Tim Hawkins - Homeschool Comedy & Homeschool Blues Song

Homeschool day at Wolf Bay High!

Well we had a wonderful day here at Wolf Bay High... started off with Word Power.   Baby Wolf comes to me and says Mom why do they have to use big words in the Word Power book.  Then they will tell you in different smaller word what the big word means.

I told her its like going to the doctor and he will tell you something you have and you will say ok now speak English he says you have this. Ok why didn't he say that at the beginning.

Because he likes to use the big words to seem important.  So,if you  want people to think you are smart or want to impress them, remember a lot of these words and use them on them.   

So, tonight at the supper table who decide it was good time to try those new big words out.  It was so funny she had us laughing and laughing so hard our sweet tea was going all over. 

Finally her Daddy said ok  young lady why are you using them. She said Mommy said if I want people to think I am smart or to impress them to remember these words so I did and I am using them. 

Daddy Wolf looked at her and ok you are using them now lets see if you are using them in the right way and in the right sentence.. So, the next word she used and put in  a sentence Daddy Wolf looked it up.   Sure enough she was. 

It was so funny... I guess a good way for them to remember something is to tell them if they want to impress someone to use big words.. 

I wonder if this would help her in History.. Guess its worth a try. 

Tired of the Sun!

I really don't like the sun anymore. Its been here just way to long and wouldn't bring me any rain.

I don't know what the state of Texas did to piss mother nature off but whatever, I wish she would get off her band wagon and take the heat and sun some place that needs it.

You know its been along time since I seen rain or heard thunder.

I know, I know we will get it when its time and then we will be crying because it wouldn't stop.. yea that is true. Like the saying goes if doesn't rain it pours.

But, hey can't the weather do something different but shine all the time.

My eyes hurt its to bright outside all time. You know mother nature for all this wonderful sun you are giving us and all this bright light I think you are going to have to pay for some new sun glasses for me, if you don't get off the band wagon soon.

Ok Mother Nature, I am off my band wagon now you get off yours.

People have a lot of nerve!

I sometimes wonder where people get off worry about other peoples business.  Then they the nerve to try and say they know something about your business.


Today I had to go to the dentist took youngest wolf daughter with me. Being a homeschool family we are use to doing things during the day and when we go we bring our school  work with us.  You know homeschoolers never a day with out school.  ( any way that's what the Wolf Daughters always tell me.)

While we were sitting in the waiting room waiting for them to call me back and there were two ladies sitting across from us talking away.  Which is fine with me. 

Anyway youngest wolf daughter started her work and was going away at it.  She ask me a question I went about helping her.  When I was done the lady across from said oh she don't go to school. 

I reply yes ma'am,  she does go to school.  We homeschool her and she just brought her work with her.  She then started with that is so sad when people homeschool they mess there children up so much and those kids get no where in life.  

Well as far as that lady knows when she was going off at the mouth she was going off to the wrong family. 

I put my book down looked her in the eye and said Ma'am I don't know where you got your information on homeschooling but where ever you got it you need to go back to the source and check the information out because what you were told was false.  The lady looked at me and turn every shade of red. 

You know I didn't even feel bad others were listening and usually I do. But, I am so tired of everyone talking so bad about homeschooling and never getting the right information. 

I looked at her and said I homeschool her oldest sister and she is in college doing great and was ask to be a tutor for math and been in college only a month.  So, I guess we are doing something right.  

I then went on to say yes homeschooling is not for everyone, but neither is public school. 







That poor lady teeth fell to the floor.   She looked at me and said I am sorry I shouldn't of said anything.. I said no that is ok.  But, the reason I am telling you this is so your can get your source right.  

She thank me and we left it at that. 

Well I am usually not one to say much but today was just a off day. I am so tired of people jumping into others business. If they know what they are talking about great if not then keep the trap close unless someone opens it or ask you to open it.  

 I was always told if you can't open the trap and have something nice come out of it then don't say nothing at all.


People!

Never Lie to your Mama! It will come back and bite you in the butt.

Too funny not to post! A mother is invited by her son, Anthony, for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Tina. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate is. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Tina and I are just roommates.'' About a week later, Tina came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure. " So he sat down and wrote an email: Dear Mama, I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house; I'm not saying that you "did not" take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, Anthony Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his Mama which read: Dear son, I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Tina, and I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now. Love, Mama. ------ Moral: Never lie to your Mama! LOL.......

