Another year of homeschooling is staring me in the face and I have to admit I am not feeling up to it. Being here again was not part of the plan when we finished in May. I was set on my boys going to school, no matter what and would not be revisiting homeschooling until Oliver was in kindergarten...possibly. Well, that wasn't God's plan for us. I have to admit, I am scared of this year. With a two year old in the throws of the terrible year, an almost 5 month old who wants to be held all day, and a very stubborn, perfectionist 6 year old, teaching is not going to be easy. We've been thinking of hiring someone to come in and watch the kids for a couple of hours once or twice a week so that I can maintain my sanity. I have been feeling a little guilty about doing this. I just read this article and found it very timely. I'm not feeling so guilty anymore :-)

I was immediately thinking of that article! Why should you feel guilty? Chances are, your kids would love playing w/ a sitter (mine do!), and it's not like you're off pampering yourself leaving your kids unattended.
I know God will give you the graces to do this! You're an awesome mom.
