August 17... school starts here.

I am dreading the return to having to justify my children to people who think that they are supposed to be *gone* as soon as that magic date arrives.

Yesterday it started- well sort of...

The kids were at the top of an observation tower watching the Mississippi Queen go through a lock. The caliope was playing - it was so neat- anyway my son was wearing a high tech neon lime bicycle jersey-

a chatty old lady asked him, "Is your shirt cool?"

his reply? "No, we homeschool."

that is terribly cute !!

I too get irked when people think my kids should be gone at a magic date.

I get even more irked when they say IN FRONT OF MY KIDS , that I'd be better off with them in school.

grrrrrrr
