Really? I had heard that you wake up really tired sometimes. I'm glad to hear that that's not always the case. I'm glad it went well.
Oh, I was tired, but it was a good, sleepy tired--like when you wake up and can sleep another hour or so, but have been having good sleep. And, add another weirdness to me--I dreamed.
That's really nice. I was one of those kids. I ended up going back to "normal" public school for 5th grade because my mom needed to work because we weren't making enough money just with my dad working because of my now 2 siblings and her last high-billed pregnancy, but she did supplemental stuff my entire life, and it was pretty great.
Always good to hear good homeschooling experiences! I have a network of friends who homeschool to help out so that she gets lots of socialization and field trips and things like that. Since I can't work, I don't have to worry about being taken away from it. Hubby and I just had such bad experiences with public schools that I don't want my kids having the same, ya know? Plus, it never kept up with either one of us and so we ended up bored and 'learning' stuff we already knew almost all the time. I know my kids might not be as smart as we were, but the lack of adjustment to individual needs is a major reason I'm choosing it. (that and because I don't want Christianity, which our schools are rife with, rammed down my kids' throats--which is funny, since I know people who homeschool because they want their kids taught Christianity with their other studies)
