Are you hearing voices????  Feeling insecure, frazzled or worried????

Are thoughts racing around your head.........like some of these?

"Oh, I just can't teach these kids anything!"

"We really are unschoolers, but sometimes I am so unsure of all this!"

"I feel like someone is watching my every move, and I am BLOWING it!"

"What if someone asks my kids a question they can't answer them???"

"Our schedule is not what I want it to be, but it seems like we are WAY too busy."

"Little Suzy is falling behind in math."

"The house is SO out of control."

"How will I ever teach it ALL?"

"What about gaps in my kids' education?????"

Relax, dear homeschooling Mother, Relax.

What a blessing to find this in my mailbox today from HSLDA.  There is nothing better than a homeschooling Dad's perspective, (and an HSLDA lawyer, at that ) to set our minds at ease. 

 God Bless you Michael Farris!

 From the HSLDA weekly update:

 "Home School Heartbeat": Myth of the Perfect Homeschooling Mom

Nobody's perfect--homeschool moms included! Expecting yourself to
manage a mistake-free homeschool, or comparing yourself to others,
will only sap you of strength and joy. Get refreshed this week as
Michael Farris encourages moms to set realistic goals and simplify
their teaching methods.
