Let me introduce myself...

Well, after thinking about it I thought I should introduce myself and tell what I plan my blog to be about.

I am currently a stay at home mom of two children, my son is 10 years old, my daughter is 5. I will also be homeschooling both of my children this year. I took my son out of our local public school in February because he was being harassed by the teacher. I couldn't believe that a 4th grader could be harassed but it is possible. He was so stressed out from the situation that he was beginning to have signs of IBS along with terrible headaches and anxiety. So I took him out and allowed my daughter to finish out her year in pre-k at the school.

When I think about it now I am sometimes shocked at how much my life and my view of life has changed in the last few years. I mean I worked my butt off in college to get my degree as a teacher and then after one year I knew that the public school system was not for me or my children. I got so sick of the testing and the teaching to the test. Yes, no matter what they say they do teach to the test.

Anywho, I am now planning my first year as a full time mother and teacher to my two darlings. I never thought it would be so relaxing spending so much time with my kids, but it is. We do have our bad days, lots of them. But we also have lots of really good days. My plan for this blog is to share my ups and downs, my triumphs and failures and everyday life during my home school journey. So hold on tight here we go!
