You know you're a homeschool mom when...

1. Your neighbors (and friends) think you are insane.
2. If you get caught talking to yourself, you can claim you're having a PTA meeting.
3. Talking out loud to yourself IS a parent-teacher conference.
4. You've laughed out loud when someone asked you "What about socialization?"
5. Your relatives are always "quizzing" your children.
6. Your formal dining room now has a computer, copy machine, and many book shelves and there are educational posters and maps all over the walls.
7. Your bank statement reflects the fact that you spend more on books than at fancy clothing stores.
8. You DREAM of a room (or even a whole house!) with wall to wall, ceiling to floor bookshelves.
9. You ask for, and get, a copier instead of a diamond tennis bracelet for your wedding anniversary.
10. You are on a first name basis with the majority of local librarians.
11. You have a line item in your budget for overdue book fines.
12. Your kids think reading history is best accomplished while lying on the floor with their head resting on the side of their patient dog.
13. If your child claims the dog ate his homework, you can ask the dog.
14. You can't make it through a movie without pointing out the historical inaccuracies.
15. You have to add the words: "homeschool, homeschooler, and homeschooling" to your computer's spell checker so it will stop marking them as wrong.
16. The teacher gets to kiss the principal in the faculty lounge and no one gossips.
17. You can't put your produce in your cart without asking your older student to estimate it's weight and verify accuracy.
18. Your children actually enjoy spending time with their family, even their siblings!
19. You take off for a teacher in-service day because the principal needs clean clothes.
20. The only debate about the school lunch program is whose turn it is to cook.
21. Your children never, ever leave the "why?" stage.
