Have it all? Who wants it all? I'll just take a large portion of some of it...the best parts.

HI all,

Gosh I feel so much better as I blog tonight. I have two or three in the "edit" and "saved" area regarding vaccinations etc that I vented on but need to edit before I post them. Luckily this email is a little more positive.

I know that homeschooling is not for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I realize that some people have a work schedule or other responsibilities that just don't allow for it.

However, I just wanted to offer a positive word on it to anyone that is interested. I home school four children. A 4,5,6,and 7 year old. Yes, some days I do feel like I have lost my mind.

However, bear this in mind, I don't have to deal with teachers, with policies that I don't agree with, and I don't spend any time, energy, or money fighting the school system regarding special education with my son. When I hear the horror stories that others struggle with I am so glad that I made this decision.

It is so much easier than I ever thought. But it is the most fulfilling and wonderful thing that I have decided to do next to actually having the children. :)

I am also feeling much better thanks to Dr Paige Adams helping me decipher some of my lab reports and working on balancing out some issues. When I see what my son Patrick goes through with his biomedical issues caused by vaccinations and what my father goes through with his RA and chronic fatigue due to chemical overexposure to uranium hexafluoride, I am just so sad but so determined to get everyone feeling better.

I also really prioritized my life. Or should I say re prioritized. No more chairing events, no more club meetings, no more anything that requires my regular attendance right now that doesn't involve my kids. I might occasionally do something for a charity fundraiser or for fun for myself but I am so burnt out on so many of the things I have been involved with.

I had created a motivational program called "Yes You Can" and it revolved around trying to accomplish everything humanly possible. It was very popular. I was paid a lot of money to present it to people...mainly by the companies they worked for.

I threw every bit of it away and deleted everything off my computer.

Who in the world wants to achieve everything?
You can have it all? Who wants it all?

I decided that was about the stupidest thing I could try to teach anyone.
I just want what is good and important to me....and I don't think you can really teach that.

Sorry for the rambling. I plan on doing some more in depth posts on home schooling and the different things we do.
