From Quiet Life: "Name five things that you ARE crazy about that most people would think you're weird for."
1. Homelearning. This was Donna's #1, and it's mine, too. People are always amazed, giving me comments like, "Can you do that?" and "How can you do that?" and "I could never do that."
2. I don't have television reception. We rent DVDs through Netflix, but have no cable, no dish, no Teevo. Nada. And life actually goes on.
3. I have five kids and if I were a better person, I'd be ready for more. I'm impatient, often grumpy and not nearly momlike enough for my tastes. But if I could be, I'd have a dozen kids. Really. And, no, I'm not Catholic. And, yes, I know what causes them.
4. I love life in the country. Friends and neighbors from the city often ask how we can live "out in the sticks." The thing is, though, I have to drive half as long to get to the grocery store as most of my city companions, and I get to look at beautiful scenery and wildlife along the way instead of concrete and broken glass. Plus, I love that I can have animals in the country. We have four dogs, a few cats, a couple of fish, three turtles, four birds, a goat and a chameleon. On the way are more chickens and a couple of bunnies.
5. I enjoy large gatherings. The energy I draw from having a bunch of people around me is rejuvenating.
What five things do you love that other people claim are insane?
