The problem: need to put up a pole for a satellite dish. Do not own a pickup truck and all three of the people that can usually help aren’t available when I need them. Requires getting an 8 foot fence post and another pipe home. Must also have two kids in the car seats in the back seats, so inside the car is out.

The solution: requires 2 shopping bags and a roll of duct tape. Wrap the duct tape around the pipes to secure them together, then wrap it around the plastic bag repeatedly to make an anchor. Shut the bags in the door and trunk. Put on a ’safety line’ around the mirror and the bars that hold the trunk open. No paint damage or dinging. WooHoo!

Homeschool parent’s primer:

Anyone who is more attentive to their child than I am is a “hover mother”.

Anyone who is less attentive is selfish and neglectful.

Anyone who imposes more rules on kids than we do is rigid and power tripping.

Anyone who imposes less is spoiling the kids and being a doormat.

Any homeschoolers who use more structure and curriculum than we do are control freaks.

Any who use less are irresponsible.

Any kid older than mine is “old enough to know better”.

Until mine is that age, then “he’s just too little to know better”. — Kelly, from SM, a message board
