Well... It's done. I did it. It's official now. My girls have one week of school left and then it's summer for 6 weeks. And then our adventure with Home school will begin on July 13th. I've decided to do a year-round schedule because I'm just too excited to start. I don't think I can wait three whole months to begin.
So, I've been busy collecting school material, curriculum, books, etc. It's been so thrilling for me because I get to pic and choose all the material! I've moved a book shelf in our family room to organize all our school stuff. It's just so dang exciting! I'll be spending the next month organizing weekly work packets in each subject... English, Math, History, Science, etc. I want to get all the scheduling organized and planned out for the year. It's a lot of work, but It'll be worth it when it's time to sit down and actually do the teaching and structure when school begins.
Anyway - I never thought I would start home school this early. I always new that I wanted to do the middle-school ages. But since I've come to the decision of starting now I've felt so good and so excited about life. It's given me a spark back in my life that I've been missing. And all I can say is that I'm love'n my life and where it's headed.

Today is the day! I've got the affidavit filled out, signed, and notarized. I'm so excited to go to school and officially and legally sign my kids OUT. I'm a little nervous too. Am I sure I want to do this? Am I ready? Can I really do it? I'm feeling a little hesitant and scared about this HUGE change in my life...

But I am ready. And although nervous to take this next step, I know I can do it. And I'm looking forward to all the work and fun and learning we'll be doing at home school. I'm starting a new life today. A life more fulfilled. And I'm ready.