Fall!

They say Fall has come.  I wonder where its at?  I think it miss Texas once again. 

Yesterday it 99 out and today its 96 out don't seem like fall to me. 


To me fall is cool weather,  pretty color leaves and no HEAT!   Guess that wouldn't happen here.

Proud to be a homeschool Family!

 I am so proud to say we homeschool and wouldn't have done it any other way. 

This year at Wolf Bay High we went through a lot of changes.  Oldest Wolf Daughter went off to college.    We are so proud and happy for her.  But, sure miss her around the house all the time.

Well today she told us her teacher came to her and ask her if she would like to work there. Yes, a job tutoring other students in Math.   WOW!  we are so happy and proud of her. 

One thing we talked about tonight over dinner. Was you can tell a homeschooler from public school student. Homeschooler can do work with a teacher.  Public School students are lost.   

I don't know if I said it before but we are so proud of her and happy for her.  So, glad to have homeschool her.   Now, I would love to shove a few things in some peoples face who said we would mess her up by homeschooling her.... 

Another Good one.

SHARED FROM A FRIEND IT WAS TOO MEANINGFUL NOT TO PASS ALONG When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his Biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides... a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!" You know, life is full of imperfect things... and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. So...please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burned one will do just fine! And please pass this along to someone who has enriched your life... I just did! Life is too short to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE

Common Sense passed away

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:-Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, do nothing--

Ok Am I old fashion or what?

Ok I have never seen and heard of this been done till the last two years. 


I guess I must be old fashion or something.  


Its potty training your child.    I have seen two families I knew very well that let there children run around naked all day long and pee and do there job where ever and think its funny. Or they get upset with the child because they have to clean more.  (make them go to the pot in the bathroom). Like normal people do.

What happen with potty training the right way?    Yes a child can run around the house naked to help them learn.  But, when people come to your door what happen with putting clothes on the child.  What happen with some privacy?  


Wow, then you go to there house it smells like a out house and they wonder why you don't come back.  Wolf Daughters will not go to one friends house because no matter what time we come her young boy is always naked and sits there playing with his thing.  My stars get some pants on that boy or send him to his room to play with it.  


One other house we go too, they let the kids pee on the couches and put towels on it thinking that will help. 


What happen with using the bathroom for what it was made for.. 

I am really lost at it.   They both tell me its the only way there children will go to the bathroom. You call that bathroom. On kids pee on couches, other pees in fans or behind couches, that's not using the bathroom.  That's living like pigs.

You know the saying.........

You know the saying when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade with the wonderful lemons.

 I have heard that saying so many times.  Its so true.  You have to be strong and keep moving. Don't give up no matter what anyone says.  


Don't stop doing something when you know you can do it and you are doing the best thing for you and your family.


I have told by so many people, I couldn't homeschool the Wolf Daughters. If I had a penny for every time I was told that  I could of bought the state of Texas.   


Yes, its nice to listen to people, hear what they have to say but when they talk so negative all the time then its time to move on and move those kind of people out of your life.  Say, to yourself you and your family are better without them. 


Believe me I had to do that a few times with some people. I think its because we try to hard and would do anything for anyone.  No I wouldn't walk a fine line for you. We are who are. 
We aren't perfect but who is?  There is only one perfect person and he is above. 
We do make mistakes, but hey isn't that life to live and learn.

We are here to learn everyday.  


So, until you walk my walk, been in my shoes don't judge us.  Give us a change we are great family with hearts as big as Texas and will do anything for anyone.   But, don't come in right away judges us by what we say we all have our opinions we sat and listen to yours now listen to ours.  (If you don't like it that is fine.  We more then likely didn't like yours either)   But, we wouldn't judge you we know you have your opinion and its ok.  Its a free world.  (right now anyway). 


Wolf Family has been through there share of down and ups but we come to the point that its life and we have to deal with it.  Like I said in the being when life gives you lemons make lemonade and that is what we have done many times. 

Darn things kids say!

This happen a few years back when Oldest Wolf Daughter was a toddler and we were talking about it the other day and laughed so hard. 


We were in line at Wally World checking out.  Daddy Wolf put some diapers up on the belt for Youngest Daughter Wolf, then he put my monthly pads up on the belt. 

