I'm having homeschool mommy guilt since I'm not the teacher anymore (as much). I am in the support role, but it's not the same as teaching them everything! Thanks for your comments about my fru-fru dress. I waited until the very end to put it on, since I wasn't sure if I would fit in. Then again, I NEVER fit in.. LOL. People were kind and receptive to us new-comers. See? Wouldn't it be fun to make our first "eyeball" of each other at something like this? We took a room at the Mariott on priceline! (only $45.00, which included breakfast!) Too much fun!!! Thanks for that last comment. I’m having homeschool mommy guilt since I’m not the teacher anymore (as much).

My children take some of their classes via the internet, and their P.E. is on a tennis court or a golf course - not at "home". So, of course, you can call it what ever you wish!

It looks good though. Everybody is already reading, except baby boo, who really isn't a baby anymore. I'm cut out of a different cloth, I've never done the same thing for two years in a row, and even this year we are doing something different again!! Hey, do really think I can call it homeschooling when I am hiring out their teachers? They only go once a week. My kids said to me "Hey we ARE still homeschooled you know, just not mommy-schooled". We still have to do all of our work at home! I haven’t heard of this resource. It looks good though. Everybody is already reading, except baby boo, who really isn’t a baby anymore.

Great advice! We'll "officially" begin with our oldest when she turns 5 next year. And you're right...paralyzing is exactly the way I feel now as I look to see what things we'll use next fall. I'm already overwhelmed by the gazillions of kindergarten curriculum choices out there. Apparently homeschooling is BIG business for some. Your post came at just the right time!
