O.K., I show these honor awards not to brag by any means, but for two reasons.  First, I'm praying about something I never thought I would...home schooling.  It scares me to death to think I'd be responsible to teach my children all the math and science facts that they need to get by.  I reminded myself this morning that I did graduate with honors, so maybe I could (Even though I have no idea what those honors really mean!).   Second, I just wanted to show all my highschool buds that airheads can make it!  :)
On a more serious note, I would love any advice that you experienced home school moms have to offer. 
By the way, if you read my earlier post about all that I endured to get the bright blue gum out of my kids mouth, while they were asleep, in order to prevent cutting curls....

Carmen had a little time-out time on her bed after school yesterday, she fell asleep and that's the result.  Oh well!

Girl, do what God is leading you towards. Homeschooling is awesome and I'm thinking of doing it again when Kennedy is in 3rd. I learned so much in two years. Probably more than my son did. You, and I mean "You" are your child best teacher. You're teaching them everyday. The key for me, discipline and lesson plans. Go with curriculums that work for your family situation. It's a big world out there...ask lots of homeschool moms and check out Cathy Duffy's picks for homeschooling.....You Can Do It!

Hi Marci, I have enjoyed reading your blog. I am so happy for you and Derrick and the 5 blessings that He has given you. I don't know if you are still considering hs or not, but I thought I would chime in :)! My husband and I have been homeschooling for 10 years now and would have it no other way. We looked at God's Word before we were married and knew we would be homeschooling. Deut 6:5 & following, Prov 13:20, Deut 4:9, Ps 78 to name a few. Yes, it is a lot of hard work and it can be overwhelming at times, but that's when our trust has to be in the Lord and not ourselves. 1 Cor 10:13, 2 Cor 1:7-9. God is faithful and it's a wonderful opportunity to disciple your children daily. The academics is the easy part...really!! We have 8 children(6 "schooling") and a baby on the way!! We are excited!! I like to speak on homeschooling/discipling. I have resources, websites, etc that I think are a great help if you would like them.

Blessings to both you and Derrick!!
