secret in I don't know....

I deeply desire to send my kids to school. I have homeschooled since my oldest was 18 months old. I'm tired. I would really love to send them to school. But, I can't and won't. Another year begins.

In response to some questions:

1) I can't quit right now because my husband won't let me. He *thinks the kids would be "bored" in school. I think 2/3 would thrive and possibly have a better shot at life than they do right now and I think it would help my son tremendously to have another authority figure in his life that wasn't me.

2) I can't because I didn't do all their immunizations on the "time table" that was conventional. There is a shot we do not do until later and only 1/3 of my kids have completed it. There is a shot that all 3 haven't completed. That would be a holy living nightmare as far as immunizations are concerned.

3) Where we live there aren't any charter schools. There is ONE private school that is about 30 minutes from here and the cost, though incredibly low, is extraordinarily high. We simply can't afford it. Co-Op here is over the top intrusive to your life and the "director" of said co-op states that she gets to decide if your kid is sick enough to come or stay home. Nothankyouverymuch. I've been 'round that barn with her and not interested.

I'm not being rude and I hope no one thinks I am. I am frustrated and really tired and would like a break from it, but I won't be granted that so it's time to put my big girl undies on and get with it.
