Homeschooling

The majority of my local friends seem to think kids who are home schooled have poor social skills and are “weird” . I find this an odd observation for my friends to make being as how they are all rather odd people (myself included) and most of them don’t seem to have particularly good social skills. I have not known many people who where home schooled
so i can’t say how they seem but i have known many people who went to public and or private schools and
it really didn’t seem to help them at all as far as social skills go. I think my child will be lucky to not be a bit weird consider that myself and Papa Mouse are certainly odd.

I sometimes wonder if having tis baby will mean that I am going to lose many of my friends. I am not worried about it since the friendships that i would loose seem to be drifting apart already and have been for a while. It does make me a bit sad though. Many of my friends seem to be very mainstream and to have very mainstream ideas about the world and I am a Mouse who makes my own path and doesn’t follow the crowd.

mouse birds!

Some birds hop around and act a little like mice. Papa Mouse always calls them mice birds. I found this image while surfing flickr.

 

Awoken by a bean

I have not yet mentioned that Papa Mouse and I share our home with two pet beans. There is the Black Bean and the Cow Bean. this morning the Cow Bean lay beside me purring loudly as a gentle way of reminding me that she desired food. I woke up slowly and as I did little mouse began kicking me with all the mousiness it could muster. I got up and Papa Mouse fed the beans and I came to the office to customize my blog. Do you like it? I am trying to make it feel original but it is hard as there are not enough options to customize it to make it exactly how I want. I have found some nice mousy images though.

An Introduction

I have recently realized that I would like a place to blog that’s a bit more anonymous than my normal blogging site. I followed the mice and the led me here.

I plan to post about lactivism, attachment parenting, being barefoot, elimination communication, pregnancy, natural family living, home birth, family life and various other things.
