A little more freedom...

    Well the time has come to send Justina to school.  She has never been to school, I have alway homeschooled.  This is a bitter sweet time for me, the bitter being that I have screwed up and should of sent her earlier and the sweet that I will have a little more freedom with a little less stress, which may be beneficial for my blood pressure:)  Now Im not saying she will never be homeschooled again, as somewhere down the road circumstances may force me to.  But Im not going to think about that now and just enjoy only homeschooling one child.  I would send Mercy as well and enjoy total days of freedom but I would need to come up with another 350 a month (long sigh).  Our Alaska PFD money is flippn the bill for Justina:)  She will be attending a private christian school near our house where there is only 10 students for 4-8 grade combined!!!  Thats hopefuly a lot of one on one attention which Justina could benefit from. 
    My biggest fears in sending Justina to school... 1)  That she will tell the teacher that I always yelled at her and 2)  That it will be to hard for her as she is not used to a lot of what they will be doing.
    My hope is that being around other children will push her to do well and start caring for her schoolwork.  You see that is our biggest problem, she hates school and doesnt even try to do well.  This year we are hoping for a change:) 
    Mercy is doing most of her school online and she is very excited.  The only thing I need to do is math and she does that very well.  Should be easy, shes only in 1st grade:)
