I started this calendar year by throwing you all for a loop and announcing I was pregnant. That was such unexpected news, given my previous constant rantings about having only one child, a teenager, and you all have been great with that change in tone of my blog.
And then shortly thereafter I started in on my two month or so rant about Grace's diagnosis with ADD and what all that meant for her medically and at school and beyond. Again, you all were great. You gave me so much encouragement and advice.
So it seems I have come to another completely unexpected turn in my life. Most likely, for Grace's sophomore year of high school next year, we'll be doing homeschooling.
No, really. I'm not kidding.
I've never even considered doing this before, much less actually plan to do it and go through with it.
Just call me Dr. Homeschooling Mom.
It's a long explanation, and one that's worth dishing out. If this actually goes through, I'll fill you in when the details are settled. If it doesn't work out, I'll still give you the abbreviated explanation.
As you can imagine, any thoughtful advice is welcome and sought out by me at this juncture.

I take my email back! Damn Woman!
Bubblewench - Hey, I just gotta liven things up a bit every once in awhile, you know? It's sort of like a reality show like that ;-)
Ooh homeschooling. Highschool homeschooling is even more fun because that's where you learn about all the good stuff. My suggestion would definitely be to make sure Grace is involved in some outside activities to keep her social and to help build upon a college resume. Them colleges like extra curricular. :)
I'll be interested to know how you're going to work her music into it.
And exactly how long is your maternity leave going to be?
Sometimes I still wish I had homeschooled Tim. He was dead set against it, but I think it would have been good for him.
No help here. Wouldn't touch this. I might have been a good student but I believe I'd make a lousy teacher.
i'd love to hear/read the details!! this was our first year homeschooling...i've got an adhd (possibly misdiagnosed) boy and an a.d.d girl, so i feel ya there! never saw myself as a homeschooler either!
Hi Heather!! Thanks for following my blog. I like your idea for this blog though I would have trouble with it myself.
Homeschooling a teenager? I have little experience to base this on, but who liked high school? I know I hated it, and made a point to spend as little time there as possible and keep my grades up. I know thepioneerwoman.com homeschools her younger children and has a whole section about how she came to do it.
