I announced to my husband the other day that I've decided to quit being a homeschooler... then I had to console my oldest daughter who overheard and dissolved into a puddle of tears. 

As I explained to her, they will still be taught at home, but I'm fed up with the constant striving to do homeschooling right -- no, right-er -- no! right-er-er.  I disappeared into the black hole known as "making a better plan" almost 2 weeks ago.  I finally emerged triumphantly waving new schedules & forms above my head, only to notice, an hour or so later, some changes, improvements, needing to be made.  That evening, God sorta clunked me over the head with a picture of my kids someday reminiscing about those good ole school days when Mom hunched over the computer desperately pecking out a new schedule while they went off and learned on their own.  I decided that I want to rejoin my family living & learning as life happens, and quit trying to "be a homeschooler".  I'm just a mom, now, raising, loving, and teaching my children.  AAHHHH! (sigh)
