Homeschooling and "The Itch"

I have two friends who started homeschooling this past year. One has 6 kids, one has 5. Kuddos to them for even attempting it at this point! :-) They both wanted to know if there is such a thing as a 7-month itch, or a nonstop itch. :-) YES! This may discourage you, but I was not comfortable with homeschooling for a few years. I knew this was the right thing to do, knew we weren't going to change it, but it is hard! A huge lifestyle change, a huge mental shift - and I only had one in school to start! So anyone else want to offer encouraging words to my newbie homeschooling friends?

Hang in there Lara and Erica!!!

See there is no encouragement! I heard that we should try at least one more year before we make any decisions to quit. :)
