Our first Friday

Hooray! We made it through our first week, and we are all still here. Yesterday, Aidan was asked, "What school do you go to?" He bent his head, hunched his shoulders and mumbled, "My mom's school." I know that I have very good, valid reasons for doing this, but sometimes I worry. Am I taking away something special from them? Are they going to grow up to be anti-social? Will they hate me for this later? Sometimes being a parent is just plain tough.  No, I'm not doubting my decision already...I am committed to this for at least a year. I predict that I am going to enjoy this so much, that I would never consider doing it differently. Are you laughing? Well, I think my parents are, but then again there were seven of us....I'm not even going to touch that.