Oldest Wolf Daughter said very loud:  Daddy why does sissy have two kinds of diapers.  
Daddy Wolf said:  they aren't both not for sissy, one is for sissy and one is for mommy. 

Oldest Wolf Daughter looked lost then out of the mouths of babies really loud. 


Oh I get it Daddy, sissy and mommy are both babies they both go potty in there pants so they both need diapers.  We are big aren't we daddy. 

I turned around red as a beet and all the people in line behind us were laugh, along with the check out lady.  

This shows you, that you never know what will come out of the mouths of little ones.

Woke up to the sound of rain!

It does rain in south Texas.. might not be for long but it does rain. 

Woke up to the sound of thunder and lighting... wow that was so cool.  Then it open up and pour for about twenty minutes.  Open windows just to hear it and smell it. Been so long forgot what it was like.


I know it wouldn't take care of the drought we have but every little bit helps. 


Sure sound and look nice..

No Privacy!

What ever happen with Privacy?   Where did it go?  

Man you go to check out in any store and people just push you a long..  I am being to hate to use my debit card there, its hard to put your numbers in with out the next person right on top of you. 

I always stand in line and stay way back, so the person in front get have there privacy. Well the other day when I was at Wally World I was staying back with my cart so the lady in front could do her business.   The person behind me said aren't you go to move up, I reply really nicely as soon as she is done with her business.  She said well that is funny and dumb.   I looked at her and said nicely once again by me moving right up on top of her will not get us out the door any faster.  The lady behind me said whatever. 

Ok! What ever.   What happen to letting people have there private time and putting numbers in without people looking over you.   

When I got up there, she was right on top me. Standing right beside the machine when I was using it.   I stop what I was doing look her right in the eyes and said if you don't mind I would like to have some privacy.  She gave me a look and said like I want your number.  I said you might not but someone else might so excuse me and the sooner you back off and the sooner we get this done and we both are out the door or I will stand here till you decide to back off some.   

I know I made her upset,  but if any of you use those machine know they are not that safe and with someone right on top of you it doesn't make it easy. 

What happen with people being nice and waiting there turn? 

Why is everyone always in a hurry?  (To get where?)

RV Living: Part 1

Well I will talk a little about RV living and homeschooling while you travel. 

It all started when Daddy Wolf came home and said he was going to travel for work.  I said not without us.  So, we went shopping for a RV that would hold 4 of us and two dogs. 

We had so much fun looking and picking out one that would work. That's the beginning of homeschooling. The girls had to help us with math and numbers. To see which RV was worth the money.  Then add taxes and all the stuff to it to see if it would work for us.  We finally found the right one and off we went.  

Our first state was the south away from the cold winters in the north.  While we were traveling to different states we need to be. We made school on the road fun.  They learned how to read a map.  How long it would take us to get from A to B?   How many miles it was from A to B?  Then they learn how to figure out gas mileage, to how far we could go on a full tank of gas and when we should start looking for a place to get more gas.

We also stopped at a lot of the wonderful places a long the way to site see. I will tell you people at these places were wonderful. Once they found out we homeschool they took both Wolf Daughters under there wings and really showed them the places. In the back of many places, up and close.  What a wonderful time they had and sure learned a lot while having fun.  (Shhh, don't tell them that they were learning they thought it was fun).  

Isn't it fun to learn sometime and having so much fun you don't know you are learning and doing school.   That's the joy of homeschooling.  Take your child by the hand and showing them things they wouldn't see if they were in a public school. 

Schooling in the RV wasn't hard it was fun. We always make school fun to some degree. Some things you have to learn are just hard to make fun to do. But, you know its something you have to do and once you do it, its not bad. 

We had a special place we keep all our homeschool books and other reading books. We always made room in the RV for books. 

Wolf Daughters loved books and loved learning through them.   They both love to read, so that made teaching them a lot easier. 

 

I get ask Why do I homeschool alot!

That's another good question I get ask all the time.  Why do I homeschool?  

Well one of the reason I homeschool is Daddy Wolf was traveling for his work and we wanted to stay with him so we bought a 40 foot RV and away we went.  We seen so much of the world and the Daughter Wolfs learn so much.    (Will post more later on living, traveling and schooling in a RV)

Another reason is I didn't want my daughters to go through what I went through in the public school.  It wasn't good. 

