Decisions

I've been thinking about homeschooling our boys this coming year. Well, I am already homeschooling Gaber, but Josiah goes to our church school. I really do love sending him and I do want Gaber to have that experience too, but then I want to try homeschooling both and see how it goes. Another reason is the cost. Our school is very inexpensive compared to most christian schools, but still we are a one income family so it takes quite a chunk out of our wallet each month. This coming year it will be almost too much with both boys enrolled. So...this week I have been praying about it and searching the web for curriculum's. I found one called Switched on Schoolhouse. (I actually think my sister-in-law told me about it a couple years ago). Well, I came across it the other day and really liked what I saw. I think Josiah would do good with it and even may enjoy it. For Gaber I'm thinking maybe ACE or abeka.
So that is one of my big decisions right now. One decision of ours was made last week when Jeff was accepted to be a Cadre. He started this Monday as an instructor at the MOB school on base. We have been praying and praying about which path he should take for months now. Well, this door opened up and the plus of it is we get to stay here for a couple more years. I love seeing prayers answered! So this was a big decision for us, because if he didn't get this or the other career he was hoping for, we may have gotten out. But now that he got this job we have decided to reenlist for another 4 years, which will take us to 12 years!
The last thing I have been thinking about is whether to start a very small home daycare to earn us some extra money. Like I said before, we are a one income family and so things are usually pretty tight. But now, with the thought of homeschooling, I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm trying to decide if I could handle babysitting another little one while teaching my boys. I think I could, but i guess I'd need to find a parent who wouldn't mind me being busy with my kids and theirs.
So, there are all my decisions. I need to decide about the boys soon b/c their book fee is due in one week at the school and it is non refundable, so I need to decide before then.
One last decision...I need to figure out why I have ants all over my desk! There is no food or drinks to attract them and I don't even see where they are coming from! I keep killing them with my finger but they keep coming back...time to get serious and spray!
