our son in public high school. It's gone pretty good this year. But I think that I may switch to the Alpha Omega program next year, because I sometimes doubt what we're doing and that it will prepare him well enough. Or, we may do dual enrollment at a college - for both high school and college credit. Our oldest is going through high school at home first; he is our guinea pig.
Great post...and we can be our own worst enemies, can't we? I'm the same way.
Awesome!!
Yeah, I pretty much feel like a FOOL, daily! ;)
Thanks for sharing!