I grew up in a very large family with a father would drank and was loud.  So, I got pick on about that a lot. Like it was my fault.  I was teased and teased.  I remember nights going to bed crying myself to sleep and saying why is everyone so mean to me.  I'm not the one drinking and being mean. 


Like I said we were a large family there was 11 of us total.  As I said earlier my father was a drinker so we had no money for extra things or clothes.  All our clothes were seconds. I don't ever remember in my childhood ever having a new piece of clothing.  I was never in style never.  I was clean that was for sure we always bath.  But, that never stop others from picking on me, calling me names saying bad things.  Because I didn't have the right clothes or make up on.

I hated school so much and many times wish I would die just so I didn't have to go there and put up with another day of name calling and other kids doing things to my locker that weren't nice.   Or putting me in cart that they keep balls in and locking it, then rolling me in the  boys locker room and I getting in trouble for it.  Like yea I put myself in there and yea I lock it and rolled my self down the stairs.   


I cried and cried for days. I remember when prom came I wanted to go so bad I mean really bad I dream about it.  I dream I was dress up like Cinderella going to the ball.  I dream I was pick to be the queen. Wow!  what a neat dream.   That's all it was a  dream nothings else. Would I get picked or asked from anyone to go.  NO!  No way was anyone going to ask a low life person out. Or be seen with a low life person. 

 You know the saying if you call someone something so much they being to believe it.  Well that is where I was in life I believed for along time I was nothing. I wasn't worth the spot on earth.  Yea, I believe it. Why? You ask because being called day after day it beings to stick to you. 


The day I graduated from high school. Was one of the happiest days of my life.  I went up got my diploma and left the school and town and never turn back or went bad. Never once went to a class reunion or anything.   Why?  to many bad memories.   Who likes to live them?  Why do I want to go back and be called names now.  Not worth it.


I could go on and on and write a book about all the things that happen to me in public school. How it well was hard for me to trust or get on with life, but I wouldn't bore you all.  


But, that is the reason I homeschool my girls.  I rather them have a happier time and not all the name calling and drama because you don't wear the right thing or because someone else in your family does something that you have no control in life of. 




Many times when I hear the song "Mean by Taylor Swift," I think wow what a great song if only I heard it when I was public school I would of played it for others to hear and sit and listen to it.  It's so true. Great song if you all get time go look it on u tube and listen to it carefully.  Great song.

Wolf Daughters!

We have two of the best daughters in the world. 

Today Daddy Wolf and I decide to lay down for a nap.  When we got up went to  check on the daughters they both were in there room working on school work.  (Without be told).


Oldest Wolf Daughter was doing her math for college... Youngest Wolf Daughter was working on her high school work that I have given her.  I try and lay out a weeks worth of work and she can work a head if she wants and understand it. 

Its so nice waking up and seeing they care about there work.

Socialization!

One of the big question I get ask all the time from people when they hear I home school what about socialization.  I  call it the S word. 

Tell several people if I could have a penny for how many times I been ask about the S word I could buy the state of Texas and more. 


Well Socialization  is a big word and one thing you don't have to do is feel sorry for homeschooler they get more socialization then the parent does.  There are tons and tons of things for them to do.  There are several homeschool groups and they go on field trips.  There are boy scouts, girl scouts, FFA  and the list goes on and on. 

I never gave it a second thought when I started homeschooling about the social part of it. There was just so much out there and so many things to do.

One thing I learn is the Wolf Daughters know how to socialization with people of all ages.  Not just there peers. They are in groups with children of all ages.  Older adults and younger ones.  

My Daughters have never had trouble getting out and talking to anyone. Its the other way around getting them to stay home. 

So, I don't think socialization would be  a worry for many homeschool families.

I think its just something people ask.. to get into your life to see why you started homeschooling. 

What does homeschool mean to you?

I been ask that question so many times its not funny. 

What does homeschool mean to you?  Well it can mean many different things to people.  I think it's what you want to get out of it. 

I homeschool the Wolf Daughters because Daddy Wolf was traveling for work and in order for us to be with him we had to go.  We bought a 40 foot rv and away we went. Seen and learn so much it wasn't funny. 

I enjoy homeschooling the Wolf Daughters watching them learn and get things. So, when Daddy Wolf decided he was done traveling and took a permit job in one place we just keep right on homeschooling.  We enjoyed it so much. 

