ARGH!
Stay out of my home school decisions and leave my family alone. It's no one's business how we choose to homeschool. My kids don't need your "help". Know what you are getting involved in before you decide there's a need. Especially when there might already be help in lace.

Eating in public
I am haavig a ferocious breast feeding mother moment.
I am very extreme about my breast feeding.And I just don't care what people think about it. I's my child's RIGHT to nurse-it is her food, it is her comfort, it is her drink when she's thirsty, it is her medicine, it is a nurturing. And if people are so insecure about my breasts being used for those things, then they need to take a long walk off a very tall cliff.
Beyond that, what would make any sane person think that it's okay to walk up to a perfect stranger, pull aside a sling to "peek at the baby" and then be horrified to see my bare breast? And then to have the nerve to tell me that she's too old to be nursing?
Just who in the world do they think they are? Until we became 'civilized', the AVERAGE age for weaning a child was between 2 and 4 years of age. My children should be so lucky. I've been happy to get 2 of mine to 18 months and one to 22 months.
Don't piss of the nursing momma. You might get an earful. I relish my quit snuggle time with my nursing baby.
I had hoped to tandem nurse Duck and Princess Crankenstein, but Duck chose to be done 3 months before her sister arrived. It bugged me, but it was her choice. Breast feeding is a natural, healthy expression of care, love and commitment between a mother and her child, and as long as both are comfortable in their nursing relationship, who the hell's business is it? And how rude to look in my sling-without waiting to be warned, without waiting for permission, and then be angry because you saw my breast. It was covered until you peeked.
Leave me alone when it comes to my personal choices regarding my family. And I'll leave you alone regarding yours.

Garden time
I know, I know. Most of the country is covered in snow oday, literally. And I'm talking about my gardens....
Herb garden for sure. Nettles, mullein, plantain, calendula, and hopefully this year I can get a few elder berry bushes and I'd like to have a hawthorn tree. Sage, oregano, basil, chocolate mint, catnip, spearmint, lemon balm.
Veggies: Tomatoes, onions by set-Colorado candy I think, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, acorn squash, yellow beets, choggia beets, brussel sprouts, beans-pintos, and green. Jalapeno, red and yellow peppers. I am considering potatoes....and I think I want to do reds and blues. Odd, huh?
Sunflowers and wild flowers in the front yard. And I hope we can start planting some pines in the front yard this year.
And I am hoping my Darling will let me get ducks again. I know we're getting turkeys, but I really miss my ducks!
