About time for what your asking yourself. Well, I'll tell ya. :) I finally hit the 'order' button and ordered curriculum!! I had a wonderful day today and got some great advice and ideas from a lady from church that homeschools. I really thought that I would leave feeling so overwhelmed (and I was when I first got there), but I didn't leave that way. I left feeling very energized, motivated and excited! Ready for the year to begin! Not sure what day yet, I'm still working on that. It really depends on how fast I get my books. I rush shipped them though so I should get them by the beginning of next week hopefully.
Don't get me wrong...I am still very nervous. But I left with some amazing ideas and think that if I can stick to a schedule it will be fine. Will I screw up...yeah. Will I have days where I wanna pull my hair out...of course! Will this year be perfect...NO. But I finally have a plan and feel at peace about everything. I have decided to just use some of what I have around the house for the twins. I mean come on, I did preschool for how many years. Why go and buy stuff this first year...they are only 4. I'm basically going to keep them 'busy', or at least thats what they'll think. haha No, really, they love to do 'work' as they call it. :)
Remember that "plan" that I had several months back...well it went out the window and I have picked out all new curriculum. Go figure! I knew this would happen. It just so happens that the math that everyone was raving about and I didn't like...well, I looked at it today and... I LOVE it!!
Ok, so I won't bore you all with all my details, but for future references, Mason can look back at this someday and laugh at me for waiting so long to decide on something. haha Years from now I'm sure I'll look back at this and laugh, but for right now...I just want my books ASAP!! :)
Hope everyone is having a great week! :)

Yay, April!! This is great news! I'll be praying for the start of your school year! (And I'll be expecting an update!) :)
Hey girlie! I know that it's been forever since I did blog checks on anyone, but I'm so glad that I popped in today. CONGRATULATIONS. I want to hear more details soon. I realized yesterday that it was August and had a little moment of panic that I'm in no way ready for the "school year" to start!
*hugs* to you! ~K
I knew you'd make a decision and have a peace with it. Way to go momma! Keep the postive attitude!
I'm so glad that the meeting helped and that you feel more at peace. :) Keep us posted as you learn new homeschooling techniques! :)
