A verse to ponder today...

homeschool? Really?? I'm in SHocK....

Nary a moment has passed without the guilt ...  
 a BLOGGY misstep...
(or mistake, or Crime, take Ur pick:)  
 Hang me up by my toes!
 I have abstained from blogging for OHHHHH 
 2   yes  TWO  months.

Since that time much has happened. I'll be sharing TONS in the coming days, maybe I should say "in the near future" and NOT limit myself...LOL!  
 I could use some (WELL a LOT) advice puhlezzze! I would love to hear from the Blogsville trenches on how YOU budget your "bloggy" time with all the other demands of this life. In particularly, if you {A} Are a Single Parent and/or {B} live with chronic illness(s)!

AND

An even bigger ISSUE!!!
The GOOSE is 4. Pre K time here in the Sunshine State!  That is, this next school year, she will be able to start at a "real" school. Which would be an incredible gift of TIME to me:) HOWeVeR, It's not about ME.

Do you homeschool,  especially if you {A} Are a Single Parent and/or {B} live with chronic illness(s)???    The epic battle of Choosing the proper method, time, and place of my dd's education has been time consuming, to say the least.  Quite frankly, I'm a little scared...OK a LOT:{  There are so many "issues" to consider.  
Can I DO this????  Well NO, but I KNOW THE ONE WHO CAN.
(prayer ROCKS)
 There are a 100 ??'s in my mind, however, the verses linked below have been a great help.
Biblical-reasons-to-homeschool.

Some really great homeschool blogs/sites are out there, as well. My situation is a lil' different, but they are definitely a good starting point!
Here are a few I like
Seeds Family Worship   Great scripture freebies

Homepreschool and beyond   Very purposeful presentation of ideas and insights!

Holy Spirit Led Homeschooling  This one really touched me:)

  I would LUV LUV Luv to hear any advice on planning strategies, time stewardship, and curriculum choices. 
Where are the best Free/Almost Free resources?
Do you prefer any ONe methodology, or are you more eclectic?
HOw do you balance online learning with "real" experiences?

Does anyone use a year round curriculum? How is it different(learning-wise)?
and of course,
How do YOU keep your sanity???

Todays reading Prov. chapter 7
verse 7:1
"My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you."

Fitting don't you think? :-)

Happy Thursday
