THE RIGHT ANSWERS ON NEON SIGNS!

I don't know about the rest of you but I really dislike the type of papers and questions that come with this time of year....... Like we need to meet to sign papers for your child to be retested your 3 year evaluation is due and we have to have it done by THIS TIME (I wonder if the world would explode if we did not actually sign by then... I know not the point) I am still having trouble with the fact that it has been 3 years already let alone anything else.

But the questions still keep flowing: What are you going to do next year... Do you want Carley in the Kindergarten class here? What do you want her to work on? Do you want to go to the transitional Kindergarten? And what about Macey are you going to try and put her back in IPOP (inclusive preschool) or put her in Kindergarten or transition kindergarten? I know you mentioned home school and your concerns about a full day kindergarten program? So are you going to home school part time, not at all, what skills, blah blah blah....... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK it all makes my head hurt.

I like any parent want what is best for my children. Sometimes I think it would be so nice if there were NEON SIGNS FLASHING THE RIGHT ANSWERS to all of our questions in life. This way you would know what to do next, it would be right no matter what and if it were right than surely the world would be a perfect place and no matter what that right answer was it would fulfill my children, give the best of everything and help them reach their fullest potential!
(K, Beth I will take a huge breath now ;-)

Yes I am a dreamer a very good dreamer! I'm might even be a bit slack or just maybe just down right lazy... I am pretty sure I always look for the easy way out too! But my bad habits probably should go on another post...... Maybe? I am probably the only parent out there has such confidence and not only second guess themselves but 3rd, 4th, millionth and trillion time guessing themselves! (if those are actually numbers or even a sentence!)
Hmm after typing that maybe my neon sign just lit up...... NO, STOP YOU FOOL YOU CANNOT EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN YOU WILL DOOM!!!!

The overwhelming dilemma of what to do, the worry of messing up, frozen in fear, the guilt, the pressure, thoughts of inadequacy!!!! Then there is the What Ifs.........what if I home school them and fail, miss something, not smart enough, do it wrong, don't make good friends, misses out on socials....... What if I send her to school, they fail, they miss something, they aren't smart enough, they have too many kids, she doesn't get good social times or friends!

Have I said how much I hate this time of year.... How I really dislike trying to figure things out... How I have read the statistics and they all scream Home school better educates... (until I do it then I am sure the numbers will fall DRASTICALLY). That because I am not good at staying on task will we just be a bunch of goof offs in the house who play all day (mmm:-)
How sometimes I feel if I pick a road I can't change my course(this may have something to do with I don't give in well and I hate to lose!) What if I make a decision and stick to it and it was WRONG!

Yes? NO? Maybe? I don't know? Should I? Would I? Could I? Better not? Could you? Should you? Who Knows!

ZUUP!
I think I will just stay right here! Let me know when it's summer or if you find Life's Neon Signs
