You know when..

So I've been thinking lately, (a dangerous pastime, I know.) about how many stereotypes I could fit into. I could be your stereotypical Christian girl, youngest child, and single teenager. (last one doesn't matter too much) But the one that's the absolute most fun is being a homeschooler. So lately I've making a list of "you know you're a homeschooler when..." So here's what I have!

You know you're a homeschooler when:

-Your favorite school days are the sacred library trips.

 -You secretly love flipping through the school book catalogs.

 -You are terribly suspicious of "Trips to the park".

 -You're asked 5000 questions about how homeschooling works, and you're prepared for them.

 -You have regular hand cramps and you're secretly proud of it. (search deep down, it's true)

 -Homeschool conventions are the socializing event of the year, the mecca, the ritual. Don't miss it.

 -Your mom makes you talk to complete strangers to show that you're socialized.

-You now talk to strangers for your unsocialized friends.

 -You have no idea what a "spring break" is.

 -You have no idea what any sort of break is for that matter.

 -The worst moment ever was when the public schoolers showed up at a field trip.

 -You own your local playground because lets face it, you spend more time there than anyone else.

 -The floor of your room was, and still is, mostly made of papers.

 -You have spent over 75% of your childhood in pillow forts...doing school.

 -Books are and always will be your escape.

And the grand finale:

 You never get out of your pjs and yes, it's awesome.
