I must be crazy.

I supposed for my very first attempt at blogging I should introduce myself and my reason for beginning this blog. My name is Mary, and after many sleepless nights, I have decided to homeschool my twins.  There I said it.  I'm really going to do this.   The truth is I'm a little scared.  What if I fail? What if they don't learn  everything they need to know? What if ( horror of horror) my mom is right and they need public school for socialization?   Am I crazy?  I'm not choosing this for religious reasons.  I'm not choosing this because  we live on some remote island or because my husband works in another country. I  am not "disenchanted" with our local public school district. It is actually a really great one.  My oldest daughter  has always attended  the public school in our area and will continue to go to school there.  So why on earth would I want the pressure and responsibility to "school " my youngest children?  Well, to be completely honest again,  I'm not certain I can put it into words. Its just something i've felt compelled to do.  I have been asked that question several times recently in various wordings ( some people are truly curious while others are just asking in such a way as to let me know they think its ridiculous). What I do know is that no one , absolutely no one, has more reason to invest time and effort into their future than I do.   I am not just going to attempt this. I am going to DO this.   I am not  a creative, perfect, organized super mom.  This will likely be painful at times.  This will likely be messy at times.  It will definitely be hard and frustrating at times.  I'm not afraid of that and even if I was it wouldn't stop me! So tune in with me from time to time and see whats going on in our little  kindergarten!
