A few days ago, I gave readers the chance to ask me anything they wanted to know about me. If you have a question for “the Mom” then there’s still time to ask.
Therese asked:
what is your favourite thing about having many children?

The laughter. I laugh more at myself, at the weird things they do and say, and at life in general. They bring so much joy to our house. So, yeah, the laughter.

What is your worse thing about it? The constant mess. I am definitely not going to win any prizes for my housekeeping abilities, and to tell you the truth I am this close to declaring it a losing battle.

If you had $1,000,000 dollars what would you spend it on? The real me would pay off the house, save money for the kids’ college, and invest the rest. The fun part of me would love to take the Computer Guy on the honeymoon we never got. I would love to see Australia, Therese. Do you think we’d like it?

That will do for starters.
If I think of any more over the weekend I will come back and ask a few.

Kim asked:
What advice and wisdom do you have to share with those who are newer to homeschooling? Be gentle with your little ones. You aren’t going to get it all done in one day, so learn to let it go. Relax and enjoy your children while they are children. They will learn the math and the reading and that Mom loves them completely. Those are equally important and we sometimes forget that in our focus on academics.

What about homeschooling middle school?Teach them to be self-directed. At middle school age they should be able to self-regulate a bit. If not, then they need to learn it. Learning how to learn and how to keep yourself on task is the most important thing they learn at this time. Put it together with organization and you’re pretty good.

And how old are you? (just sneakin’ that one in…) Shame on you, for asking me that! j/k 34

Peace asked:
what’s your favorite color? Weird that I don’t know that!
red, bright hot lipstick red

Rachel asked:
But, how about, if you could, would you go back and change something about your past life, or would you leave it as is, since changing the past, changes our present?
I vacillate back and forth on this one. There are some things I certainly wish that I had not done. How about I would not let anyone take pictures of me doing those things? It wouldn’t change the future except the photographic evidence wouldn’t be floating around.

And I would give myself investment advice, when to sell and when to buy. I could be a billionaire today with that kind of knowledge.

What is the best book you’ve read in the last five years (we know you’re a SAHM, homeschooling, and you’ve just moved–so I know putting in the last year might be too confining.. 😉 )–fiction and non-fiction?
My two favorite fiction books are Gone With the Wind and The Godfather. I re-read them at least once a year, so they would rank right up there. My favorite new read has been the Christ the Lord series by Anne Rice.

My favorite non-fiction was Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader by William Walsh. It was an interesting look at the Inquisition and told it from the Catholic point of view, which was not what I learned in school. Plus it was heavily researched and had lots of footnotes. I love non-fiction with footnotes.
