Hello!
Although I've visited the chat room several times, I've never formally introduced myself. I'm a teacher by trade. However, I'm at home now homeschooling my son. I'm a behind the scenes kind of person. . . so my involvement at church is either behind a camera or cleaning up (yes, toilets included) w/ the volunteer crew. I'm currently teaching a home group in a Bible study. Now that's a stretch for me. It's hard to blend in w/ the woodwork while you're teaching.
I look forward to getting to know ya'll. Blessings! Bugsy

Hi Bugsy,
Welcome. Nice to meet you. I just joined also. I am a also a teacher currently without students (not including helping my teens with homework) I homeschooled my sons for 6 years. Now that they are in public school, I really miss teaching and am dragging on my feet on getting a job. I love being able to pick them up and be available after school. My mom worked all my life. I really miss homeschool flexibility also. Maybe I will catch you in chat room.
I love homeschool moms! They are

Diane,
I know exactly what you mean concerning flexability. I love the freedom of making our own schedule (not to mention taking vacations when the crowds are slim).
I'm with you . . . having had a mom who didn't work for my first 8 years and then began working long hours, I missed her tremendously. I know it's not always possible to remain at home fpr financial reasons, but if by chance it is feasible, then my vote is to be there.
Blessings! Bugsy
Oh, and by the way, welcome to Oasis!

Lani,
Thanks for your joyful welcome!
I help clean up at my church. However, if you ever need help cleaning up any of your toilets . . . I'm your gal!
Blessings! Bugsy
