Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.

Today is day 2 of homeschool for us. So far so good.... We had a few interruptions today but that is something we will have to get used to as that is the story of my life. You see, not only am I homeschooling my youngest daughter, I also run an in home daycare. For my daycare I transport 3 4-year old boys to half day school, (2 in the morning 1 in the afternoon) I keep a 1-year old boy all day and my oldest daughter is in public school. Have I lost my mind? Maybe......

As of day 2....
1. I'm sure this was the right decision for my Moose.
2. I understand the loss of socialization concern so many have. There is no way to make up for the day to day interaction she would get in public school. In fact as she ate lunch today I felt a little sad for her knowing that normally at lunch she would be chatting it up with her friends. But since I am very conscious of the socialization lost, I will be purposeful when I involve her in activities that allow her to interact with peers. I don't think it's going to be a big loss in the long run.
3. I'm positive it's going to be long week :)
