Awkward! or How Amazingly Inept Rachel Can Be

Unless I spelled that wrong, awkward is a really awkward looking word actually...  I just used the spell-checker and I spelled it right. 

I, in general am an awkward person.  Don't worry I am going to pull up a thesaurus and find an nice synonym for the word so I can stop repeating it.

When I eat, I am incredibly clumsy.  I ALWAYS seem to end up wearing something that I was eating, either that or the floor ends up wearing part of my meal/snack. 

Watching me dance would be hilarious as "two left feet" doesn't even begin to describe me.  I'm always trying to do dance workouts, because they look more fun than the average cardio exercise.  They probably are more fun, but I am always a step behind and waving my arms around like an idiot.  Hopefully Michael never leaves me so I need to get a job as a stripper, because not only do I avoid being naked whenever possible, but my act would involve going on stage, taking off my clothes, covering my dirty bits and running crying off stage (probably to some awesome butt rock song like Girls, Girls, Girls).  Now I have never been to a strip club, but I watch alot of TV and from what I have seen, that is not what you are supposed to do.  I guess I might get drunk and fall off stage instead...

I am not only physically bumbling, but socially as well.  I just don't know what to do.  I want people to like me, I really do.  Which is strange because in general I don't like people when I first meet them, but I still need them to like me.  To avoid people NOT liking me, I just don't talk to them.  Kinda counter-productive considering that probably makes most people think I am a snobby bitch, when really I just would rather have them not like me for assuming I am a bitch, then really getting to know me and not liking me for more personal reasons.

Even social interaction with people I know and like sometimes makes me uncomfortable.  Like I would love more friends considering (if you don't count facebook or people I talk to if I run into them) I have two friends, one of whom I hardly see because I am to cheap to use up my gas and to lazy to drive all that way by myself anyways.  But I can't just ask people over, what if they say no?  What if it turns out that they don't actually like me, they are just pretending?  What if they say yes, then it ends up we have nothing to talk about and just sit around avoiding eye contact?  What if I invite them to dinner and they hate my cooking?  Alot of things can go wrong when you are trying to make new friends.  Or I am guessing it can, I have not actually tried in years.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children.  This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children.  Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
