… as we and many of our friends here start homeschooling tomorrow! (Cheesy post, but I DID it… I posted every day this week, as I said I would! I hope I will be more faithful now that I’ve had a “kickstart,” but I can’t guarantee it. One day at a time, people!)
Praise the Lord, I did it! Seven (homeschool-aged) children.Seven different grades.At least 6 subjects per child. ALL PLANNED OUT FOR THE YEAR! That is such a HUGE load taken off my back!
