If someone had followed me around with a recording device for the past ohhhh 13 yrs, you would have recordings of me saying things like this countless times: "I am so not cut out for homeschooling. Wow, there are some moms who are really good at homeschooling, I don't know how they do it. I would only homeschool if I absolutely HAD to. Homeschool? Over my dead body....eventually over my kids' dead bodies!"
And here I am, September 7, 2011, on my 2nd day of homeschool. Do I know what I am doing? No bloody way! Am I ready? Not even close! Am I doing it anyway? You bet - bring it ON!
Now, I should clarify, we are doing online school, gov of Alberta curriculum...so it isn't just me. I have a team behind me. Wow, imagine if it WAS just me! Ha!
This year, 2 are in public school and the eldest 2 are home with me. I won't speculate about the years to come. I think the hardest thing about this choice was actually telling my family. They won't say much to me but I can imagine what they say to each other about it! I won't even go there - besides, they live 17 hrs away.
Alright, in the shower I get...bring on Day 2!
