I’m new to blogging. New to reading blogs, even. And my biggest surprise has been learning that homeschooling is so big. It’s huge!
It seems that every other blog I come across is a homeschooling mom. Who are these super-virtuous (and a little intimidating) women? And, more importantly, why can’y I have their patience?
My friend Cheryl homeschooled for awhile, and frankly, I thought she was nuts. (And she has lovely children. And a TON of patience, also.) Not me. I was going crazy over the length of the Christmas holidays this year. My kids were off from Dec. 16 to Jan 9. January 9TH, PEOPLE! Now that’s just a little excessive, right?
They attend a fantastic Christian school that we’re lucky to have nearby. But even if that school weren’t here, I have no problem saying that it’d be the public schools for us, with a side of extra prayer.
So here’s to the Homeschoolers! I love your sites, and hearing your gentle, loving spirits. I admire you greatly, and am including just 2 of the sites I’ve found so far:

Oh the homeschoolers….You have got to be very self disciplined and patient to homeschool. I wish so much that I could do it but there is no way, I am not even half as organized as a homeschooling mom:)I am attending a local college and have changed my major from elementary education to I have no idea!!! I’ll praise the homeschooling moms too, I have a friend who is pregnant with number five and homeschools:0 Good luck to all homeschooling moms.

I feel the same way– admire, but cannot imagine doing it myself.
