my brain is full
of the ice age. of mesoamerica. of abc's. of algebra. of long division. of preschool and high school. did i really MEAN to have 5 kids? do i really WANT to homeschool them?! my fear is that it won't be good enough. luckily, i'm married to a scholar. he pulls up the slack. he checks the math at 10:00 at night. luckily, i have a GREAT co-op. all of the classes that i don't feel comfortable teaching (most of high school:)) can be taken there. in truth, i do love teaching my kids myself. i love seeing their enthusiasm when they learn something new. i crack up at my older son's ability to be smarter than me. i am challenged by my 6th graders questions. like, "i'm not sure if i can do this curriculum if it doesn't have a christian view point". HUH? you don't even go to church...what is your problem? the best part is that i am thinking more than i ever have. my brain is full. i get to re-learn all of those things i forgot. can i get a new transcript?!

My mom home schooled all 5 of us kids. It can be done. Actually my mom home schooled a total of 8 different kids over the years. (she gave up when it was time for high school though and sent us all to a Christian school.)
and i can see from your photo that you turned out okay:)
seriously, it's good to know that there are success stories out there! that's why i like hanging out with my homeschool mom friends. wow, 8 kids. that's wild. i'd like to meet your mom!
Oh yes. those full brains. Well, it's a mixture of full brain vs. mushy brain, so I guess it all evens out. Whatever that means (I have mushy brain tonight!)
Somehow your blog fell off my google reader and I've missed posts!
I'm signing Nora up tomorrow for computer school. You're a much better mom than I am.
