and here i thought i knew what i was doing....

In one of my online homeschool groups for the state somebody mentioned something about paying supervising teachers. I had NO clue they were supposed to be paid!!! I've never paid mine. Here I thought it was just a kind service they did to help us out! So now I've emailed my teacher asking what she charges. I feel horrible. She probably thinks I'm so big cheapo! At the same time I think its pretty sad that they charge at all. It's not like they do much besides come and see us once or twice and communicate through email or phone once or twice to make sure we're doing what we're supposed to do. Huh. Mississippi was so much easier when it came to homeschooling. At least we're not in Pennsylvania (I don't know how you do it Angel)!

This morning I have gotten so much done. I didn't go to bed until midnight and then Sweet Pea woke up after 6. She fell back asleep going on 7 but not me. I heard the two older ones downstairs so I cam down. They were already working on school!!! I LOVE seeing that! Booty Shaker was sound asleep in my bed with Sweet Pea (what a cute sight that is). Anyway, we're just about done with school (its almost 10 am), I managed to shower (sometimes that doesn't happen until noon lately), bathe the baby, bathe the dog, clean my shower, clean the kitchen, get the boys ready for the day, begin laundry. Wow. I feel like Superwoman! Ok, better put those jeans in the dryer so I have something to wear...

Geez it does seem like you have more trouble and problems w/homeschool in Iowa. I don't know anything about homeschooling, but why is it diff. everywhere? You go Superwoman! Isn't it crazy how us mom's do so much and get paid nothing? Man if we only got paid for the things we do, we all be millionaires.

I am OK said...

Oh man, homeschooling in Iowa does sound strict - we have no guidelines here at all. In fact the only thing I had to do was tell DC I was homeschooling and send them a copy of my highschool Diploma - they didn't even want my college one!

You totally were superwomen today - next can you please come to my house.

Hey girl! We finally have internet at our house - after almost two months! I've missed you! It sounds like life has been keeping you busy. Give those babies hugs from me! Love you!
