<title>Wow!! Long day.</title>
<description>&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;It is the Second day, and my husband tried to back out of homeschooling. I think he is getting a little overwhelmed. He said &quot;&lt;STRONG&gt;what if we screw up and he learns nothing, then he will be even worst off&quot;&lt;/STRONG&gt;. My response was &quot;&lt;EM&gt;worst as in a happy, self- confience child that not begging us to &lt;STRONG&gt;please let him stay home&lt;/STRONG&gt; and faking sick all the time.&quot;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Its a chance I'm willing to take.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;I have already turned down&amp;nbsp;a very great job offer( my former employer wants me back). I'm in this for the long haul or when the kids decide they want try public or private school again. I think my husband is scared that we will be keep him from the daily social activites. I don't feel my child should have deal with the bullies of the class, just because the teachers think he extra senstive. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Please!!&lt;/STRONG&gt; He can stay home and get beat up by his two year old sister. At least I can control her (&lt;FONT size=1&gt;a little&lt;/FONT&gt;), but she loves her brother and basically worships him. She only strikes out when he take something from her.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;I met up with my support group again today. Their were have a curriuluem sale between the members. I pickup some great items , that I feel are going really help us. and the prices were amazing. I didn't get to stay to long, had meeting desi at the bus stop. last day of school for him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;FONT size=6&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Yee!!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Well, I'm done for the day, I have only had two hours of sleep. It's time for me to crush.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;I have been want to homeschool my children for years, but couldn't get my husband to agree. but this morning before he left for his meeting, he told&amp;nbsp; me&amp;nbsp; look into it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;We are&amp;nbsp;that unhappy and sick of&amp;nbsp; his school. No help just alot he not where he should be.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Well, that's all I needed. I logged onto the net and for six straight hours I&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;researched every website and support group&amp;nbsp;I could find. I discovered a local group was meeting tonight, so I called my husband and off we went.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;The ladies in this group are awesome. they were friendly and very helpful.Any questions&amp;nbsp;or worries&amp;nbsp;my husband may have had, were answered.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;So here we are 2 steps away from pulling my son out of his&amp;nbsp;overcrowding and understaffed class. And I can't wait!!!&amp;nbsp;My husband wants to take the weekend to think this thru clearly. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;As far as I'm concerned it is a done deal.&lt;/P&gt;
