The Homeschool Misfit Awards- It's Voting Time!

I love the response and participation in The Homeschool Misfit Blog Awards!  There is a wonderful mix of homeschoolers here, and what we all have in common is the realization that we're not superhero homeschoolers.  We're the everyday folk who are doing their best to provide a homemade, individualized education for our families but don't always feel like we fit into the stereotypical homeschool image. We're proud to call ourselves The Homeschool Misfits!

At the close of this contest, everyone will receive a handy dandy button for your blogs to identify yourself as a Misfit.  The winners of each category will have one personalized with their category. A "Vote for Me!" button is available at the bottom of this post.  If you're a nominee, feel free to post it prominently on your own site!

I'm not sure how to create a super duper poll style voting form, and it took a lot longer than I thought it would to list all of these great blogs, so the voting form is in the same style as the nomination form.  Simply visit the blogs listed, copy the URL of the one you'd like to vote for, and paste it under the correct category on the form. One vote per person, per category please!

Now have fun visiting these blogs and making new bloggy friends!  And be sure to vote by clicking HERE.  Voting will close on November 30th.

The Wannabe Award 

This is for the homeschool parent who wants to be this or that (Classical, Structured, Relaxed, Unschooler, Free Spirit, Sane) but frequently falls short and is not afraid to admit it.  "Here's where I want to be, here's where I am, and I'm going to keep on striving."

The "Squirrel" Award

 "Wait, weren't we supposed to be studying Abraham Lincoln?  How'd we end up talking about the chemical properties of Styrofoam?"  This is the homeschool blogger who begins her posts on one topic and then takes off in several different directions.  ADHD anyone?

The Harried Homeschooler Award "Good thing I don't neglect my kids like I do my blog."  or "Who are all these kids and why are they wanting my attention when I'm trying to blog?".  This is the blogger who has every intention of blogging regularly, but life just gets in the way sometime.  Her family expects regular meals.  What's up with that?

The Perfect Procrastinator Award 

"I really should write that thought provoking piece about world hunger/child discipline/spiritual growth/etc. but I'd rather play on Facebook.  Here's a cute puppy photo instead."  Some bloggers have turned procrastination into an art form.  Quit procrastinating and vote!

Too Busy Blogging Award

The opposite of The Harried Homeschooler, this blogger posts at least once a day, if not more.  It's an addiction. Like coffee, only not as tasty.
