Questions

Last night, I went through my major hyperventilate moment about home-schooling. 
The questions hit me like a wave.
Am I organized enough?
Do I have all the right stuff?
Are my kids missing out on something?
Do I even want to do this anymore?
I poured all of this out on my husband, secretly hoping he would demand me to sign them up for school tomorrow.
Instead, he gently talked about all of the benefits of having them home, the fact that they are above level when compared to kids their age.  And, yes, they are missing out on some stuff...but not necessarily good stuff.  He then reminded me how busy life would get and how we wouldn't be able to go on middle of the year trips anymore and the girls wouldn't be able to go to work and scrub in on surgeries any longer..
Then there were the implications of loss of innocence.  How much exposure to certain things are our children ready for?
Here in MT. the schools are in the process of passing a sex ed. and transgender curriculum for kindergartners.  Yes, that would be four and five yr. olds.
Maybe it's just me but that is so not something I think my kiddos need to be learning about in K, 1,2,3,4,5 grades.  And who is teaching this? Where is the info. coming from?  What politically charged spin is on this?

So after some reminding and encouraging I feel better and am lightening up.  It's going to be ok.  The most important thing is that I smile at them, love them, and be patient with them.
