Well some of you that now me, also now that I have been homeschooling my son for the last 5 years. Well last week my husband and I have decided to put him back into school. He is in fifth grade and today was his first day back. He came home saying school is awesome. I have some high hopes for him being back at school.
I used to brag about being a homeschooler mom but after several years of butting heads and trying to get him to learn I decided that me and my son needed a relationship again. We have not had one for so very long. And he hated being home.
I have to be honest I cried alot because I felt like I was failing him and my husband. But I realized what I was doing was tearing myself up by keeping him home. I do not want to seem selfish but I really believe all the stress of homeschooling my son was the reason I have been so sick lately, and why my spiritual walk has been at an all time low. I now it is a medical fact that when you are stressed and do not sleep properly it can cause you to stay sick for a long time.
I am releaved that my son is back in school and today I got so much done. I feel good about myself.
I will keep all posted of what happens with him in school.

I give you kudos for homeschooling the time you did. While homeschooling is great, it may not work for everyone. I pray that he continues to do well in school!
