Changes...

Well, my hubby and I have decided to put our girls into a charter school this coming fall. I am a bit torn. I feel like this is a wonderful adventure for them. The selfish me is thinking about all the extra time I will have. I will be able to better care for our home and my family. On the flip side...I will feel distanced from them. I won't be in their everyday learning. I think I will feel like I am missing something everyday. I was getting very stressed about schooling and getting it all done within state standards. So I think for my health this will be a good year too. After that...who knows.

My older DD is also torn. She wants to go and be with friends but she also is scared and wants to stay with me. My younger DD I think is a bit more adventurous...although a bit slower to warm up to people. I have a feeling the first day will be hard.

I also have dreams of doing a little schooling at home in the off hours. But realisticly I'm not so sure that will happen. How much homework with they have? How much 'still' time will I get after they have been at a desk all day? Will I know what they are studying and be able to grow off that? I can dream...and then see what reality is like.
