I am so very very torn on the whole (are you ready) homeschooling issue. I know the benefits. But, here's the thing. When we move, I'm not gonna know ANYONE. Well, except my dad. Yes, we will meet people in church, but I wanna know more people! (I'm greedy that way). Plus the church I think I'm interested in is about 45 minutes away. I want Wyatt involved in sports, and I swear getting any community information is like pulling teeth. My kiddo is pretty friendly and sociable, and I want him to have friends, well, to be friends with.
BUT South Carolina public schools SUCK. Now, where we are moving to, there are 2 elementary schools. One for PreK-1 or 2nd grade, and the other one goes through 5th grade. So he will be in school with other little guys. There is (what appears to be) a really good private school. Sounds like a good choice right? Well, Wyatt's on the waiting list. Plus, why pay 300/month for something I can do myself?
I think there's a dent in my desk roughly the shape of my head.
So, I think I'm being incredibly selfish in my wanting to send Wyatt to school. It's really not about the time for myself, it's about wanting friends. Plus, I've always pictured being the mom everyone goes to with problems, for advice, etc...How can I do that when there isn't anyone? Not that Wyatt won't have friends (I hope), but...you know what I mean. Maybe you don't.
Anyway, this morning I was surfing the net until my caffeine kicked in enough to make a coherant (albeit not spelled correctly) blog post. I found what I think may be a really good opportunity. There is a company that does cloth diaper parties, much like Tupperware, Pampered Chef, etc parties. I do want to CD when I have more, so it seems like a perfect solution. It will give me product knowledge, plus it's a social outlet. I don't expect to be nearly as busy as I would be selling Tastefully Simple or Pampered Chef, but...hey, it's something. I do think I'm going to look into it :) And cloth diapers have changed...A LOT. It's not like you even use pins anymore (unless you want to). It's super simple. And, better for the environment, your baby's hiney, and your wallet. You know, the more I think about it, the more I wanna look into it
