Home School

We've been thinking about it for a year now, but I never really wanted to commit to it.

But...

Yesterday, I got the phone call, "Devin had another accident.  We need to talk about how we can help her."  Seriously?  What exactly are "we" doing?  "I" am doing it all.  I reteach, quiz, study with her, help her get dressed, go to the bathroom, etc.  "We" haven't really done much at all.  "We" just ignore her  when she won't do the work at school and send the work home for "I" to do with her.

So when I got that message, it was the last straw.

I'm seriously doing all I can now, but it's never enough.  I'm always stressed while Devin's at school, just waiting for the phone call that I know will come.  If not today, the next, or the next.  I stress every time the teacher writes in her planner, "I couldn't get her to do any work today."  Well, let her do it on the computer.  It usually works. 

So, if I'm already doing the teaching every day after school until bedtime, I might as well just do it all.  Like for reals.

It's been going well today.  We're almost done for the day.  And it's only 10:30.  We just have math to do, and yes, that might take til lunchtime. But that's ok.

I feel stressed, until I remember, we don't have homework to do tonight.  We're doing it all now!!!
