You became a scrap collector... (to be used for arts and crafts or science/geography/math projects)
Doubling mind activities... (You are constantly thinking of what and how to teach using the things surrounding you)
Books and toys crazy... (Looking for great books and educational toys wherever you go)
Net addict... (Always surfing the net for educational/inspirational/motivational websites to improve yourself and your child)
Sensitive... (Anything with the word 'Home Schooling' will immediately cause you to be on full alert)
Became an opportunist! (Every minute is an opportunity to learn something! For example, Reese learned a little science during one of his poo session) :)
Jack of all trades... ( From being a fitness trainer to Scientist to waitress and even the janitor? ) :)
Couldn't care less about what the latest programs being offered to improve/enhance your child's academic progress. Seriously... there are tons of programs from mental arithmatic to phonetic programs out there that claimed to be good and bla..bla..bla... no doubt some of them are really good... but many parents don't realised that you can also do the same at home.... if you do a little research and mix and match.... you just might be able to teach your child effectively... don't need to waste money and time to send your children to these places....
Dreamer... (Dreams about lessons, laughter, sadness in your journey as a homeschooling mom)
Educator of some sort... (Educating others about homeschooling as an alternative route to learning)
Worrier... (As a new homeschooling mom... I am still not confident yet with my ability to teach my son)
Praying extra hard to God.... hehehe...
My journey as a homeschooling mom is still in it's infancy... but I am slowly getting the hang of it and loving it more day by day.... I am proud to tell anyone that I am a homeschooling mom!

Merryn,
I prefer spontaneous activities but eventually I will have to have a fixed schedule and what to teach..so might as well start now... :)
LittleLamb,
Don't be too stressed outlah... it can work.... Most homeschool programs are nicely laid out for you and you can just follow their syllabus. I uses Sonlight which is literature based. I love it so far.
SH,
I can't locate your blog... but instead was directed to a joker.com website!
