I am so amused at what I learn DAILY from my children.
Just when you think you know 'em...
Math. I hate it. Granted, once I decided to go to college at age 23, I decided Algebra was NOT my enemy and actually CHOSE to take college level Algebra/Trigonometry after passing my intro class with an "A". BUT, I still hate it.
Simply because Hannah is a girl - like me, right? - I naturally assumed she, too, would hate math. NOT so. In fact, she loves it so much that when I announced that our official school year would start the day after Labor Day (after protest about starting ON Labor Day), Hannah chimed in with, "Well, can I start my math now?"
She sat down and did about 12 pages yesterday. And 2 more so far today. Amazing. Especially to a mother who would not "choose" to do math - ever.
So, that means I can't complain about her spending her last (rainy) days of summer glued to the TV, right? I guess not. :-)

OK, so I'm a lurker too. =^)
Eeww! is right about Math. I hate it too. As a matter of fact, Math questions are left for dh when he gets home from work or the weekend. This really works out great because he wants to be a part of their schooling so it helps fill a void with him.
BTW....I'm so glad we feel the same way about vaccines. I felt a little weird about mentioning it thinking you would think I was crazy, but now after reading your blog I see you really agree. Yipee! Awesome posts BTW!

12 pages of math?
go Hannah
(as long as I dont have to do them... lol)
we did our first day here too
Lisa did 6 pages of math- but for 1st grade it still wasnt a lot of work ; )
Glad to know I am in the company of other homeschoolers who don't enjoy math! I'm glad that Hannah didn't get that gene from me.
Hey Kim :) Nope you aren't the only one. Amanda also hates it. We'll eventually get started.. sometime this month, hopefuly.. maybe? LOL See ya later today at the picnic!
