I give up

HOMESCHOOLING, love it and leavin it. This year we home schooled a 10 year old for 4 months and two 5 year olds for 7 months. Hats off to you homeschoolers! I should feel like a failure I know, but I am a realist and I need to be honest and say I want to stop. I think we have had lot's of fun and we will continue until the end of May but really, I am over it. My kids can read. That's good right? We have read so much this year. I followed the Charolette Mason approach and love it and believe in it 100%. I just need more structure and I want to teach my children more structure then I am creating. I actually have a summer school plan too, but it is more fun then organized plan. My kids love the homeschooling, but they also love public school. I know public school has it's downfalls, but so do I. So this year we will enroll in public school and pray that God leads their steps. .So now I am trying to get a plan put together for school in August and sending 5 kids off to school on 3 different schedules, with me working and Jeff working nights. Makes my eyes roll thinking about it. So today I am waving the white flag and giving a shout out to all home schooling parents out there. YOU really are saintly people who are dedicated to your families. I will be praying for you. It is really interesting how the Lord leads me around. I am that person who doesn't get it until I live it. I am not overflowing with compassion but oddly enough I will pray and pray for others with an unlimited amount of compassion. I know it sounds like an oxymoron. Many years ago at least 15 years ago I read a book about intercessory prayer and it changed my life. So now I use my experiences to pray for others I can relate too. Such as parents waiting in the surgery at Riley for their children, children and adults of divorce, soldiers, teenage years, family relationships, finances, careers, health and so on. So I really mean it when I say I will pray for you homeschoolers, you are really the heroes with no parades to honor you.
