I've been homeschooling for the past 6 years but financially I'm going to have to find a job by this summer. My daughters are 11 & 7 so I don't think I'll be able to continue homeschooling unless I could find a part time job that pays enough. Most of the part time jobs in our area are retail or low paying clerical. My last position was as an analyst but those jobs often require considerable travel. Right now I'm not sure what kind of job to target. Mostly I would appreciate ideas about how to overcome the lack of current professional references. I am very out of practice finding a decent job not to mention a bit upset about the possibility of giving up homeschooling. Thanks.

I'm praying not but it looks as if I will have to find a "real" full time job by summer. The problem is I have no current professional references. I was laid off my last job in 2000 after 9 years. Unfortunately, the lay off was ugly for several of us including me. I don't think the company would hurt me but they wouldn't go out of their way to help either. I've got great personal references. Any help, ideas, suggestions and prayers would be very much appreciated. I so don't won't to give up homeschooling and put my daughters in public school next year.
Thanks so much.

A good site to find reading level for books?

Try this site. You have to register but the basic limited version is free. There's a database of books with their reading levels. Check out the FAQ section first for an interpretation of the measeaurements and corresponding grade level.
