We homeschooling mothers are always looking for ways to incorporate learning into daily activities. Why, even a trip to Wail-Mart can pose an opportunity for stretching those cerebral muscles. Case in point….
A mother leaves WailMart with 4 cranky children, one of whom needs a diaper change. She just found out that the birthday party she thought was tomorrow actually starts in 1 hour and is approximately 30 miles away, but will require a 15 mile drive home first in the opposite direction. If organic milk costs $5.99 per gallon, and a one-gallon jug falls 3 feet from the back door of the Suburban, splitting open on the parking lot below, and the milk flows out from the jug at a rate of 1 liter every 10 seconds, how many glasses of wine will Mommy need when Daddy gets home from work?

We are in the process of adopting a little girl with Down syndrome from Eastern Europe. If not adopted by the age of 4, orphans with Down syndrome are transferred to mental institutions, where they typically die within the first year from trauma and neglect.
