Ha ha ha ha. Don't worry. I'm not really going to homeschool. No one call DSS.
Last night Jake was up several times. Without going into too much detail (but I'm a mom of small kids--I'll gladly give you details if you want them), I was worried that he might have a stomach bug, so I kept him home today to be on the safe side.
Apparently he's fine. He's been running all over the place, playing with/tormenting Annie (and me), getting out toys...just like it's a weekend. He suggested this morning, "Maybe we could homeschool."
??
I told him that sure, we could homeschool for today. But you know, there are laws saying he needs to go to school. I know, I lied. Technically we could homeschool. But I'm pretty sure there is some sort of law out there dealing with moms who go psycho when their five-year-olds won't listen while they're homeschooling. So I didn't actually lie, I'm protecting the kid. Anyway, it's all a moot point because when I explained to him that homeschooling meant we'd be writing and reading and learning things like he does at school (instead of watching Disney Channel all day), he changed his mind.
"Not today," he said, "I'm feeling too lazy."
Me too, kid. Me too.
He has also said today that he misses school. When I asked what he missed most, he said he wished he could go play secret agents with his friend Luke on the playground. And since Luke's mom reads this blog, I thought I'd write that here. :)

So I'm not the only one who thinks they would positively be suicidal if they homeschooled?? I feel much better now :)
He is so honest! I loved that he was just feeling lazy today! Don't we all :)
