It’s great to know we can help. There are so many writer mums out there – and some dad’s too – and we can all understand what you are going through.

Take care.

cheers

In reply to M T McGuire. Seriously, you guys are a lot of why I have not had a nervous breakdown some days. I am very capable and generous but when life goes after me, it seems to dog pile and you guys and hearing from you keeps me GROUNDED. A lot of what I've been through the past couple of years? I'd have never made it if I hadn't been a blogger, teacher and on social media. I might feel helpless (anxiety) but never hopeless because of you guys.

OK so I don’t homeschool my lad but I have a club meeting I go to on the last thursday of each month and yes, you guessed it, last week I didn’t realise it was the last thursday of the month and I missed it. You know being obsessed with zombies sounds like a pretty lightweight thing to get chucked out of school for. Sounds like them rather than your wee man. For what it’s worth, like the other lady I say… it will pass. My lad is 6. It is easier now…. although, if I get them then, in the holiday he’s going to have to do some radio appearances with me. I might change my mind after that.

Take care you.

cheers

Kristen– Wasn’t sure if you knew, but Texas has online public education called K12. The Texas sector is TXVA and TOPS. It is an excellent program and free to Texans.

http://www.k12.com

If you need further information, email me. My daughter is an online teacher for K12 and I can connect you to her for more detailed information.

Your blog is inspiring and keeps me going. Thank you.

So relieved I’m not the only one who scrolls through email I’m the bathroom!!! I don’t usually know what day it is…until Saturday. Three kids, full-time day job, part-time author, and oh yeah, catching up on my Kindle reading and episodes of 24, Nashville, and Scandal because I can’t stay awake at night/have more pressing obligations…jeez I’m yawning as I type. But at the end of the day, everything gets done. Small wins. 🙂

Having homeschooled my kids for that last 10 years I can let you know the house will never be clean. It’ll look like it did on the weekends every day now.

Some of your best memories will come from the time you spend teaching, though. In the grand scheme of things that’s worth a little mess.

In reply to Author Kristen Lamb. I can say that one of our home school daughters graduated from college with honors, and the other got accepted into the three top art schools in Europe and the US. So homeschooling doesn't have to be too much a disadvantage if you carry on. :)

In reply to Author Kristen Lamb. No matter what you do right as a parent, they will blame you for something you never even remembered doing when they are, oh, say between 18 and 25. Around age 27 they become human again and that's a fun time, I hear.
