It's getting near the end of the year.  I've been reviewing this past year in my mind.  Thinking about what we've improved on, what we could have done better etc. 

We are taking our ACT tests next week.  I believe this is what has really gotten me rattled.  I know a lot of hsers don't put a lot of emphasis on testing but I do.  (I guess it's just ingrained in my brain!  )  I've been reviewing with Mason and I'm upset about what all he hasn't retained.  I'm 100% sure that we should be hsing and I'm 100% sure that he's done better with me than he would have in school.  I just think we can do better.

I've had the bulk of their curriculum picked out, for next year, for the past few months.  It was very eclectic, pulling from many diff. publishers.  This week, I believe, God is moving us in a different direction.  I also have ADD, run our business and hs the boys.  Sometimes it can be a little much and my stress levels get high.  This has had some impact on mine and the boys relationship.   I'm not as care free anymore and have been nicknamed "Military Mom" by some of our friends!    (But they are the same friends that go on and on about how good my boys are! )

With all that said, I believe we're headed in the direction - BJU DVDs.  With having the teacher's manuals, I'll be able teach some of the subjects.  I can still be involved but have some work lifted off my shoulders.  I like that everything will be from one publisher and everything is all inclusive.  I've used some of their curriculum before and have loved it.  It was just too much (for me) to teach it all.  Plus, we were on such a tight budget last year that I was a little limited on what I could order.  This year, my dh told me that we could afford the DVD option, if that's what I thought was best.

I'm still praying and seeking the Lord.  I can be very indecisive and run to something and then turn and go completly opposite (I believe it's called "Wishy Washy").  I know my ADD contributes to some of this.  That is why I'm just waiting on my confirmation from the Lord!!!
