Isn't that insanely amazing?Oh I know exactly what you mean. I plan life around medication routines for the girls to a certain extent. I can only tweak so much. Fortunately I found another good sitter who is reasonable and flexible; but I still need notice for that. What's the saying about farmers? Most people work 9-5 but farmers work 5-9. Even small hobby farms are like that from what I've seen at my mother's friends.
Sometimes people think just because I homeschool my kids that we have tons of free time. I might take DS for a haircut at 1pm ever 6-8 weeks; but that doesn't mean we can just drop school "whenever" to go to x, y, or z. I might be "home" doing it; but this is my job. I *might* be able to babysit for someone. Thankfully no one has asked me to take their sick kid so they can work. I live too far out of the way for that.
"Oh, you home school, which means you do nothing" = uh, NO. It means I do EVERYTHING.
Ranch life is 5-9 but thank God for good hands that help us. I can't imagine juggling my life AND home schooling kids, and trying to nicely talk to folks that think we just sit back, play with kids all day and ride horsies for fun.
No offense to anyone reading but that is SO not the case!! =)
