There are many useful words that homeschoolers need to know. Very few are more useful than no.
Specifically for the myriad of activites in the real world and on line that can pop up. A good healthy dose of no is very needed.
A short post today, because I said yes to more than I could handle.
I love a good catch phrase. It probably comes from spending my formative years watching 70's t.v. it seems each show had at least one good catch phrase. But instead of merely being happy with Dyn-o-mite, Heyyyy! or Shaz-bot, I like to make my own catchphrase. A few years ago I took to inserting the word llama into every conversation I got into, much to the chagrin of my children. It got so bad that somehow I agreed to paying them 5 cents each time I said llama in a month long period. The kids played a terriffic joke on me when they asked me to read 2 bedtime stories to them, and pulled out Is Your Mama a Llama and Llama, llama red pajama which their co-conspirator, Amy took out from the library. After the month we were all richer for the experience, them literally and me figuratuvely.
So when I was trying to figure out what to post about today, I thought back to my carefree llama days of yore. I also found this cool video on you-tube where they make a song out of Is your mama a llama.
That must have caught a pretty penny to produce. Not to mention the nickels.

Today is my 14th wedding anniversary. Yes 14 years today I woke up as a single man and went to bed as a married man. There has been good and bad in my life since that day. But the truth is that our life really has been a joyful jumble.
I found out that the traditional 14th anniversary gift is Ivory while the modern 14th gift is gold. Both these songs are golden oldies and notice that Barney is tickling the ivories in the video below.
AS IN NO
