You’re the boss, Brandice

[insert post title here]

Yesterday, I realized that I will be 46 when Zoe is 18. That seems so weird to me. Not because that’s an old age, but because my mom was 39 when I was 18. When my mom was 46 I had 2 kids and another on the way. It just seems so strange.

Now, here is some news from our house. Some of you will be relieved while others are going to be disappointed, maybe even annoyed. My husband doesn’t think we should homeschool. I think mostly, because he knows me a little better than I’d like to admit. He really tries to support me in all my decisions, but this one he just keeps disagreeing with me on in the end. I get overwhelmed easily and start to shut down emotionally. I think he is trying to prevent as much of that as possible.

Thankfully, the materials I bought for homeschooling can all be used in school throughout the years. Over the summer, I’m going to use the math and writing curriculum to prepare Aidan more for first grade. At least that’s what I am telling myself. I bought a History and Science Encyclopedia that’s geared more towards Elementary students, so we’ll get lots of use out of those.

Moving on…

I’m going to start responding to comments right here on my blog, instead of emails. I’ve been kind of back and forth with it (or not respond at all… I’d like to give a shout out to Beth!) The reason I’ve responded mostly in emails, is because you’re not notified when someone responds to a comment here. I’m going to to fix that. Until then, you’ll have to check back.

Oh yeah. I will not be taking 3 month blogging vacations anymore. I’m back.  ::crossing fingers::
