Homeschooling

Have I truly lost complete control of my mental faculties? To think that any one person can really homeschool EIGHT kids, come on! And yet, here I am, attempting to pass knowledge on to my children without losing my temper at how absolutely scatter-brained they can be sometimes..... honestly, how many times do I really have to say "SLANT YOUR PAPER WHEN YOU WRITE!!!!!" before they comprehend that I want them to slant their paper when writing? Good grief, man! It's a wonder I haven't gone completely gray already from this!!

Decisions.....

Ok, so I get a call from The College Network, with whom I've been dealing for the past year now, trying to get things underway with finishing out my degree and getting my RN. He tells me that starting Oct. 1 (tomorrow), they're raising the tuition fees, so all the plans that I had for saving up exactly this amount of money is suddenly out the window. It'll cost me about $700 more than I had planned if I wait any longer than today..... but we're trying so hard to get out of debt!!!! I feel like pulling my hair out! We're sooooo close, why in the world would I add more debt now?? But if I don't, it'll wind up costing almost an extra grand later on! Sal seems to think that it's pointless for me to pursue it right now, because I won't even be able to use my license yet, because I'm homeschooling the kids. I don't know... I just feel confused right now. This is very frustrating when I have to make a decision, but none of the choices feel completely right; they all only feel partially right. Man, I really wish sometimes that I was Superwoman.... she could do it all.....
