Desiring to Homeschool

Over at the Women Living Well blog, Courtney shared the day they received their new textbooks and supplies for the upcoming school year. It turns out that she uses a public online school to homeschool her children. It brought the desire back in me to homeschool Cate this coming year.

The only thing holding me back is my husband. John is worried about the lack of socialization for Cate. I'm not really so worried about that, because she'll have access to kids outside the home. Maybe it wouldn't be such an issue either if Cate weren't so anxious in social situations. She doesn't have social anxiety, but she just has a hard time knowing where she fits in in different circles.

Little does she know that I feel the same way about myself. Cate is my "mini-me." She has a lot of the same desires that I do. I empathize well with her.

There was a lot of girl "drama" in her classroom last year. It was a rough year. She ended up getting in trouble with the teacher for being chatty and not focusing.

So I'm not really sure what to do. I'm praying about it right now, so that I know what God's will is. I hope He makes it clear whether we should homeschool or not. I've done too much jumping into things this year, and it's gotten me into a lot of trouble. Now I'm just going to wait on God's will.
