Homeschool Options
Well, we are searching once again. By the end of the month at least oldest will be disenrolled from our current charter school. Not sure if disenrolling youngest at end of month or waiting till end of next month. Definitely not doing STAR testing as it is a waste of our time. This week I should be signing the paperwork to get testing okayed for youngest by our school district. Think we know what is going on but want to have it confirmed to help guide and give some direction on how to help youngest the best we can. I have joined a bunch of yahoo groups. Really like Homeschool Creatively and Learning Able Kids. As bought a book at good old Borders that has websites and ideas in it. Right now just trying to rap up all the curriculum that I need to return to the school. They have lost their minds. Initially it was me thinking that I had lost my mind but in talking with others I realized that it is the school not me. Thank goodness as I was being to question myself. It's good to have homeschooling friends to process thoughts!

Frustrations to Blessings??
I am frustrated with work. Frustrated with our Charter school. Frustrated with looking for a new career. Frustrated with finances. Just plain old frustrated!
Let's start with work....Well, I am now aware that I have a job till June 30th but I really don't want to be in this job anymore. I try to look at it as a blessing. I should be grateful that I have an income coming in. I should be grateful that I even have a job. But I'm not. I just want to be out!
I am frustrated with our Charter school. We did a SST for Youngest and it wasn't very helpful. I was hoping to find different suggestions for curriculum to try but instead we were sent back to do what didn't work in the past. We were told to get a math tutor. How will a math tutor help that is online? I am copying and getting curriculum together to just turn back in and be done. But the kiddos like this Charter school. They like being able to get curriculum that we can't afford. I feel like my hands are tied. I feel like I can't teach what I want to teach them. I feel like I have to hide what I am teaching them and can only show them what they want. I'm frustrated!
I just want to find a new career and get out of town. I don't want to do any more job applications. I don't want to do any more job interviews. I just want to get hired and move. I am frustrated that I have been looking since August 2009 and we are still here!
I am frustrated that we are struggling financial when I make the kind of money that I make. I am frustrated that we made ourselves so thin financially due to lack of knowledge and trust those who were not trustworthy. I am tried of juggling Peter to pay Paul. I am just asking for enough to not have to be calling someone or dealing with someone because of a late payment or bouncing check. I just want enough to not have to worry how to feed everyone and just have the basics. I am just frustrated.
How do I turn these frustrations to blessings? How do I let the worry go be free? How do I trust that it will all work out the way it should be? I am impatient with frustration. Definitely not a good combination. I know that it will work out the way it should but I have to be honest that I am just tired of the waiting. I have to work hard to not force a change because when I force a change, it is rarely a change for the good.
GOD WILL GUIDE ME TO THE RIGHT AND PERFECT CAREER! And everything else will fall into place!
