OK so I swore I wouldn't be one of those moms who obsessed over the cirric so much that I never got to the school part. But I am there and I want to cry because I am so crazy. There is wayyyyyyy to much good out there and I don't know where to start. My kiddos are still young 8, 7, &2. So I don't think I've screwed them up yet. I love WTM and kind of try to follow it. It takes a lot of work it seems. I keep thinking I'll figure it out and then it won't be so hard. I wish I had a million dollars. I want it all! We have a little funds, but not alot. I look at sonlight and want it so bad, because it looks so pretty, but $1,000 per kid is alot. I reread WTM and think I need to just follow this. I'm think I know what to do for LA. Then for history, if I follow Story of the World, I need to just check out the extra books. I always have to interlibraryloan (ILL) them. I just never get to it. My kids love to learn and are begging for more. My oldest loves to read, but I'm not giving her the right books. I keep thinking I need to go through WTM literature suggestions and make a list for the year. But that involves studying each person and trying to pick the best book (Again more work for me). That's why Sonlight is so appealing you get all these wonderful books and then they are always right there. I finally figured out math and I am still debating science. I looked at Noeo, & REAL. I love learning through reading good books, but it doesn't seem like we're doing it. OK I've rambled so much. How do you do it? Someday I'll be the wise old homeschool mom on these boards with all the answers. Please help a greenie.
