Oh my gosh, what was I thinking. . .
I just pulled my kids out of school, yes all three of them. They are super excited, but I am SUPER nervious.
This week is our break from school week, kind of a like a second Spring Break.
It helps that the King and I have to pack the rest of the kingdom.
Wish me Luck!

My Story
If you do not know my story, here it is.
I have three horrifying children, ok I am kidding. They are absolutely adorable .01% of the time. Yes, I am still kidding. One boy who is seven and two girls ages ten, and eight. For the sake of their safety and to add more character to each of them, they will be named, Prince Cookie, Princess Button, and Princess Bunny. Each comes with no directions and completely different personalities.
What can I say they are 1 part me, and 1 part my husband. They turned out actually amazing, and like most kids they have their bad weeks. J
I decided to home school because of several different reasons, but my main one was because of what Princess Bunny’s former teacher told me.
The King and I were in the process of moving and reluctantly decided to transfer the kids to another school. As I was speaking to Princess Bunny’s teacher she told me that Princess Bunny should be held back so she can mature and grow more. I forced a smile and said “I will think about it”, and proceeded to complete paper work.
For those who do not know, but Princess Bunny, is ADD/HD. This same teacher, who could not adapt her teachings to help my child, and highly encouraged me to place Princess Bunny on medication, which I was completely against, was now telling me she has progressed enough to be making A’s and B’s, but was still not mature enough. The thing this teacher did not know was, during Spring Break, Princess Bunny, was not on medication at all, and that I had no issues with her, but that Princess Bunny and I forgot her medication for the following week. So I understand how the teacher was frustrated with her.
Needless to say that when the King returned home, I explained to him my thoughts and told him, I am pulling the kids. However, the teacher’s comments were the final straw. The king agreed and so it began.
Home schooling has been on my mind since I started volunteering as a Girl Scout Leader. Of course, I never heard of it while I was in school, so I had no idea how it worked. It was not until I started talking to other homeschooling moms that I felt this could be something for us.
