Well hello to all you bloggers,

My husband and I have made the decision to send our 2 children to public school.  It has been a hard decision to make but with the Lord's help, we have a peace in our hearts.  Not to say I will never homeschool again but for now this is what is best. 

A little encouragement to all of you, my son's teacher, was pleasantly surprised with Brendan, having been homeschooled and all, he COULD actually function in the classroom.  In other words, he IS normal!  I guess this teacher has had homeschooled children in the past and it wasn't a good thing .  Brendan is actually making friends, he is attentive, he is doing very well.  Maybe this will change this lady's outlook on homeschooled children.

There was no doubt in my mind Brendan would do great, he is a very social fellow.  He used to ask everyone that walked by our house what there name was and where they lived. 

Holly is in kindergarten and doing fine as well.  She does not like to take the bus and we think it's because it is so noisy and there is alot of kids on the bus in the morning.

Since I am not homeschooling, I felt I should try to get a job and help take some of the financial burden from my husband.  I called the employer I left 3 years ago, and within a day, I had a job there working exactly the shift I asked for 7:00am till 1:00pm.  God is so good!    I am actually excited about entering the job force again, it must be the other adults and conversations that don't include, "Stop, bugging your sister/brother..."that I'm looking forward to. 

My prayers are with you all as it's now I realize truly, how much was involved in the whole homeschooling process.  I know while I was homeschooling I felt the stress and pressure there at times but because I had committed, there was no other option, so I just did it. 

I have to thank my sister for being there to support me and making this whole change a little more easy.  She knows me better than I know myself and she helped me understand myself a little more.  Thanks sis, I love you!
