Why I haven't been posting

Today I was sent this song via e-mail. If you are familiar with Veggie Tales, just sing it to the tune of "We Are The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything." This song describes how I'm feeling about now. It seems that everything is starting at once. Gene's ministry changes, along with a new curriculum that I'm working on, as well as daily life. As you can see, I haven't done the posts I have been wanting to and I am hoping they will come this week. Have a fun time singing this song. I'm sure we could come up with some other verses to go along with it.



We Are The Homeschool Moms Who Can't Do Everything


All 3 Moms:
We are the home school moms who can't do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We'll just tell you
We can't do everything
Mom2:
Well, I've never been to Boston and I've never shot a musket,
and I've never built a cabin using nothing but an axe,
and I've never skinned a possum, and I've never staged a battle,
and I've never started home school before fall!
All:
We are the home school moms who can't do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We'll just tell you...
Mom3:
We can't do everything!
And I've never distilled water, and I've never banded birdies,
and I've never built an ant farm 'cuz I can't stand things that
crawl,
and I've never dug a fossil, and I've never owned a test tube,
and I've never started home school before fall!
All:
We are the home school moms who can't do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We'll just tell you
We can't do everything
Mom1:
And I've never slaughtered chickens, and I've never milked a go-oat,
and I've never gone to 4-H or the local county fair,
and I've never sewn a jumper, and I don't look good in denim,
and I've never started home school before fall!
Mom2: Huh? What are you talking about? What's a milk goat and denim
jumpers got to do with being a home school mom?
Mom3: Hey, that's right! We're supposed to sing about academic-y thi
ngs!
Mom1: Oh...
Mom2: And who ever sews school uniforms? That's impossible! Why even
bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?
Mom3: I think you should do your laundry.
Mom2: Huh? Why do you think that?
Mom3: You should...
Mom2: Don't wanna!
Mom3: You wore that shirt yesterday!
Mom2: That's it, you're going to help me!
Mom3: Says who?
Mom2: Says ME, that's who!
Mom3: Oh yeah? Well I'm not picking up your socks! (pinches her own
nose)
Mom2: Argh!
Mom3: Yike!
Mom1:
And I've never done gymnastics, and I've never danced the polka,
and I've never painted daisies 'cause I cannot paint at all,
and I've never made a schedule, and my house is never perfect...
Mom2: It'll never happen!
All: And we've never started home school before fall!
We are the home school moms who can't do everything
We just stay at home and plan a lot
And if you ask us to do everything
We'll just tell you
We can't do everything
Mom2: Pass the pencils! Who's got the teacher's guide?
Mom1: Here it is! (holds up shredded paper)
Mom3: (groans, then smiles with sudden inspiration) Time for recess!
Mom2: It's definitely time for Scotch tape.
Mom3: Oh, I don't like that stuff...
Mom1: Hey, look! I found a crayon!
