Well I have 23 months until I hit 40. Why is this so important to me? Not only is a huge milestone in age, its a health milestone for me. I want to be healthier and I have tried so many times before. I woke up a couple of days ago and decided that 40 is my goal. I cant change when I turn 40

Homschooling, can I really do this?
So I have been informed that doing virtual school is not ACTUALLY homeschooling. Hey they're home and they're doing school here. Its homeschooling.
It means that I have to do some major adjustments. I am fine with that for the most part. It will mean that I will have to get help on the days when I am working in the schools but thats ok. It also means I wont have as much free time. That is probably for the best though. I have had some time to think about these things and I think I can make it work, until we move at least I have a lot of help.
I am a little nervous though about a few things. Socially I dont know if Im doing the right thing? Given how badly my girls were bullied last year it makes me NOT want them to socialize with a lot of kids. We love our friends dearly and of course will keep up with them but as for the general population of their school last year? No way.
I worry that I will be too controlling, I dont want that for my kids. I want to be the best parent I can be for them and guide them but I dont want to rule their lives.
I do think it will be good for them though. I want it to be good for them. They're excited which means something, right?
