Hi to all of the old Homeschooling Chat Thread members. I couldn't find the old one and I assume there is a new one somewhere but I couldn't find it. So I am starting up a new one. Hope everyone is having a good week so far. We are all doing great, we have decided to stay put now after all of the moving talk. We are happy with the decision and all is good. The girls are going to a homeschooling meet up tomorrow so that should be lots of fun. Hope it stays fine for the morning. Jenny

Just when you think you are past the baby stage...
Hi there! Well, the wheels have fallen off the wagon here because the IL's have decided that we should be going to the US with them in October. Of course, that means that I need to go back to work, pretty much full-time between three jobs and a business in order to make their wish come true. (I hope they stopped stalking me here years ago! ) Anyway, DS1 is enrolled to start school from Term Two until the end of the year. We will revisit home schooling then. I feel so manipulated into this that I could hit something!

Sorry, I should sound more positive about these things! I am sure the kids will love a week at Disneyland (but I cannot think of anywhere worse even without knowing that I will spend my day perpetually behind a stroller or pram). I do look forward to the break away but I also don't like the idea of having to keep up all three jobs and my business to finance it. I am almost sure it will kill me. That said, the break means that I can gear up for next year and focus on getting DS2's behavioural issues under control so that even he may be able to home school again in 2012. Lots going on, and of course, we are still home schoolers at heart so will definitely be around!
