Guess what! 1 1/2 years. That's the countdown to my quitting working and homeschooling our 3 boys. I've been worried about asking my husband about my quitting work, we have health insurance through my job, and the dual income is nice, but the pull to do what I think is the right thing finally pushed me to broach the subject. We are going to get our debt down, switch to his employers insurance, and a few other things, and then I am quitting my current job and starting the one I should have been doing the whole time: fulltime wife and mommy!
I think the cincher was when I told him he deserved more than convenience food (read: pre-packaged/pre-made/frozen) for dinner, and more of my time, instead of me being tired and cranky in the evenings. And that boys deserved more than 45 minutes in the a.m. and 2 hours at night of mommy.
I am very happy, excited, nervous. Any prayers would be appreciated many times over.
Whenever you're ready, I'll be happy to add you to my Homeschool ping list!
You got em!! Our kids have enjoyed homeschooling. We pulled the younger two out when they started 6th and 8th grades. Our older two had graduated and gone on to college. The younger of the two will go to high school next year; the private all boys school our older two attended. Our daughter intends to stay home and finish. She'll be a Junior next year, and will start doing some classes at the local Community college or the State college in Worcester.
