"How does a homeschooler change a lightbulb?"
First, Mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.
Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.
Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.
On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.
Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged in from the woods, the light bulb is installed, and there is light.
Yeah baby - homeschooling ROCKS! LOL

No longer a virgin...
It's my first time, so be gentle with me! I've never blogged before. No, I'm not kidding! I know it's hard to believe that someone of my age has never blogged, but it's true. Never ever, not even a little bit.
But I think it's time I did, and I think I'm ready. So, let's have at it!
I hope I'm able to make a few people smile, because people need to lighten up and enjoy life more. So, that's my mission - to make you smile. To try to show you the silver lining, the light in the darkness, the fun in dysfunctional. If you look hard enough, there's always something to smile about. To take it to a more spiritual viewpoint, I'm all about sending out positive vibrations, positive karma, happy happy joy joy, into the universe. That's what I can do to make this world a little better.
So, that being said, let me finish off this first ever blog of mine with my all time favorite joke.
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one, but the light bulb really has to want to change.
