Feb. 22, 2006 - some more about me
I was born in Texas, grew up in Louisiana schools and finally went to high school and college in Arkansas. I met a family while in high school that homeschooled. I thought their family was so neat, and it got me thinking all about homeschooling. When my husband and I were dating in college, we talked about school. I knew he had a good experience in the public school and saw no reason to homeschool once we had children. My first son was born about 2 years after we were married and I had still hoped to homeschool, so I prayed "Lord, change his heart or change mine." When my son was 3 years old and my daughter was 1, I felt like God had answered my prayer--He changed both our hearts. I no longer cared to be with my children all day long and teach them because at 3 yrs old, my son wasn't "cooperating" (he wasn't learning i.e. he was being 3). This happened at the same time my husband was saying, "oh, I think homeschooling is a great idea." My husband encouraged me to just be patient and see how it goes. A kindergartener learns so much easier than a 3 yr old. So I'm glad it all worked out. I love homeschooling. I don't know if my children will always love it, and I know we'll go through difficult times of school not being as much fun as others. I'm just so glad I get to. I'm glad we have this freedom here in this country.Comments

Now that you and your husband are on the same page,you'll both soon find that your decision to homeschool is one of the best things you have ever done. Being there with your children through each mile stone is something you''ll treasure for a life time. It willl prove to be a blessing to be able to handle situations as they come up with your children in the manner you and your husband feel they should be handled. I am far from having all the anwsers, I am learning how much I actually don't know with each passing day, but if I can be of any help to you in your homeschooling adventure please let me know. If I can't help you I may be able to point you in the right direction.