There is so much joy into homeschooling.   Yes, I will be truthful there is a lot of heart aches too. But, hey what job don't give you heart aches.   It comes with life. 

We learn so much together as a family and stay so close by homeschooling. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Pray for the Lonestar State of Texas!

 Family and friends, the state of Texas needs your prayers. We are in desperate need of rain. There are acres and acres of wildfires burning out of control, people are losing everything they own. Please stand with all of us in agreement for the rain but also for all those who are being affected by these fires. May God give them the strength, peace, and faith to carry on. God Bless Texas!

 

 

I heard today on the radio that so much land has burnt in the state of Texas. The size of Connecticut. Wow thats alot gone. 

Over 500 homes lost at last count. 


Come on rain. Please come to us.

Cold Food!

Ok I am weird. Or I should say we are weird here at Wolf Bay High. 


We love day old cold pizza oh its so good. 
Cold bacon 
Left over popcorn you made the night before. 


The list can go on and on.   


I know it sounds gross but its really is great.  


I don't know if its because all the seasonings have worked into the food or what?

Coupons! (I'm Learning)

I'm learning more and more every day about coupons.   There's a lot to learn. 

One thing is they are getting harder and harder to come by.  

I watch a lot of those programs on tv and I wonder what do they feed the children they always show rooms full of soap and toothpaste.   Not much food.  I'm sure they have fun. Just saying.

I grow up poor very poor and was taught to only buy what you need don't get any more then that. 

So, that is something I am learning to do. Its ok to buy a few extra if you have the money in the bank to do it.   But, I will not be like some of those people that have to take over rooms to put there coupon food and things in. 

I remember when my Grandma was a live.  She coupon back then and had three freezer full of meats and things.  When we had to go clean things out when they moved her to the nursing home I could believe some of the things were so out dated I mean out dated.  Like ten years or more.  All that good food had to thrown out. So, sad.


Where does one person or family get they  need that much stuff.  I don't get it. 

I  heard from other coupon people that the reason coupons are getting are hard because people are over using them and they are losing big time.  

I wish people wouldn't do that.  But, I guess its there life and we all have to have a hobby of some kind or other.   

I hope to get better at coupons and learning its ok to use  them and buy a couple more then we need to stack up some. 

Ok Mr. Sun

Ok  Mr. Sun.   I do like you but enough is enough.   I think its time for you to go shine on someone else for a while.  We will miss you and hope you come back some time later. 

Its been a long hot and dry summer down in Texas.  I know you are suppose to be careful what you wish for.  

But, I really can't tell you the last time I seen a all day nice gentle rain with some clouds in the sky. 

Seems like we live in a bubble and I want some thing different. 


 Almost like when you go on vacation to get away from everything. That is what I am telling the sun to do to go on vacation. 

My yard and flowers sure could use some days with out hot and dry.

I never thought I would ask the sun to leave for awhile but this is getting old.  Its not that we don't like you sun.  I know we have to have you to live, to make things grow.  But, we do need rain too.

School Day!

Had another wonderful school day at Wolf Bay High!..   Another week down.   Wow!  They seem to go fast this year.  

 Youngest Wolf Daughter is doing Word Power this year and they have some really big words in there. 

Youngest Wolf Daughter:  Mom when do you ever use big words. 

Mama Wolf:  When you want to impress someone.


Youngest Wolf Daughter:  Ok I think I will be simple and not impress people.  There are some big words in here. 


Mama Wolf:  Nice try but keep going some day you may use and need these words.   Keep going. 


Youngest Wolf Daughter:  Ok I will try these words out on the supper table tonight.  


Mama Wolf:  Ok!  Use them the right way.  


Youngest Wolf Daughter:  How do you know I use them right, you might not  know the words yourself. 


Mama Wolf:  I will look them up after you use them to see if you used them right if I don't know them.   ( That little girl is always one step ahead of me. )

Getting there!

Went to doctor again today and he said we are getting there but still have a ways to go. Wants us to do more treatment and see him in two weeks. 

Car is still in driveway waiting to get everything settle.  It all takes time.  

I am so thankful everyday none of us were killed or hurt worst.  Yes, we are in a lot of pain but hey we can handle it we are alive and kicking that's the main thing. 

Both wolf daughters are back in school and both doing great.
