Wow, Jan! Do you have any time for yourself?? You really are busy.
I admire your tenacity and strength. Parents who home-school have to
be very disciplined and have lots of patience. It sounds like you
have both. It is very good to see that your kids are involved in so
many activities as well. In our small rural area, the parents who
home-school (there are about 7) don't get their kids involved in any
activities. Thus, they become an entity onto themselves. In other
words, they don't have a very good reputation with the public school
system. Some of the kids have come in to the system at high school
age, and even though they do quite well academically, they do not
have any friends and are really isolated.
Congratulations on a well done job.
