But she and I have definitely adjusted from our former life. The girls never want to go anywhere. They are the biggest homebodies ever.

So you might think my house would look better. I know. I'm confused about that one myself.
I'm gonna tell you something--I'm anti-co-op. You know homeschooling co-ops, right? Some folks swear by them. I have several friends who are involved in 2 different co-ops on 2 different days every week. They ask me to join all the time. I told them they are starting to sound like Amway people. I am not interested in your pyramid!!!
Cognitively, I understand that a co-op is a good thing. And if the girls even knew what a co-op was, they would be all over it. Well, Sweetheart would anyway. She would LOVE it. I know she would. But I would not. I don't want to teach. I don't want to send my children to someone else and then teach other people's children. I did that for 11 years. I know it's different. I know I'm there with them. But I don't want to. (whiniest voice ever)
I don't want my schedule dictated by someone else. I don't want to have to be somewhere on time. I don't want my kids bringing home germs. I don't want school. Even if it's only one day a week.
I feel so good confessing that. It's not a popular opinion. And you just go ahead if you enjoy your co-op. I'm not anti-YOU being in a co-op. Just me.

Ahhh. I love it.
We do go places, but with gas like it is, I try to limit that to a few times a week. Today is a stay home day.
The mama is very happy.
