    I homeschool my youngest daughter, but have a lot of respect for those who have multiple children of different ages that they teach at the same time! TV makes it look a lot easier than it probably was! But I'm sure you could have made it work! :)

    I love traveling, so that would be fun! And I loved how fun and sneaky the nuns were in The Sound of Music!

    Same! But our lives would be so much harder! I definitely have respect for those who have come before us, paving this path!

    That's fun! I wouldn't be protesting, but driving a van or big bus (Camper) around would be fun!

    Construct or design cathedrals would be a really neat job! Would you make them as ornate as they are now? I would design castles with secret rooms or hidden passageways (that would be helpful if there was ever an attack).

    I would either live in Wyoming where women have held the right to vote since 1870 or be in trouble because I was helping with the underground railroad and freeing slaves.

    If I went back too far, I'd be burned as a witch. Because I'm not good at keeping my mouth shut.

    @dotcomkari I couldn't go back to the 1970's - I would totally be a serial killer's victim or in a cult like Manson's. I hear about how many of them are charming and picking up hitchhiker's - yep. I'd be the hippie on the missing posters. :giggle

    Same!

    And same! Although I've always said that I enjoy teaching my own children...but not others...LOL! I do tutor a GREAT class of 7th/8th graders that I love.

    I've always thought Jane Austen's time might be neat...if I was upper class. LOL!

    this totally made me smile, realism and all, but if i had to choose btwn witch and subserviant, unentitled to an education maid, i think you're on the right track - i think i'd rather be Maleficent if you've seen her back story movie than a Cinderella type, even with a slight chance of a random ball and prince.

    I would like to go back to the 1940's, after the war or early 1950's. My faith, my attitude about family, and my joy about being a stay-at-home Mom would make me feel right at home. I love the music, the fashion, the entertainment - and I think I'd be perfectly at home and happy.
