A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO!!!!!

I can't believe it has been since Feb. since I last posted. We have had a lot going on. The thing that has taken up a lot of my time is homeschooling my daughter Camry. She was having a very difficult time with 1st grade and I decided it would be better to take her out instead of her being so overwhelmed and discouraged all the time and play catch up at home and then have her repeat 1st grade next year when she is more ready. There are days that I have really loved it and there are days when it overwhelms me a little. I am doing a program that's offered through an online public school course. The program absolutely amazed me with how much school supplies they sent me; a computer w/printer and very detailed material for every course in school. Boxes and boxes of stuff. The only difficult part is that I have really had to get use to is that they require you to put in at least 4 hours a day of school. I have found that 3 hours is great and 4 is a lot more difficult to get in. However I am very happy to say that Camry has learned to read, and complete some good math problems. She is really happy to see how far she has come and so am I.

We home school and it I think it is great you are giving her this time. It is amazing how much they learn and how quick they learn at home. 4 hours is a lot though!

I'm so glad to see you back in the blogging world again! I have been checking back to see if you were around again! So I think it is amazing that you are homeschooling and I'm wondering what it is? Is it something that can be done state wide? I've been thinking about doing this with Felicity, but never knew where to start. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need my e-mail!

You are a brave woman, and a great mom to put Camry's needs first. Good Luck with all that- I don't think I have the patience to do it!
