Frolic and Farce: Keeping Hands Busy

Keeping Hands Busy

One day, I went to Savers (thrift shop) and purchased a tape player for $5.

I gave the tape player to my two oldest children, along with several screwdrivers and a pair of scissors.

The two children spent several happy hours taking apart the tape player. During those hours I did things. I don't know what, but things that needed to be done.

It was a happy day for all.

Hello! I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of eight children (ages 13, 11, 10, 7, 5, 3, 1, and 8 months). In my previous existence I taught school--primarily history and English, but also ESL, and, during one bizarre year, math. I started teaching in a middle school where I discovered the hilarity of seventh graders and then later I moved to a high school and taught tenth and eleventh graders. I eventually switched again to the Education Department at Weber State University where I taught several ESL courses and a social studies methods course for elementary teachers. Writing curriculum is one of my passions. Sharing good books is another. Homeschooling--with all the frustration, fulfillment, frolic, and farce that it engenders--is another.
