I'm done.......

Everyone close your mouths and pick your jaws up off the floor.

This first week is done! It is about lunchtime on Friday, we are finished for the week. I have a few errands to run this afternoon. After, talking with my "consultant" she explained that I should not feel guilty for doing the errands.

I was worried that, by getting done so early and running around that it would be a disservice to him. But, it was pointed out to me that in public school teachers have at least 20 in a class. They have to make sure that each child get what is being taught. I just have one!

I know that as the year progress some subjects might get harder and require more work. I am also feeling some guilt for my Landon in school and Zach is done. Again, let me remind myself that Zach needs this more. Landon would just want to play at home.

Looking forward to the next week.

Gotcha on my title didn't I..........

First day of school

Zach's first day. Well, lets just say I can do this. I know all of you that told me that I could, not to worry I could not screw him up. Apparently, yall know what yall are talking about. We had a great he loved it. It flowed better than I could have imagined. I was afraid that I would be stumbling over myself. He was so encouraging to me, I was wondering since some subjects only took such a short time to cover. I guess time will tell if I will can deliver on this homeschool thing.
Thanks to all that called to check on both the homeschool and Landon's day. You mean more to me that you will ever know. Love yall!

Leaving his first day! He went back today. Looking at this picture, I do realize that yes his is 51/2 and not 3 like I was thinking. Go figure!



Starting out!







Feeling a little uneasy as he walked down the hall. He just went into his class really like a pro. He did so great that first day. He told me that I did no have to pack anything in his lunch box, that he could get a hamburger and chocolate milk at school. He does not realize that he needs some money for that and they also serve veggies and not french fries.


Happy belated to Ms. Annette hope your day was great!
Congratulations to the Alexander's on finally, getting that little Abe!

Ready, set......go????

Tomorrow, I send my Landon off to Kindergarten. He is pretty excited. I keep thinking that he is not old enough to go. My mind keeps telling me is just 3years old, but deep down I know he is definitely a five year old.

I start my homeschooling with Zach on the same day. I think that I am ready...I know he is. My sister called tonight. She is a public school teacher, I was quite nervous to tell her about all this homeschooling thing. When I did tell her she was supportive. I just did not realize how supportive until tonight. Apparently, God knew I needed some precious, sweet words and He delivered thru her. I was blessed with her greatly.

I will let you know how I did.....not worried about the boy, just his mom.

Good luck to all!!!

It's official.....

Zach is officially out of public school. I called to let them know that he was not coming back and I got a great response. Yes...I was nervous! I really should not have been since considering he is my son. They asked a few question and I told them we were trying something new. She asked me to fill out a home school form and that was it........ what, no lecture, no trying to talk me out of it. Am I waiting for the next ball to drop, or should I expect a knock at my door from school official? They told me if he ever wanted to come back he was welcome.

I have curriculum check, withdrawn him from school check, set up for a co-op check and nerves starting to creep up big surprise....not. I think I have mentioned that the thought of his schooling on me scares me. I was not the best student in my school years, I struggled.

Three weeks and trying not to freak out..........
